This course is a series of comprehensive exercises built around a sample Java project. The project creates an authentic context for the exercises, which address all the features of Together covered in the workshop.

Participants spend most of their time developing the sample project, using a workbook to guide their efforts. The workbook divides the exercises into separate modules, with four modules presented per day. The workbook itself serves as an excellent record and resources for future reference.
