Java 2: Object-oriented Programming with Java Part 2 Short Courses
The Object-Oriented Programming with Java course builds on Java Part 1: Object-Oriented Programming with Java, introducing a wider range of classes from the Java language, put together in complex applications, e.g. multithreading in GUI applications using networking components to communicate with each other and download online resources, applying previously learnt programming constructs using design patterns that will be taught in the course. Parts of the API covered are threads, GUI development and event handling using Swing, networking, custom exceptions, assertions, I/O, Collections, Generics.
