The Java I/O Workshop is a one day hands-on class designed to cover the low-level input/output capabilities of the Java 2 platform. This class will, through lecture and hands-on workshops, teach you the ins and outs of Java I/O manipulation.
Java Training Background
Java's I/O functionality, found in the java.io package of the standard library, is built on streams (channels for input or output). Streams can be opened from or to a disk file, a socket, an Internet URL, the console, and other sources or destinations. Java's I/O classes are organized such that once the initial source or destination has been established, all streams are handled the same way.
Java I/O handling can be used to read/write anything from individual bytes to chunks of text to entire live objects. In the latter case, it is the foundation for Java serialization, which lets you save, restore and transmit complete Java objects with ease.
Java Training Prerequisites
Students are expected to be familiar with the Java programming language.
