About This Program

Organizations of all sizes require customized applications in order to meet organizational goals. The undergraduate certificate in enterprise web applications from American Public University (APU) offers a basic foundation in enterprise web development theories and skills necessary to design, develop, and implement robust enterprise web applications.

With this online certificate, you’ll learn how to apply and use object-oriented programming (OOP), HTML, JavaScript, Java, and e-commerce development solutions. In addition, you’ll develop your understanding of the process for building, testing, and deploying real-world Java applications through enterprise web application development coursework.

What You Will Do

  1. Understand the impact of Java 2 Standard Edition (J2SE®) and Java 2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE®) on IT Management, security, and global economies with regard to business ecommerce solutions on the web
  2. Study the principles and concepts of object-oriented programming (OOP) and evaluate their application in JavaScript and Java
  3. Grow your knowledge of the power and advantages of Extensible Markup Language (XML), which have made it the global standard for business data exchange and data dictionary standardization

This course introduces students to writing computer programs. The class presents the principles of structured programming using the Python® language, one of the most increasingly preferred languages for programming today. Because of its ease of use, it is ideal as a first programming language and runs on both the PC and Macintosh platforms. The course is designed for people without previous programming experience who do not necessarily plan on becoming professional programmers. However, the knowledge gained in the class can be applied later to other languages such as C and Java®. Participants learn to solve problems logically by breaking them into smaller pieces, which can then be solved. The course uses standard Python to afford a more interactive experience. Topics include: introduction to computing - how does a computer work?; input and output - getting information to and from the user; variables and expressions - performing arithmetic; data statements - reading information from inside the program; text files - reading information from other files; arrays - groups of variables; debugging - finding errors in your program; graphics; and formatting - changing how things look on the screen.

This course is a study and application of the principles and concepts of Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) as it is implemented in the world of Java®; including inheritance, encapsulation, and polymorphism. It appraises the processes and practices used to develop IT solutions that are reusable, modular, and small; all of which are popular objectives in the world of IT management. This course explores the inheritance (is a), containment (has a), and collaboration (use a) relationships; and examines the major packages in the Java Class Library, strings, arrays, classes; instantiation, properties, methods, constructor methods, method overloading, method overriding, inheritance modifiers, access modifiers, interfaces, and packages. This course also assesses exception handling with the use of “try,” “catch,” and “finally.” Students must have access to the latest edition of the Java Development Kit. This software is not provided by the course material grant and must be purchased/provided by the student. (Prerequisites: ENGR200 or ENTD380) Java® is a registered trademark of Oracle America, Inc.
