Course Structure – Java Junior

Course length

280 classes, each lasting 45 minutes of active teaching time.

Conditions of enrollment

Proficiency in English necessary for independent work, referring to documentation, as well as research online to locate necessary tools for development.

Course goals

Enable students to independently develop applications of low and medium complexity using the Java  and JavaScript programming languages. Give students a solid knowledge base which will allow them to continue their education on their own, increasing their proficiency and mastery of programming techniques and environments.

Course structure

The course is divided into two parts: (i) The fundamentals of programming and (ii) Advanced programming techniques. As a part of the course special attention is to be paid to the Java programing language and its particularities. Each of the course parts is divided into three segments. A detailed description of the course segments is presented below:

⎯  Fundamentals of Programming (112 classes)

  2. Fundamentals of Object-oriented Programming using Java. Basic concepts in the object-oriented programming paradigm: class, object, inheritance, polymorphism. Implementation of object-oriented programming concepts using Java.
  3. Fundamentals of Databases. Introduction to methods of data storage, relational data model and the SQL programming language.

⎯  Advanced Programming (168 classes)

  1. Principles of Software Engineering and Development of Web Application Backends (“Backend”). Development of “backend” Web application components using the selected framework.

    Podrska!

    Bio sam polaznik prethodne obuke, 2014. godine, uspesno zavrsio akademiju za mobile developer-a (android), praksa prosla odlicno, jos par meseci volontirao u istoj firmi, posle krenula plata. Sad sam u jednoj od dve najvece frime u Park city-ju, lepa plata koja ce tek da raste. Ima dosta da se uci i radi al mislim da vredi.
    Predavaca smo imali manje ali su svi bili odlicni.
