Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) Introduction (Coursera)

Offered by LearnQuest,
Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) Introduction (Coursera)

The intent of Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) Introduction is to get some hands-on experience with foundational JDBC concepts. On our journey we’ll learn about why and how the API makes working with databases easy for Java Developers. After this course you should not only be able to demonstrate the mechanics of JDBC but furthermore, you should be able to explain the design and intent.

Syllabus

WEEK 1
Connecting to a Database
In this module you will learnt the core concepts of Java Database Connectivity (JDBC). You will load a database driver into a Java Application so that you can connect to a database, send commands to the database using the Statement Objects to define and load tables.

WEEK 2
More Statements
In this module you will extract data from database tables either using a ResultSet or a JdbcRowSet, define referential integrity constraints and leverage table associations between tables in ResultSet extraction.

Mastering the Software Engineering Interview (Coursera)

CS: Software Engineering

You’ve hit a major milestone as a computer scientist and are becoming a capable programmer. You now know how to solve problems, write algorithms, and analyze solutions; and you have a wealth of tools (like data structures) at your disposal. You may now be ready for an internship or (possibly) an entry-level software engineering job. But can you land the internship/job? It depends in part on how well you can solve new technical problems and communicate during interviews. How can you get better at this? Practice!

CS: Software Engineering CS: Programming

This course teaches learners (industry professionals and students) the fundamental concepts of concurrent programming in the context of Java 8. Concurrent programming enables developers to efficiently and correctly mediate the use of shared resources in parallel programs. By the end of this course, you will learn how to use basic concurrency constructs in Java such as threads, locks, critical sections, atomic variables, isolation, actors, optimistic concurrency and concurrent collections, as well as their theoretical foundations (e.g., progress guarantees, deadlock, livelock, starvation, linearizability).

Prepared Statements and Stored Procedures (Coursera)

CS: Software Engineering

This is the second course in Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) and builds upon the core principals and techniques in the JDBC 1 course. It utilizes PreparedStatements, highlighting their advantages over JDBC Statements. It will also introduce utilizing Stored Procedures on the database server itself to encapsulate complex SQL and PLSQL logic. The Course also introduces the idea of querying the database meta data such as table structures and how to cope with different SQL syntax for different Jdbc complaint databases via the JDBC escape syntax.
