iSeries (AS/400) Java Introduction

Course Code: AJV1

Description
iSeries (AS/400) Java Introduction is a self-paced, audio driven course specifically designed to bring experienced AS/400 programmers up to speed with the Java language. The course presumes no prior Java experience and guides the student through the process of downloading the JDK, configuring it on the PC, accessing the documentation, compiling and running Java programs, deploying applets on the AS/400 web server, installing the AS/400 Toolkit for Java, and accessing DB2/400 database files. The programming examples illustrate the important, basic, object- oriented programming concepts that present a hurdle to many experienced programmers. The course focuses on building practical GUI interfaces in applets for the purpose of accessing AS/400 database files.

Upon completion you'll be able to:

Download and install a Java Development Kit.
Download and install the IBM AS/400 Toolkit for Java.
Understand Java language syntax and follow common programming practices.
Compile Java classes and interpret compile errors.
Design applets with common GUI components.
Configure Java-related options in the leading web browsers.
Deploy applets on an AS/400 web server.
Retrieve data from DB2/400 database files and display it in an applet.
Process data entered in an applet and store it in DB2/400 database files.
