This Introduction to Java course is carefully designed to establish a strong, comprehensive foundation in programming by teaching you the essential core concepts and principles of the Java programming language. Throughout the program, you'll be progressively introduced to key coding principles and gradually build toward confidently writing, testing, and executing your own Java programs that function correctly.
What You'll Learn:
- Master the fundamentals of Java syntax and the logical structure of Java programs, enabling you to read and write code correctly
- Work effectively with variables to store data, understand different data types and how they function, and use operators to perform calculations and comparisons
- Control program flow using conditional statements (if, else, switch) to make decisions and loops (for, while) to repeat actions, creating responsive and dynamic programs
- Understand functions and methods to organize code into reusable, modular components that make programs easier to understand, maintain, and extend
- Apply your new knowledge through practical hands-on mini projects that require you to combine multiple concepts and create working solutions
How You'll Learn:
- Each course session integrates concept instruction with live coding demonstrations and guided hands-on practice. You'll learn by actively writing actual Java code, solving real programming challenges, and asking questions in a supportive, non-judgmental learning environment where no question is considered too basic. The course culminates with small but meaningful projects where you'll have the opportunity to demonstrate your new understanding and apply creative problem-solving to practical programming tasks.
This course is available for "remote" learning and will be available to anyone with access to an internet device with a microphone (this includes most models of computers, tablets). Classes will take place with a "Live" instructor at the date/times listed below.
Upon registration, the instructor will send along additional information about how to log-on and participate in the class.
