Description

Learning to code can be both fun and rewarding . Java is a useful ,robust and popular programming language to embark on that journey. The best way to learn programming is my doing and getting your hands dirty.
This course is a practical Hands-on course  with simple to follow  videos that will not overwhelm  a beginner programmer.

 Java  is  a  case-sensitive, modern, general-purpose, object-oriented programming language.  One of the reasons Java is so popular is that it is platform independent . You only need to write java code once and then run it on any platform  be it mac, windows or Linux.

You will learn about:
   Primitive Data Types
  Basic Data types
 Variables
 Arrays

We will also build some projects with graphical user interfaces -GUI

The projects include:
Digital Clock
Temperature Converter
Height Converter
Word Count Tool


 This course  will  guide you through java basics, its core syntax, and the fundamentals of writing strong java code.  I will  show you how to install Java JDK and NetBeans IDE. Netbeans is a  great IDE for developing in java, and then dive into the language itself. Along the way, we will cover topics such as:
Declaring and initializing variables with a variety of data types
Exploring  Basic Arithmetic operators
Troubleshoot Compile errors
Controlling flow with conditional code
Creating Method
Creating Event Handler methods
Using Component controls and changing their properties

If java is your first step into programming or adding it your existing skillset, these training videos will help you understand the language and use it to build your own great software.
