Course Outcomes:

The student will be able to :

• Interpret the need for advanced Java concepts like enumerations and collections in developing modular and efficient programs
• Build client-server applications and TCP/IP socket programs
• Illustrate database access and details for managing information using the JDBC API
• Describe how servlets fit into Java-based web application architecture
• Develop reusable software components using Java Beans

Question Paper Pattern:
