Summary

Java is a general-purpose, concurrent, class-based, object-oriented computer programming language that is specifically designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible. It is intended to let application developers "write once, run anywhere" (WORA), meaning that code that runs on one platform does not need to be recompiled to run on another. Java is one of the most popular programming languages in use, particularly for client-server web applications. This training provides the Java novice with the necessary fundamental knowledge about the syntax and principles of the Java programming language so that it is possible to choose from a wide range of further trainings with more specialized contents.
