What you'll learn
The five-day timeline of this course explicitly targets less experienced
programmers, providing them with a thorough step-by-step introduction to
Java programming. It lays a firm foundation for further study of Java.
There are a large number of example programs and many labs. An
important thrust of this course is to teach programming from an
object-oriented perspective. It is often difficult for programmers
trained originally in a procedural language to start "thinking in
objects." This course introduces object-oriented concepts very
early, and Java is developed in a way that leverages its object
orientation. Most of the course emphasizes simple classes without
inheritance. The last chapter introduces inheritance and polymorphism,
along with interfaces and collections. This revision of the course
targets the Java 8 language and Core API
Prerequisites
Good general problem solving skills. Some previous experience
programming in a procedural language is essential.
