ID2212 Network Programming with Java 7.5 credits

Nätverksprogrammering med Java

This course introduces the programming language Java and the techniques for network programming in it. It gives hands-on experience in writing distributed applications.

The aim of this course is to introduce advanced network programming tools and techniques on the level which enables one

  • to use Java Application Programming Interface and windowing toolkits (AWT, Swing)
  • to design GUI clients for network servers
  • to develop concurrent programs with threads, in particular, multithreaded servers
  • to program Java applets and servlets
  • to use sockets, URL connections and content handlers in network programming
  • to develop distributed applications with sockets, Java RMI, CORBA, servlets, JSP, JSF, EJB, JDBC, JXTA and J2ME (Java 2 platform, Micro Edition).
