Dive into Java, one of the world's most popular programming languages. Engage in hands-on, instructor-led lab exercises to master Java syntax and understand the structure of well-written Java programs. Explore interfaces, base classes and objects using Java's accessible syntax, and learn skills common to all programming languages including variables, flow control, pointers and arrays.

Cover Object-Oriented (OO) programming principles and review the extensive OO framework libraries in Java. Upon completion, you will gain practical experience with Java development tools and understand elements of the vast Java I/O library including Java collections frameworks and generics, and understand how to read and write files using the I/O library.

What You Will Learn:

• The Java environment: virtual machines, structure of a Java program and development tools.
• Java syntax: language syntax, files, directories, packages, variables, arrays, flow control and exceptions.
• Java library: streams, file I/O, generics and collections.

This course is included in the Java Developer Certificate and Master Programmer Certificate.
