About the Course
Starting from simple examples, this 3-day course will build up your Java skills so that in the end you will write code with confidence and clarity. You will learn to create Java classes containing methods (including the main method) and fields which you can put in a package. You will write code that uses variables, primitives, 'if' statements, loops and other objects. You will also handle exceptions, arrays (and other collections), strings and dates; as well as writing code that uses generics and lambda expressions and much more.
You will also learn to install an integrated development environment so that you will have all you need to practice your skills after the course.
Who should do this course?
This course is a great starting point for participants who is just starting out on their Java journey and need to learn the syntax of the Java language.
Prerequisites
No prior knowledge of Java programming is required; however participants need to have general mouse and keyboard skills and an understanding of personal computers and the Windows operating system.
