The New Features of the Java SE 6 Platform course provides students with information on how to program applications with Java technology using the new features of the Java Platform, Standard Edition 6 (Java SE 6). Java SE 6 has many new features, enhancements, and improvements, such as better GUI performance and better handling of the behavior of GUI applications, plus improvements and new features in server-side core and Java core. In this course, students learn the enhancements and new features of Java SE 6 in the areas of production time instrumentation, monitoring, and management, diagnosability, web services, scripting language support, networking, desktop client programming, support for annotations, and security.Students who can benefit from this course:Programmers already familiar with the basic structure and syntax of the Java programming language and who need to further expand this knowledge to develop complex, production-level applicationsApplication developers, architects, system administrators, technical managers, web developers, and individual who want to learn the new features and enhancements in the Java SE 6 programming language
