If the course covers java 5 I think that it will be very very helpful for you.<br />
For the changes since java 5 read this article :-)<br />

If you get familiar with the Java conceptions then it will take a very short time to get familiar with the new features in java 7.<br />
It's my personal opinion!

Hm... There are most of the things that begginer must know. Nevertheless it's outdated course.<br />

I am new to programming, except markup languages, and have found some decent CBTs for Java that were made around 2003 -2006 for J2. I am wondering if that much has changed in Java that this training would be very dated and not worth the effort and I should look for more recent training &nbsp;or is this still good training? I want to understand Java and then move into Android programming. <br />
<br />
thanks

Java Programming Training CBT

Java is a platform-independent, object-oriented programming language and run-time environment, designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible such that developers can write one set of code across all platforms using libraries. Most devices will not run Java natively, and require a run-time component to be installed in order to execute a Java program.

Android is a mobile operating system developed by Google, based on the Linux kernel and designed primarily for touchscreen mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets. Android's user interface is based on direct manipulation, using touch gestures that loosely correspond to real-world actions, such as swiping, tapping and pinching, to manipulate on-screen objects, along with a virtual keyboard for text input. In addition to touchscreen devices, variants of Android are also used on notebooks, game consoles, digital cameras, televisions, automobiles and other electronics. Applications are usually developed in Java programming language using the Android software development kit (SDK), but other development environments are also available, including Delphi, Ruby and Visual Studio (using C++).
