Students must be completely comfortable with interfaces and abstract classes, generics and collections, recursive methods, enumerations, varargs, basic Java I/O, serialization (and the transient keyword), the bean pattern, and basic UML class diagrams. Our Beginning Java Application Development class provides a significant portion of this background knowledge.
