Hi folks,
Allow me to say, I apologize if this topic has been beaten to death (if so, I didn't find the links during a search on the ranch) so bear with me.
Here's our situation. I have been developing a training plan for our mostly mainframe staff to learn
Java (J2SE) leading up to
J2EE. I've developed quite a few modules building the base knowledge (many of the basics, classes, inheritance,
polymorphism, beginning swing, exception & error handling, beginning threads, etc.) however, I've come to what I feel is sort of a crossroads which I could use your input / guidance on. As I mentioned in my long-winded subject, we need to learn J2EE,
JSP, EJB, and JMS. So, I'm not sure how best to utilize everyone's time so that the transition is smooth.
Here are some of my remaining J2SE topics I was going to cover:
JDBC, Hashcode, collections, More Swing,
Applets, basic
patterns, sound & mail, Adv I/O Streams [checksum, filtering, etc.]...so, SHOULD I STILL COVER THESE TOPICS? Should I zap any of them?
What beginning topics should I introduce our beginning users to for J2EE? I don't know about you, but I did NOT like the way the J2SE topics were covered in "The Java Tutorial" and so, I am concerned about their coverage for J2EE. ANY ADVICE? ANY GOTCHAS?
Any help would be most appreciated!
Janet
