Developing and Testing OO Applications with Java Using Eclipse: Are you already familiar with the basics of the Java language? Are you interested in moving toward certification in Java? Move beyond the fundamental skills of Java syntax and logic flow into concepts. Design flexible and maintainable applications with interfaces. Create Graphical User Interfaces (GUI) for stand-alone applications and applets using Swing. Learn to manipulate and manage data using Java's Collection Application Programming Interface (API). Create threads of execution for multithreaded applications, and create simple distributed object systems through Java's Networking API and Java Remote Method Invocation (RMI). This course includes hands-on labs.
WebSphere Business Modeler: Process Mapping, Simulation and Analysis: This course introduces the participants to Business Modeling. The course also introduces the fundamentals of Service Oriented Analysis and Design (SOAD). The course uses IBM WebSphere Business Modeler Advanced edition as the modeling tool. A well-constructed business process model can help modelers identify inefficiencies and problems with business models earlier in the cycle and eliminate those hidden inefficiencies leading to savings in costs and improving performance.
New Features of RAD v7 for WSAD v5 Developers: The course is designed to give information on numerous new features available from RAD 7. After taking the class, students will be able to fully take advantage of WAS v6 and RAD v7.
Technical Introduction to WebSphere MQ: This is a one day technical overview of the functions available in the IBM WebSphere MQ product on all platforms. This course is a prerequisite for other administration and programming courses.
WebSphere MQ Java Application Programming: This three day course teaches students how to develop MQ business applications using the Base Classes for Java. The labs include extensive hands-on MQ Java coding exercises as well as basic administration tasks on UNIX and Windows platforms.
JMS Programming for WebSphere MQ: This course teaches Java programmers how to use the JMS (Java Messaging Service) classes for developing applications in the IBM WebSphere MQ environment. Through lectures and extensive hands-on exercises, the students learn to design, develop and deploy industrial strength messaging applications. The course topics include JMS architecture, point-to-point messaging model, publish/subscribe model, working with queue and message objects, JMS administered objects and many other topics.
Developing Java EE Web Applications Using RAD v7: This course is an introduction to writing Java EE-compliant Web applications using IBM WebSphere Application Server 6.1 and Rational Application Developer 7.
