Swing is a very powerful GUI framework. You can practically implement any desired GUI using Swing.

Although simple tasks are easy to implement using Swing, it is very hard to implement sophisticated high-performance UI. The Achilles heel of Swing is its complexity.

This course will cover the design principles behind Swing and the “under the hood” stuff the will make you “dance” Swing. As a Swing dancer, you will find Swing a very powerful tool.

Aspect Oriented Programming (AOP) is a programming approach that provides the ability to achieve modularization for crosscutting concerns, i.e., logic that applies to many parts of the application, in a single place and to have that logic applied across the application automatically.

By using AOP, the developer can create highly maintainable and extensible modules and produce a code that is more readable and reusable.

AspectJ is the most popular AOP language/platform for Java and provides a powerful compile-time and load-time solution for building AOP-based logic and adding it to an application.

The course includes many examples and hands-on exercises by means of which the material is demonstrated and practiced.

Debugging is one of the most painful and time-consuming activities performed by programmers during the development cycle. In spite of the fact that debugging is a fundamental and repetitive activity, it is not trivial and, in many cases, programmers lack the knowledge needed to apply effective and efficient debugging techniques. Acquiring such knowledge and mastering the right tools can significantly increase productivity and greatly reduce the time and effort needed during the debugging process.

The Eclipse integrated development environment is a great tool for debugging Java programs. This course goes through the different tools available in eclipse, and teaches how to use them for effective debugging.

Maven is a project management tool. Maven manages the build process, SCM, testing, reporting, distribution and documentation of your projects.

Maven brings best practices and design patterns into your project management eco-system.

The course includes many examples and hands-on exercises by means of which the material is demonstrated and practiced.

Design patterns are a must for every developer. Design patterns help the developers write extensible and maintainable code.

Design patterns also provide the developers with common vocabulary for design and allow easy classification of conceptual problems.

The course will focus on the well known GoF patterns and their appliance in the Java language.

The Web Beans standard provides a unified component model for Java EE.

Generally speaking, it allows for EJBs to be used as JSF components.

Web Beans provides dependency injection between EJB, JSF, Servlets and regular Java Beans and defines new scopes like conversation.

Web Beans greatly simplifies the development of JEE web applications by making the connection between the different components easy and natural.

Ever got tired of shell-based build-scripts (e.g. make)?

Ant is de-facto the Java build standard.

This seminar will introduce the basics of Ant and then will cover the most important Ant tasks.

Continuous Integration (CI) is an important part of any Agile methodology because it can help developers discover their bugs sooner.

Every project can benefit from Continuous Integration which leads to greater productivity, early bug detection and better teamwork due to immediate discovery of integration bugs.

CruiseControl is a popular CI framework. It enables you to create an automated build system. CruiseControl is an open-source, easy to use and mature solution. It contains a lot of built-in plugins that provides you with Source Control Management integration, mail notifications, unit-tests and many more useful features.

Groovy has powerful language features (e.g., Closures, Builders, Categories) that are not available in Java.

Because of its seamless integration with Java, Groovy can provide powerful tools to any Java developer.

With the power of Groovy, developers can produce more readable and maintainable codes.

By now Test Driven Development (TDD) is a well known and appreciated practice exercised by many development teams around the globe.

Unlike what the name suggests, TDD is not a testing technique but a development technique that results in cleaner high quality code. Implementing effective and useful TDD is a complicated task that requires developers to have both discipline and familiarity with a set of test automation tools.

This course explains the TDD methodology, introduces a recommended set of open-source testing tools and includes hands-on exercises (about 50% of the course's duration) to practice the tools.

EJB (Enterprise Java Beans) is the one of the key standards of JavaEE.

EJBs allow the developer to concentrate on the business logic whilst all the peripheral services are taken care of by the application server (clustering, persistence, locking, messaging, pooling, etc…).

EJB is one of the main reasons for the great success of JavaEE.

Version 3 of EJB has greatly eased the development of EJBs. It is now considered to be an excellent framework for building enterprise applications.

Servlets & JSP are the corner-stones of nearly every Java web application.

Servlets are Java classes that can handle HTTP requests, and as such can return web content.

The course goes into detailed description of the Servlets & JSP technology which are crucial for almost any JEE web-development team. Whether you will later use Struts, JSF or Spring MVC, understanding these fundamentals is a must.

The course focuses on Servlets 2.5 and JSP 2.1 (part of JEE 5).

OSGi is a dynamic module system for Java. The OSGi Service Platform provides a standardized, component-oriented environment for distributed services.

The OSGi technology provides a service-oriented architecture that enables auto-discovery, easy deployment, loose coupling and manageable dependencies.

Organizations using the OSGi technology benefit from reduced development costs (due to out-of-box component services), easier manageability (because of dependencies framework) and more business opportunities (because of the large adoption of OSGi and its dynamic and reusable nature).

The course contains many examples and hands-on exercises, by means of which the material is demonstrated and practiced.

Representational State Transfer (REST) is an architectural style for designing networked applications and exposing Web Services.
