Java Programming Basics

Overview

Taking this course will provide you with a basic foundation in Java syntax, which is the first step towards becoming a successful Java developer. You’ll learn how computers make decisions and how Java keeps track of information through variables and data types. You’ll learn to create conditional statements, functions, and loops to process information and solve problems. You’ll even learn to use IntelliJ, a Java IDE (Integrated Development Environment) that professional developers use, to build, compile, and debug your code. These are foundational programming skills, and mastering them is a must for all aspiring programmers. This course is the first in our Java Programming course series. After you complete this course, you'll be ready to take Object Oriented Programming in Java.

    Very nice i love this soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo…
  • A very easy approach of Java, just for the syntax of it, not for object oriented. It does have only small examples of code, not something particular.

    A pretty good general introduction to coding for people who have never done any coding before. Concepts are well explained and introduced logically.

    Easy to understand and learn. Self paced. I completed this course in 1 week and learned the basics quite well. I have deducted one star because a lot of exercises had some technical issues where the correct answer was also being taken as a wrong answer and after viewing the answer it was exactly the same answer that i provided.
  • The concepts are up-to-date for beginners but their should be more quiz's to solve and a certification should be provided.

    Course gives a good introduction for the Java programming language. I felt that the exercises should be more difficult giving more emphasis on coding rather than multiple choice questions.
  • Very well structured and fun course. I am a front-end developer trying to learn JAVA and this was a good recap of the basics !! innovative and engaging way of learning.
