Java Web Programming

Java Web Programming provides an in depth look at web based development using the Java programming environment. The course is broken into three sections. The first provides a quick overview of the HTTP protocol and reviews the basic elements of HTML. The purpose is to provide foundational HTML knowledge for creating very simple web pages.

The second part of the course focuses on the building blocks of web application development using Java. The primary focus is on understanding and using Servlets and Java Server pages for creating web based applications.

The final section builds upon Servlets and JSP to develop a powerful web framework. One that provides both a robust and flexible solution for web development. These are the same concepts used to develop popular web frameworks such as Struts and Spring.

This course is a 4 day class. [ Download ]
