This course is geared for individuals who have no prior experience in computer programming. Throughout this gentle introduction to programming and Java, you will learn the best practices for writing object-oriented programs in Java 8, using sound development techniques. You will learn foundation level skills that maximize performance, using Java 8 capabilities for addressing rapid application development. Special emphasis is placed on object oriented concepts and best practices throughout the training.

  • Steps involved in the creation of a computer program
  • Investigate different programming languages and their place in computer programming
  • History of Java
  • Apply the different numbering systems (binary, hexadecimal, octal) used by computer systems
  • Select the appropriate tools for the development of Java applications
  • Need for software architecture
  • Apply the basics of UML for the design of object oriented applications
  • What OO programming is and its advantages
  • Work with objects, classes, and OO implementations
  • Basic concepts of OO such as encapsulation, inheritance, polymorphism, and abstraction
  • Fundamentals of the Java language and its importance, uses, strengths, and weaknesses
  • Basics of the Java language and howit relates to OO programming and the object model
  • Use Java exception handling
  • Use classes, inheritance, and polymorphism
  • Use collections, generics, autoboxing, and enumerations
  • New Date/Time API
  • Java tooling

This is a true beginner-level programming course designed for IT candidates without prior development experience who wish to get up and running with Java to a basic level of competency, or who need to refresh introductory-level, sound object-oriented Java coding practices.
