Java and .NET Development

Introduction:

In the world of software development, Java and .NET are two of the most powerful and widely used platforms for building robust applications. This comprehensive course on Java and .NET Development aims to equip participants with the essential skills needed to develop high-quality, scalable applications in both environments. Through hands-on projects and real-world examples, learners will explore core concepts, frameworks, and best practices in Java and .NET development. By the end of this course, participants will be well-prepared to tackle modern software development challenges using these two powerful technologies.

Course Objective:

By the end of this course, participants will:

• Understand the fundamentals of Java and .NET programming languages.

• Gain proficiency in using Java frameworks (Spring, Hibernate) and .NET frameworks (ASP.NET, Entity Framework).

• Learn best practices for building secure, maintainable, and scalable applications.

• Develop skills in database connectivity and data manipulation using both platforms.

• Create and deploy applications in Java and .NET environments effectively.
