From 0 to 1: Learn Java Programming -Live Free,Learn To Code

An accessible yet serious guide to Java programming for everyone

What Will I Learn?

• Write Java programs of moderate complexity and sophistication (at an early to middling intermediate level)
• Understand Object-Oriented programming concepts at the level where you can have intelligent design conversations with an experienced software engineer
• Manage concurrency and threading issues in a multi-threaded environment
• Create and modify files (including Excel spreadsheets) and download content from the internet using Java
• Use Reflection, Annotations, Lambda functions and other modern Java language features
• Build serious UI applications in Swing
• Understand the Model-View-Controller paradigm, the Observer and Command Design patterns that are at the heart of modern UI programming
• Gain a superficial understanding of JavaFX and Properties and Bindings
• Understand the nuances of Java specific constructs in serialisation, exception-handling, cloning, the immutability of strings, primitive and object reference types

Requirements

• No prior programming experience needed:)
• The class will make use of Java and an IDE - never fear, we have a detailed video to walk you through the process of setting this up

Target audience

• Yep! Folks with zero programming experience - liberal arts majors, doctors, accountants, lawyers
• Yep! Engineering students from non-CS majors looking to learn fairly serious programming
• Nope! Experienced Java programmers - this class will be boring for you:)
• Yep! Computer Science students or software engineers with no experience in Java, but experience in Python, C++ or even C#. You might need to skip over some bits, but in general the class will still have new learning to offer you 🙂
