JAV-401 --- Java Performance Tuning Workshop

In this Extreme Learning expert-led courses, you will learn a blend of tuning methodology, performance theory and practical tips on solving difficult performance problems

In this Extreme Learning expert-led courses, you will learn a blend of tuning methodology, performance theory and practical tips on solving difficult performance problems. You will have an opportunity to hone your skills on a series of labs that are derived from real problems found during our consulting experience. The tools learned are all freely available or open source and will equip you to immediately apply what you have learned in your workplace. No more suffering through slow, under performing applications. You will learn how to develop code with performance as the goal and the end user in mind.About Extreme Learning: Get taught directly by the experts and interact with peers in an engaging informal environment. These are intensive, deep dive training sessions designed for advanced IT professionals which incorporate expert-led presentations.Students who can benefit from this courseJava developers and Quality Assurance engineers.
