Comprehensive Java Programming Using NetBeans

Overview:

Introduction:

Java is one of the most widely used programming languages for building scalable, secure, and cross-platform applications. NetBeans is a powerful integrated development environment (IDE) that streamlines the Java development process through a visual interface and built-in tools. This training program introduces participants to the structure, syntax, and features of Java, using NetBeans to support modular application development from foundational principles to advanced programming techniques. It provides a structured progression that equips participants with the knowledge to build and manage complete Java-based applications.

Program Objectives:

By the end of this program, participants will be able to:

• Define core Java syntax, data types, and control structures used in structured programming.

• Differentiate between procedural and object-oriented programming principles in Java.

• Identify the elements and structure of graphical user interfaces (GUIs) using Swing in NetBeans.

• Interpret how to manage files, exceptions, and database operations in Java applications.

• Gain the required skills to organize and develop modular Java projects using NetBeans for scalable application design.

Targeted Audience:

• Software developers.

• Technical professionals transitioning to Java development.

• Programmers seeking to upgrade skills in NetBeans-based Java application development.
