Overview

The course helps participants to learn functional programming with lambdas and streams, as well as the Java Platform Module System (JPMS). UML, Design Patterns, and the use of composition versus inheritance are taught, as is unit testing.

Objectives

At the end of Advanced Java training course, participants will be able to

  • Solidify their Java foundational knowledge, including the important contracts of class Object
  • Understand the uses and consequences of inheritance and composition, and reinforce the role of interfaces
  • Leverage fundamental OO principles such as cohesion, coupling, and polymorphism
  • Use the JUnit testing framework and become fluent in writing assertions to verify correct program behavior
  • Understand UML modeling in class diagrams and sequence diagrams
  • Use advanced techniques for object creation, including factories and singletons
  • Use established design patterns for object composition, including Strategy, Decorator, and Facade
  • Write and use generic classes and methods
  • Leverage the use cases for inner classes and refactor existing code to use them when appropriate
  • Create and use custom annotations
  • Use reflection and how to use it
  • Understand the role of functional interfaces
  • Understand lambda expressions and method references, and use them to pass behavior (methods)
  • Use the Stream API to perform complex processing of collections and other input sources
  • Create and use Java modules, understanding module descriptors, modular JARs, exports and dependencies, and the modulepath
  • Understand the structure and behavior of the modular JDK, and how it supports modular applications as well as legacy classpath-based code
