Look inside

Welcome to this course on getting started with the Java platform! I’m excited to have you here. And by the end of the course, you’ll be excited to work with your new Java skills and all the opportunities those skills will open for you.

This course is exactly what you need if you want to learn Java at a nice pace, in an easy way, with a friendly instructor.

In this video tutorial, I walk you through the basics of Java and show you the ropes, step by step, in small easy-to-digest lessons, as if we were sitting side by side at a coffee shop, as I guide you along. There’s no pressure here, nothing crazy difficult and you have everything to gain. All it takes to become a Java developer is a bit of patience and persistence along with a willingness to try things out and keep working at them.

So... are you ready? Then I’ll see you inside. Let's do this!
