Java Programming Certificate
Learn Java using the Eclipse IDE
The Java Programming Certificate series is comprised of four courses covering very beginning to advanced Java and object-oriented programming concepts, as well as skills using the Eclipse open-source IDE (Integrated Development Environment).
- See the Java Certificate press release
When you complete this certificate series you will be able to create applications in Java that utilize object-oriented design, JDBC (Java Database Connectivity), multithreading, interactive GUI (Graphical User Interface), I/O and sockets. Completion of this series also prepares you for the upcoming Advanced Java Certificate Series. These courses are coached and facilitated by OST's informed and friendly instructors.
In OST's Learning Sandbox® called Ellipse, you'll have access to an expanded learning version of Eclipse where you will apply your new skills as they are presented by completing real-world projects. All content and communications with your instructor are delivered in this version of Eclipse, which greatly simplifies the workflow and learning process.
Prerequisite: Some programming experience. If you are a beginner we recommend either Introduction to Object Oriented Programming or Javascript 1 as barebones introductions to programming.
Completion of the 4-course series earns students a Certificate of Professional Development from the University of Illinois. All courses are certified by the University of Illinois Department of Computer Science, and students receive Continuing Education Credits upon completion of each course in the series.
