Postgraduate Diploma in Java Enterprise Web and Distributed Programming
Introduction
This course provides coverage of technologies and development methodologies for building web and distributed applications with the Java Enterprise and Standard Editions. The course covers the fundamentals of Java programming before introducing web related topics such as Applets, Servlets, Java Sever Pages (JSP) and Java Server Faces (JSF). You will also learn how to access databases with Java and to create database driven websites. The modules gradually move from the simple to the complex as they show you how to work with: the Glassfish and Tomcat Servers, the NetBeans IDE, Java Object Oriented Programming, HTML pages and forms, JSPs, servlets, and the MVC pattern, Java Server Faces (JSF), RSS, Sessions and cookies, JavaBeans, the JSP Expression Language (EL), the JSP Standard Tag Library (JSTL), custom JSP tags, MySQL, JDBC, and connection pooling, authentication, listeners.
We then move beyond web applications into the sphere is distributed programming with coverage of Networking, Security, Remote Method Invocation, Java Messaging and other topics that ensure you have the in-depth understanding of enterprise programming required of top class programmers. This course covers most of the objectives of the Oracle Certified Java Programmer (SCJP) , the Oracle Certified Web Component Developer (SCWCD) accreditations and the Oracle Certified Business Component Developer (SCBCD)
