Course overview
Enhance your Java development toolkit
This five-day course with ILX develops your Java proficiency with advanced techniques and Java 17 features. Through personal learning and interactive live labs, you'll gain the skills to support enterprise-level systems and work towards Java certification.
Learning objectives
- Work with generics and wildcards
- Apply lambda expressions and method references
- Use functional programming patterns
- Leverage streams and collectors
- Implement robust exception handling
- Create modular Java applications
- Handle threads and concurrent processes effectively
- Apply Java annotations and reflection techniques
- Perform file I/O with Java I/O and NIO
- Integrate secure coding methods
What you’ll learn
Through hands-on, immersive training, you'll explore the advanced areas of Java that are key to building modern, efficient systems. Topics include concurrency, modularity, functional constructs, and secure development practices to expand your Java capabilities.
Inner classes and lambdas
Understand the structure and use of Java’s nested classes, including static, inner, local, and anonymous types. Learn how variable scope and shadowing behave within these contexts. You'll also gain fluency with lambda expressions and method references, enabling you to write more concise, expressive code - ideal for streamlining repetitive tasks and applying functional techniques in everyday Java development.
Working with Streams
Learn how to harness the power of Java Streams to process data declaratively. You’ll create streams from collections, apply intermediate operations like filtering and mapping, and use terminal operations such as collecting and reducing. The course also covers optional values, primitive streams, and stream chaining, helping you write cleaner, more efficient code for common data-processing tasks.
Modular design and services
Gain the skills to create modular applications in Java. Learn to migrate legacy codebases into modules, define and manage dependencies, and build modular services using the Java Platform Module System. This knowledge supports scalable application design and is key for developers working with large codebases or preparing for Java certification exams aligned to modular programming.
Advanced topics: I/O, annotations, reflection and security
Dive into advanced Java features that support real-world application development. Learn how to handle file I/O using both classic and NIO.2 approaches, create and use annotations, and write reflective code that adapts at runtime. You’ll also explore essential secure coding practices, from input validation to protecting sensitive data and defending against common Java security risks.

How is this course different from a beginner-level Java course?
This course builds on foundational Java knowledge and dives into advanced topics such as concurrency, modularisation, and functional programming. It’s designed for experienced developers ready to take on enterprise-grade development challenges.
Will I be able to practise coding and ask questions during the course?
Yes. This course is delivered in an interactive live virtual classroom, giving you direct access to the trainer and opportunities to ask questions throughout. You'll also work through practical exercises in a live lab environment, helping you apply advanced Java concepts and reinforce your learning through real-world coding practice.
How does this course help with real-world Java application development?
The course focuses on the implementation of Java 17 features, equipping you to handle real development scenarios like modular app design, parallel processing, secure coding and functional data processing – all critical in enterprise environments.
Are there follow-on courses I can take after this?
Yes. After completing this course, many learners progress to more specialised topics such as Developing Applications with Java EE, Unit Testing with JUnit, or Core Spring. These follow-on courses help expand your skills across enterprise development frameworks, testing, and modern Java application architecture.
