Java Object Oriented Programming Course
(4.84 out of 5) 8 Student Reviews
About the Course
During this 3-day course students will learn about object-oriented design and understand how to start a Java-based project from scratch. You will learn about the Java environment and its inner workings so you can run the code you have written in the most appropriate environment. You will also learn to write code that utilises inheritance to save unnecessary duplication, polymorphism to make your code extensible, encapsulation to keep code simple, and interfaces to allow 'plug-and-play' style coding. At the end of this course, students should feel confident to write object-oriented code that is efficient, well designed and future proof.
Who should do this course?
This course is suitable for participants who want to extend their skills beyond the syntax of Java language and be able to write code to professional standards using best practices. This course is also relevant to people who want to learn about Object-oriented programming and principles.
Prerequisites
Students should have completed the Java Beginners course or have a good understanding of Java syntax and coding structure and also have a good familiarity with using IDE’s, preferably Netbeans or Ecllipse

Course Reviews
Mathew is very thorough in explaining the concept and ensuring every is understanding the concepts for moving on. The material is amazing and I will be reviewing this content for a long time to come. Thank you Matt.
Very thorough and good examples. I really appreciated having the source code examples so we could edit and try solutions as we progressed. I also appreciated the stationary example that built upon itself throughout the course. It helped to see how a project could grow as you applied various principals. Thanks Matthew, for being flexible with breaks and start/end times too. It would have been good to go a little slower on the static concepts.
Very good in depth training – good training notes and sample code. Liked there were multiple version of the code – working and final version of code.
This Course helped me refresh my basics in Java and Matthew explained concepts very well and in an interesting way. Thoroughly enjoyed. :)
