Why learning Java is important?

Java is an incredible toolset. It’s a good language to learn the OOPS concepts and build real life applications. Java works as a prerequisite in learning many courses, namely, Hadoop, Android, Selenium, and many more.

I am not from a Java background, can I take this course?

Yes, you can. Anyone interested in learning programming concepts particularly object-oriented programming can take this course.

It is advisable to be certified in the latest version to develop the skills employers are looking for and also to validate your expertise. Oracle provides regular updates, you can identify the gap and fill it by upgrading your skills with the latest changes done by Oracle and adopted in the market.

What are the different levels of certifications offered by Oracle?

Oracle certifications are of four levels:
OCA - Oracle Certified Associate - an entry-level certification for individuals just becoming familiar with Oracle in the tested area.

OCP - Oracle Certified Professional - next step up for candidates who had achieved the OCA certification. It is best suited for the individuals that who can execute the task unsupervised.

OCE - Oracle Certified Expert – an advanced level certification targeting niche expertise areas. These professionals show higher degree of proficiency in a very specific subject area.

OCM - Oracle Certified Master - the highest level certification offered by Oracle. The candidates owing OCM certification demonstrates the ability to administer enterprise-class databases.

Is it necessary that for being OCP certified I first have to be an OCA?

Yes. For attempting the OCP exam its mandate to have OCA certification.

Do you provide any certification at course completion?

Yes, on the successful completion of training, you will receive a training certification from Multisoft Systems. To be certified in Java, you have to write the exam conducted by Oracle.

Can I work on the Java assignments using my Windows system?

Yes, one can always use your Windows system to practice Java. For this install Java Development Kit (JDK) & Eclipse IDE or any other IDE on your Windows system.

Can I install Java on my Mac Machine?

Yes, Mac OS allows you to work on Java/J2ee & SOA.
Operating system requirements: For Java 7 and later versions, you will need an Intel-based Mac running Mac OS X version 10.7.3 (Lion) and above. Administrative privileges are required to install Java on a Mac as it is performed on a system wide basis, for all users, and cannot be installed on a per-user basis.

Browser requirements: A 64-bit browser e.g. Safari, Firefox is required to run Oracle Java on Mac OS X. Chrome, a 32-bit browser, do not support Java 7 on the Mac platform.
