Java Performance Tuning and Optimization
Course ID : D69518GC10
Develop applications by using the Java programming language Implement interfaces and handle Java programming exceptions Use object-oriented programming techniques In this course, students will learn performance tuning methodologies, performance tuning theories, and practical tips on solving difficult performance problems for Java applications. Students will hone their skills on a series of labs derived from real world performance tuning issues. Students also learn about various tools and mechanisms for monitoring, profiling and tuning Java applications.
