XML · Serialisation

We will show you how to serialize objects from Java to an XML file and read them back into your Java program.

We will show you, by using try and catch blocks, how to stop your program from crashing when invalid user input is entered.

We will cover some miscellaneous concepts such as static variables, static methods, javadoc and storing calculated data.
