Introduction to Advanced Java
Java is a widely used programming language known for its portability, security, and robustness. While Core Java provides the foundation, Advanced Java focuses on web-based and enterprise-level applications. It includes key concepts such as JDBC, Servlets, JSP, Hibernate, Spring, and Web Services, which help in building scalable and secure applications.
This course is designed for Java developers who want to deepen their understanding of server-side development, frameworks, and modern Java technologies. By the end of this course, learners will be able to develop dynamic web applications, implement database connectivity, and work with frameworks like Spring and Hibernate.
