Look inside

The course starts with an overview of Java, its importance, and its uses, followed by instructions on setting up a development environment. Participants will learn about Java’s fundamental elements like variables, operators, arrays, and control structures, enabling the creation of simple to moderately complex programs.

A major part of the course is dedicated to Object-Oriented Programming in Java, covering topics such as classes, objects, encapsulation, inheritance, and polymorphism. This will provide a thorough understanding of how Java manages data.

Also, the course includes a focus on effective program design, particularly on handling exceptions. This is to ensure students can manage errors and build reliable software.

The course culminates with a practical project: creating a Note Keeper application. This project applies the skills learned in the course, encompassing user interface design, file management, and common application features.

Overall, this course provides a solid foundation in Java programming. By the end, participants will be equipped to undertake their own projects, using Java as a stepping stone into the world of software development.
