This
4-day
course
is for
programmers
who already
know the
Java language
and wish
to develop
applets
or applications
that have
a rich
user interface.
These
applications
would
typically
be standalone
or the
client
part of
a client-server
or multi-tier
solution.
The course
also shows
how to
create
and exploit
the JavaBeans
architecture
for both
visible
and functional
beans.
Prerequisites
Students
must have
a good
working
knowledge
of the
Java language,
typically
obtained
by prior
attendance
on our
'Java
Programming'
('GN-134')
course.
