Project Description

Overview

This advanced online course provides a global industry standard accreditation in Java — the world’s most widely used general purpose computer programming language. Java is a cross-platform, high-level language, which is free for developers to download and use.

The course will teach you the core application programming interfaces used to design object-oriented applications with Java. You will also gain a deeper insight into Java applications, such as those that manipulate files, directories, file systems and databases. You will learn Advanced Java Class Design, generics and collections, Java Stream API, Java I/O fundamentals and exceptions and assertions.

Java is one of the world’s most dynamic programming languages. Its English-like syntax makes it relatively easy to learn, and a Java program can run on almost any platform.

And with a solid background in Java proficiency, you’ll have easily transferable skills if you choose to learn related languages such as C and C++.
