Diploma in Java Programming (Java Standard Edition) with Sun Certified Java Exam Preparation Module (Dip. Java Prog. SE) by Distance Learning
Introduction
This course teaches people with little or no programming experience how to program with Java, the worlds most popular programming language. Java has become the platform of choice for creating many different types of desktop, web applications and games software. There are now billions of Java enabled computers, mobile phones and other devices worldwide.
This course helps novices become literate in Java programming and experienced programmers become skilled Java developers. Skilled Java programmers are in demand worldwide for exciting well paid jobs.
The Diploma in Java Programming provides the complete preparation for both the Sun Certified Java Associate Exam and the Sun Certified Java Programmer Exam.
The course also introduces UML (Unified Modelling Language) which is used to design software before it is created. This is particularly important for candidates for the Sun Certified Java Associate Exam but is of benefit to all Java programmers.
