Java Developer Certificate

Students are first taught fundamental programming concepts and then are exposed to important programming techniques such as object-oriented design and handling exceptions (runtime errors). Object-oriented concepts and proper use of classes, objects, inheritance and polymorphism are emphasized throughout the first few courses of the curriculum, to ensure that students are able to write reusable code that adheres to best practices. During the program, students will gain plentiful experience with the Eclipse integrated development environment during lab exercises. Comprehensive hands-on exercises are provided throughout the certificate program to reinforce learning and develop real competency. Students are also assigned a personal facilitator for each course in their program. A facilitator is an instructor that is available to answer questions, assist with any issues that arise, and mentor you throughout the program to assure your success. Bright Star’s Java Developer certificate program provides a comprehensive knowledge of not only Java as a language, but also coding skills such as SQL and algorithmic programming that are important for career advancement in the fields of Information Technology and Software Development. SQL proficiency is a skill that is often overlooked by many coding bootcamps, despite databases being a crucial component of most large-scale software. Bright Star students gain a solid understanding of relational database design concepts, SQL syntax, and construction of complex SQL queries using a variety of techniques such as unions, subqueries, and aggregations. Coverage also includes the creation and use of stored procedures, functions, views and triggers.
