Programming Logics FORUMS

Hello,
The diffrence is that core java is the fundamental for java that will be used in any java technology without this no one can jump on any advance java technology.
Where as advance java is specialisation in some domain , as someone in networking, web,DCOM,or data base handling.
And more over core java packages are always started with java.lang..... where as advance java are always with javax.servlet.

The fundamentals concepts of java which deals basically with oops concepts and their implementaion in language can called core java and the remaing is called adv.java for
your view to answer the question.
The core and adv contents which are providing in present institutes are just a business logic.if you want to know what we are having in core concepts please go with sylabus details of certification exam of j2se.

It is not an official term. I guess it means knowledge of the java language itself and the most important parts of the standard API( java.lang, java.io.) as opposed to the multitude of speciaized APLs and frameworks(J2EE, JPA).
