Learn Java Basics

Get started with the Java language

Learn Java through Practical Examples

This is our starting point with Java and the powerful JVM ecosystem. Before building web and enterprise-scale applications, but also mobile apps, AI apps, we need to build a solid foundation. Simply put, we need to establish the basics really well.

That’s why the course here requires no prior experience with Java. We’ll start with the necessary setup for development and create and run our very first Java program. 

Then, we’ll learn the basic syntax of the language, including variables, operators, instructions, conditional statements, and loops. We’ll then move on to understanding object-oriented programming in Java.

We’ll conclude with learning about other core concepts in Java that are necessary to start building full-fledged examples, like reading input, working with text, dates, files, exceptions, debugging, and more.

Actual coding practice through a project – definitely the best way to get started with Java 

The essential guide to getting started with Java programming. The 5 modules cover the basic syntax of Java, OOP, working with Input/Output, Files, Text, Dates, Exceptions, and more.

Everything you need to understand the basics of Java.
