Course Description

With Java, you have the power to develop large systems, software, and even mobile development for Android. Whenever you learn Java coding abilities and start building real-world projects with them – an entire universe of possibilities open up! Popular for its flexibility as well as expansive range of applications, learning Java is key if your goal is to become a proficient coder.

Learn Java Course 

In this Learn Java course, you’ll see Java is a general-purpose programming language that is concurrent, class-based, object-oriented, and specifically designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible. Being that Java is an underlying technology and required by many applications and Front-End Web Development, you will find it in places like business applications, mobile applications, server-side applications, desktop applications, data centers, game consoles, utilities, desktop computers, laptops, smartphones, and more.

Module 1: Foundations (Beginner) In this introductory module, you’ll delve into the fundamentals of computer programming. We’ll explore the history of programming languages with a specific focus on Java and provide an understanding of the software development life cycle. By the end of this module, you’ll have a solid grasp of the foundational concepts required for Java development.

Module 2: Terms and Tools (Beginner) Module 2 covers essential programming terminology and guides you through the process of downloading and installing Java. You’ll also become familiar with programmer editors and integrated development environments (IDEs), including Eclipse. By the end of this module, you’ll be well-equipped with the necessary tools to start coding in Java.

We’ll also explore primitive data types, operators, and essential concepts like escape characters and type conversions. Best practices for Java reserved words and commenting will be emphasized, along with an introduction to abstract data types.

Module 4: Object-Oriented Programming (Intermediate) Module 4 shifts the focus to object-oriented programming (OOP). You’ll gain a deep understanding of OOP concepts and the role of objects in Java development. Through hands-on exercises in the Eclipse Lab, you’ll put theory into practice and solidify your grasp of OOP principles.

Module 5: Predefined Classes (Intermediate) This module introduces you to a variety of predefined classes in Java.

By the end of this module, you’ll be well-prepared to invoke methods effectively in your Java programs.

Module 7: Methods Part 2 (Advanced) In this advanced module, you’ll dive deeper into methods. You’ll explore handling multiple arguments in methods and engage in practical lab exercises to reinforce your knowledge. The module culminates with a mastery of method overloading, a crucial concept in Java development.

Module 8: Constructors (Advanced) Module 8 focuses on creating objects and constructor declarations in Java. You’ll gain a solid understanding of constructor overloading and default constructors, which are essential skills for building robust Java applications.

Module 9: Control of Flow (Advanced) This module delves into control structures in Java. You’ll master the use of while and for loops to control the flow of your programs, enabling you to write efficient and organized code.

Module 10: Arrays and Exceptions (Advanced) Module 10 explores array structures and their applications. You’ll learn about constants and array sizes, important aspects of working with arrays. Additionally, you’ll delve into exception handling using the try-catch block, ensuring your Java programs are robust and error-tolerant. Finally, we’ll conclude the course by discussing next steps in your Java development journey.

Key Term Knowledge Base: Key Terms Related to Java Programming

Java programming is a vast field with a plethora of concepts that are essential for developers to understand. This knowledge is not only crucial for writing effective Java code but also for understanding how Java applications function and integrate with other technologies.

TermDefinition
JavaA high-level, class-based, object-oriented programming language that is designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible.
Object-Oriented Programming (OOP)A programming model organized around objects rather than actions and data rather than logic.
ClassIn Java, a blueprint from which individual objects are created, encompassing fields and methods to define the behavior of an object.
MethodA collection of statements that are grouped together to perform an operation in a class.
ConstructorA block of code used to initialize a newly created object and is called when an instance of a class is created.
Control FlowThe order in which individual statements, instructions, or function calls are executed or evaluated in a program.
ArrayA container object that holds a fixed number of values of a single type in Java.
Exception HandlingThe process of handling the occurrence of exceptions, which are anomalies that disrupt the normal flow of program execution.
InheritanceA mechanism in Java by which one class is allowed to inherit the features (fields and methods) of another class.
InterfaceAn abstract type used to specify a behavior that classes must implement.
PolymorphismThe ability in Java to present the same interface for differing underlying data types.
EncapsulationThe bundling of data with the methods that operate on that data, restricting access to some of the object’s components.
AbstractionThe concept of hiding the complex reality while exposing only the necessary parts.
VariableA piece of memory that can contain a data value.
Data TypeAn attribute of data which tells the compiler or interpreter how the programmer intends to use the data.
LoopA sequence of instructions that is continually repeated until a certain condition is reached.
Conditional StatementsStatements in Java (like if, else, switch) used to perform different actions based on different conditions.
RecursionA process in which a method calls itself continuously.
ThreadA small unit of processing that is part of a process. Threads allow a program to operate more efficiently by doing multiple things at the same time.
Garbage CollectionThe process by which Java programs perform automatic memory management and clean up memory space that is no longer in use.
