Java and JSP Combo Training

Workshop Length

5 days

Objective

If you already know at least one programming language, and a little HTML, this workshop will teach you to use Java and JSP to build professional web-based applications.

Description

Java is a general purpose programming language. HTML is a language for describing static web pages. When you combine the two, you get JSP, an extremely productive tool for creating dynamic, database driven web sites. Historically, training companies would have you spend five days learning basic Java. Then spend another five days learning JSP. We feel, however, that JSP is a great platform on which to start your Java learning. You won't get the depth of taking two five day workshops. But you will get the essentials to be up and running building powerful Java based web applications.

Prerequisites

This class is designed for people who already know how to program. If you currently use Visual Basic, Delphi, Cobol or Fortran and want to learn Java then this is the place to start. You must have a firm grasp of programming concepts such as: looping, branching, functions, passing arguments to functions and returning values from functions. While Java, to some extent, is based on the C programming language, no prior knowledge of C is assumed. Also, no prior knowledge of object oriented programming is assumed. Some HTML is assumed.
