Today is the start of a new edition of the Java Masterclass, hosted by Logica IDT Rotterdam. In this masterclass newly joined talents will be trained to equip them with the knowledge and capabilities to ‘fully release their potential’.

Of course that sounds a bit like advertisement, so I’ll try to explain how this masterclass will fulfill this goal. First of all the masterclass consists of two global parts: software engineering theory, software engineering practice.

The theory part will be thought by internal and external trainers and will bring the students into contact with experienced software engineers. The theory part should help them obtain their SCJP certificate.

It will consist of the following subjects:

• Basic OO,
• Control structures,
• Classes and interfaces,
• Inheritance and polymorphism,
• Collections,
• File IO,
• Networking,
• Text processing and math,
• Regular expressions,
• Exceptions and logging
• Threading and concurrency

On the other hand is the practical part; this will be on the same days as the theory and will allow the students to apply their knowledge on a real case. This will ensure that they really grasp the ideas that are thought to them.

This edition will have two cases: A fruit auction, where teams of students built a multi-threaded event driven network application to buy and sell fruit trying to raise the largest revenue of the competing teams

The second case is implementing a simplified bank system, where a bank is simulated and gets a couple of network interfaces to communicate with the world.
