Overview

This online course is focused on teaching you the fundamental skills and concepts of Java, one of the world’s most widely used programming languages, used in desktop computing, Android development, game development and big data companies. Java is generally regarded as the world’s most popular programming language, and 90% of Fortune 500 companies use Java.

After completing this Oracle-certified introductory course, you will be able to write efficient, functionally powerful and syntactically correct Java code, and demonstrate both conceptual knowledge and skills and complex problem solving.

You will have a solid understanding of Java Standard Edition (SE) and the Java programming language, including data types; operators and strings; decision and looping statements; classes, constructors, and methods; exceptions, ArrayLists and the Math class.

Please note: Apart from a similar name and sharing syntax and some standard libraries, Java is a very distinct language from JavaScript, which is the standard programming language for creating interactive websites.
