State of the Industry

According to the TIOBE programming community index, Java has been the most popular programming language in the world since 2002. Java is the language of choice for creating applications, be they desktop, web or mobile based. This widespread use has led to a huge demand for developers with a strong base in Core Java and the frameworks used for building applications.

MCIT’s diploma in Java Programming focuses on both the backend and frontend of applications, readying students for various job profiles, including Core Java developer or enterprise application developer. Students are exposed to Spring and Hibernate Frameworks and user-interface technologies like JavaScript, HTML, and CSS. After gaining some proficiency in developing applications using core Java technologies, students are introduced to more advanced concepts like Servlets and JSP to build dynamic websites. Towards the end of this profile path, students are taught the basics of building web services: how to make your app interact with other applications and make it available to others as a web service.
