12 ProTech Professional Technical Services Canada, LTD. Page: 6 Java & Open-Source Java Wireless Programming This course introduces experienced Java programmers to the Java Micro Edition, or Java ME, and develops skills in Java programming for wireless devices via the Mobile Information Device Profile, or MIDP. The course begins with a top-down tour of the ME architecture, focusing on wireless programming via the Connected, Limited Device Configuration, or CLDC, and the MIDP. Students learn the simple Core API of the CLDC -- primarily by contrast to the Java Standard Edition Core API - and then move into the individual packages of the MIDP. We then study MIDP development in detail, working through several chapters on user interfaces and event handling, to local record storage and network connectivity, and on to threads and timers. The course concludes with chapters on advanced topics including memory management, best practices, and "over the air provisioning," which is a standard deployment model for MIDP applications to wireless devices via HTTP, including a security model using digital signatures. Duration: 4 Days/Lecture & Lab Audience: This course is designed for Java programmers. Prerequisites: This course is intended for experienced Java programmers. List Price: $2100 CIBC Price Live/Virtual: $1600/$1200 JDBC Programming Version 5.0 This covers the fundamentals of database programming in Java using JDBC (Java Database connectivity) in an incremental fashion, to get the programmer up to speed quickly and then to layer a deeper understanding of JDBC upon that foundation. This course has been designed to work with any of these relational database management systems:-apache Derby, version MySQL, version 4.1 -PostgreSQL 8.0 -Oracle, version 9i or 10g Duration: 1 Day/Lecture & Lab Prerequisites: Experience in Java Programming is essential. The student must be comfortable with object-oriented Java, interfaces and abstract classes. Understanding of basic SQL usage or other work with relational databases will be helpful, but is not required. List Price: $525 CIBC Price Live/Virtual: $400/$300 Design Patterns in Java Software Version 5.0 This course seeks to develop, for the experienced Java programmer, a strong, shared vocabulary of design patterns and best practices. The course begins with a discussion of how to recognize and apply design patterns - that is, how to incorporate pattern awareness into one's own analysis, design, and implementation practices. The main body of the course focuses on the Gang of Four design patterns, with a chapter each on creational, behavioral, and structural patterns. Classroom time is about evenly split between discussion, group design exercises, and coding labs to reinforce finer points of important patterns.this is not a patterns catalog: it is as much a study of how to "think in patterns" as it is an introduction to several of the most important patterns. Students will be challenged to bring their own previous development experience to the discussion, to see the patterns in everyday design and coding solutions. The course puts more emphasis on some patterns than others. We believe that students will be better served by going into a few patterns in depth, with lively discussions of several others, than by following a regular routine of discussion and examples over every GoF pattern. Prerequisites: Experience in Java programming is essential especially object-oriented use of the language. Language features and techniques that are integral to some lab exercises include interfaces and abstract classes, threading, generics and collections, and recursive methods. Previous experience with UML (Unified Modeling Language) will be helpful, but is not critical. The course uses UML class diagrams extensively but keeps notation fairly simple, and also includes a quick-reference appendix. List Price: $1575 CIBC Price Live/Virtual: $1200/$900
