COURSE OVERVIEW

Java is one of the most popular programming languages. Java offers both object-oriented and functional programming features.

We take a hands-on approach using a combination of JShell and Eclipse as an IDE to illustrate more than 200 Java Coding Exercises, Puzzles, and Code Examples. This course assumes no previous ( beginner ) programming or Java experience. If you’ve never programmed a computer before, or if you already have experience with another programming language and want to quickly learn Java, this is a perfect course for you.

In more than 250 Steps, we explore the most important Core Java Programming Language Features

• Basics of Java Programming – Expressions, Variables, and Printing Output

• Java Operators – Java Assignment Operator, Relational and Logical Operators, Short Circuit Operators

• Basics of OOPS – Encapsulation, Abstraction, Inheritance, and Polymorphism

• Basics about Java Data Types – Casting, Operators, and More

• Java Built-in Classes – BigDecimal, String, Java Wrapper Classes
