Additionally, Dr. Singh covered exception handling, which is crucial for robust Java programming. The interactive Q&A segment allowed participants to address specific questions and deepen their understanding of these concepts.
Day 2: August 6, 2024
Session 1: Collection Framework and String Handling
Resource Person: Dr. N. Pratheeban
The day began with a session on the Collection Framework and String Handling, presented by Dr. N. Pratheeban. Dr. Pratheeban provided an in-depth overview of the Java Collection Framework, including its core components such as Lists, Sets, and Maps. He also covered essential String handling techniques, focusing on efficient text manipulation and storage. The session was interactive, featuring practical examples and exercises that facilitated a deeper understanding of these fundamental concepts.
Session 2: I/O Streams and Multithreading
Resource Person: Akhliesh Kumar Singh
In the afternoon, Akhliesh Kumar Singh led a session on I/O Streams and Multithreading. This session addressed the basics of Java's I/O Streams, including File I/O, Object Serialization, and various stream classes. Akhliesh Kumar Singh then covered multithreading concepts, such as thread creation, synchronization, and concurrent programming. The session included practical demonstrations and a Q&A segment, which allowed participants to resolve specific queries and deepen their understanding.
Day 3: August 7, 2024
Session 1 & Session 2: JDBC
Resource Person: Mr. Sharad Gupta
The third day featured two sessions on JDBC (Java Database Connectivity), conducted by Mr. Sharad Gupta. The first session introduced the basics of JDBC, including database connection, SQL query execution, and result handling. The second session advanced to more complex topics such as transaction management and batch processing. Mr. Gupta’s expert instruction, combined with practical examples and live coding demonstrations, provided participants with a thorough understanding of JDBC. The day concluded with a Q&A session and an assessment to evaluate participants' comprehension of the material.
Day 4: August 8, 2024
Session 1 & Session 2: Servlets and JSP
Resource Person: Mr. Lavish Arora and Mr. Rajeev
On the fourth day, Mr. Pradeep Singh conducted two sessions on Servlets and JSP (JavaServer Pages). The first session covered the fundamentals of Servlets, including their lifecycle, deployment, and integration with web applications. The second session focused on JSP, exploring its syntax, expression language, and capabilities for creating dynamic web content. Both sessions were interactive, featuring hands-on exercises and real-world examples. The day ended with a Q&A session for further clarification and an assessment to gauge participants’ progress.
Day 5: August 9, 2024
Session 1 & Session 2: Hibernate, Spring Core, and Spring Boot
Resource Person: Mr. Rajeev
The final day included two sessions led by Mr. Rajeev , focusing on Hibernate, Spring Core, Spring Boot and MVC. The first session introduced Hibernate, covering ORM (Object-Relational Mapping) concepts, configuration, and CRUD operations. The second session explored the Spring Framework, including Spring Core for dependency injection and Spring Boot for creating standalone, production-grade applications. Mr. Lavish Arora sessions included practical examples and demonstrations, providing participants with valuable skills in these technologies. The day concluded with a post assessment quiz and a valedictory session to formally close the event and recognize participants' achievements.
Overall, the event was a success, with each session offering valuable insights and practical knowledge. The expertise of the resource persons and the interactive format contributed to an enriching learning experience.
Event Outcome:
The JAVA-J2EE Faculty Development Workshop, held from August 5 to August 9, 2024, achieved its objectives of enhancing participants' knowledge and skills in Java and J2EE technologies. The workshop was a comprehensive learning experience, offering a structured and detailed exploration of key concepts in Java development.
Key Outcomes:
- Foundational Knowledge:
- Day 1: Participants gained a solid grounding in Java fundamentals, including Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) principles and inheritance, through sessions led by Dr. J. N. Singh. Dr. Pradeep Singh further enriched the participants' understanding by covering abstraction, packages, and exception handling, essential for effective Java programming.
- Advanced Concepts:
- Day 2: The sessions on the Collection Framework and String Handling by Dr. N. Pratheeban, and I/O Streams and Multithreading by Akhliesh Kumar Singh, provided participants with in-depth knowledge of Java’s core libraries and concurrency management. This day emphasized practical applications and efficient coding practices, enhancing participants’ ability to handle complex data structures and multi-threaded applications.
