<div id="relatedContentUpper" class="RelatedContent Module fl"><h2 class="head headline2 mg-1">Definition of Java</h2>
<ul class="unstyled">
<li><p>The Java programming language was first released in 1995 by Sun Microsystems. Many applications and websites use Java. For example, Java is the foundation for most online games and viewing images in 3-D. It's also used in the business world for e-commerce. According to an East Tennessee State graduate's account of his work as a Java programmer, a Java programmer spends his days writing code, accessing databases, debugging previously written code. The Java programmer might start the day the local updating code to what other team members worked on the day before, then log in to local servers and look at runtime logs to locate problems. Java programmers may troubleshoot code before moving on to writing new code.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<h2 class="head headline2 mg-1">Education for Becoming a Programmer</h2>
<ul class="unstyled">
<li><p>Some programmers may get bachelor's degrees in computer science or computer information systems. However, not all college programs provide extensive Java training, so your education may not stop here or you may choose another route entirely. You can take Java-focused college classes, either in person or online. Or you can even take <a href="https://www.programminghomework.dev/java-homework-help/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Java Homework</a> tutorials online if you think you can build an impressive enough portfolio for job applications without having a degree next to your name.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<h2 class="head headline2 mg-1">Getting Java Certification</h2>
<ul class="unstyled">
<li><p>Your next step in successfully getting a job as a Java programmer is obtaining professional certification in Java. This certification provides proof of your expertise to potential employers. You can choose to get certification from Oracle, the company that currently develops Java; most employers value this certificate. According to Tech Republic, Oracle has three categories for Java certification: Standard SE, Mobile ME and Enterprise EE. Each category has its own subset of levels ranging from professional, which covers the fundamentals, to master and expert. An associate or professional SE certification shows you have the necessary skills to program. If you already have a solid Java background and want to be trained in business-level applications, then EE is the path to choose.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<h2 class="head headline2 mg-1">Getting the Programmer Job</h2>
<ul class="unstyled">
<li><p>Even with the right certification, it can be tough to get hired by a software company without experience. Try starting your own business on the side and do programming projects and mobile applications for clients, suggests John Sonmez, a software app developer and author of numerous developer courses, on the DZone website. You can start building a portfolio for future jobs this way. Sonmez says that some people start out in a quality assurance role and work their way up.</p>

I direct <a href="http://www.hol.edu">The Heritage Institute</a> a program of continuing education for teachers located in the Northwest, but with distance education offerings that reach teachers anywhere with Internet access.<br />
<br />
We are expanding our online offerings and want to do a suite of short courses for credit and CEU's on the uses of Web 2.0 -type applications for classroom instruction. As many of you know, most teachers out there have little or no exposure to using the internet beyond simple searching, and names like wiki, blogs, RSS feeds, podcasting and more are like a foreign language.<br />
<br />
So, my first question is how to best design, name and present courses which cover some of the basics and then move on from there. My sense is that, say, an elementary teacher, will want to know simple steps on how to make elementary science, or writing come alive through use of the web. So, a course that is very subject specific and shows them examples of what other teachers have done would be a away to start.<br />
<br />
Secondly, I'm looking for a few instructors who have a masters degree and who could offer courses like this for us. We already have someone doing a course on Google Earth and its uses (social studies etc), and I am doing content area courses around themes of social justice, environment and global issues. But I would love to chat with some of you using web 2.0 or other apps at both the secondary and elementary levels.<br />
<br />
My email is mike@hol.edu.<br />
<br />
Thanks.<br />
<br />
Mike Seymour
