Overview

Learn How to Program with Java LiveLessons takes the learner from beginner to proficient, covering all the important concepts in Java: from basic syntax, to object-oriented basics, to using libraries, to building user interfaces.

Description

The Java programming language is designed specifically to be readable, secure, and highly performant; therefore, small and large companies make use of it, and knowing Java guarantees you a variety of career options for the foreseeable future. Becoming an effective Java programmer requires much more training than learning languages such as Python or JavaScript. In this course, Shaun bridges the gap and provides students with all the resources they need to effectively program in Java.

This course provides a solid foundation in programming with Java. Shaun starts off teaching the basics, such as data types, basic syntax, and program structure with simple operations. He then moves into the basics of object-oriented programming in Java, then into more granular topics, such as mapping and user interfaces.
