Java SE7 Fundamentals: Handling Errors and Deploying Applications
by Skillsoft
During normal program execution in Java, the caller method calls the worker method, the worker method performs an action and the execution returns to the caller method. When an exception occurs, an exception is thrown and either a special Exception object is passed to a special method-like catch block in the current method or execution returns to the caller method. Classes are grouped into packages to ease the management of the system. To deploy a Java application, you put the necessary files into a JAR file. A major performance penalty is paid in two-tier client/server. The three components or tiers of a three-tier client/server environment are presentation, business logic or functionality, and data. They are separated so that the software for any one of the tiers can be replaced by a different implementation without affecting the other tiers. This course provides an overview of error handling, and covers propagation of exceptions, catching and throwing exceptions, and multiple exceptions and errors.

Java SE7 Fundamentals: Overloading, Validation, and Object-Oriented Concepts
by Skillsoft
In Java programming, methods have several uses. They make programs more readable and easier to maintain and development and maintenance is quicker. Methods are central to reusable software, they allow separate objects to communicate, and they distribute the work performed by the program. Method overloading allows several methods in a class to have the same name but different arguments, so the method signature is different. In Java, you encapsulate by hiding object fields to make all fields private. Constructors are method-like structures in a class that have the same name as the class. They are frequently used to initialize fields in an object, and can be overloaded. Inheritance results in a class hierarchy of Java technology classes similar to the taxonomies found in biology. This course covers creating and invoking methods, static methods and variables, and method overloading. In addition, this course covers encapsulation and constructors. An overview of inheritance, working with superclasses and subclasses, polymorphism and overriding methods, interfaces, and the Object object are also covered.Audience: Programmers with an understanding of object-oriented programming concepts who want to learn Java; programmers proficient in another object-oriented programming language who want to move to Java.Objectives: Java SE7 Fundamentals: Overloading, Validation, and Object-Oriented Concepts create and invoke methods use method overloading use encapsulation in Java create constructors in Java create and call methods with arguments and return values implement encapsulation use constructors to initialize objects create and use superclasses and subclasses use polymorphism and override methods use Java interfaces Duration: 1.5 ...
