Prerequisites:
• A basic knowledge of object-oriented technologies is necessary.

Ratio of theory to practice:
• 50/50
A theoretical training course illustrated through concrete examples provided in the form of practical work, so as to ensure the rapid autonomy of participants. These exercises are integrated into a coherent case study.

Objectives
Java, an object-oriented language, is above all an incredibly rich standard environment and a design philosophy developed around this environment. Learning to program in Java is understanding its syntax and basic concepts, and mastering the diversity of the environment, so as to be rapidly able to orient your design choices.

Object-oriented concepts
• Instances - Messages
• Classes and encapsulation
• Inheritance - Polymorphism

Fundamental principles of Java
• Code portability and virtual machine
• Code downloads and security
• Object programming

Characteristics of the Java language
• Syntax, declaration of classes and inheritance
• Creating and handling objects
• Managing errors through exceptions
• Differences between C++ and Java

JDK, JRE
• Writing source code
• Compilation, execution
• Documentation generation
• Other tools

Utility classes (java.lang, java.util)
• System classes: System, Runtime
• Wrappers
• Handling collections
• Handling character strings
