Description

Course Summary

With over 200 videos and 20 hours of content, this online Java training course is designed to provide a solid foundation in Java programming and Eclipse for programmers who are already proficient in another language. Besides learning the basic structure and syntax of the language, you will also learn object-oriented principles and how they are applied in Java applications. In addition, this training course covers more advanced features of the language such as abstract classes, interfaces, generics, packages, and exception handling. Finally, you will learn two foundational API libraries: I/O streams and collections. This online training course is current to Java 7 and uses the Eclipse IDE.

If you are a complete beginner with no programming experience, please see our Learn to Program with Java for Complete Beginners courses, instead.

Hands On Learning

Unlike other online training courses, you are encouraged to actively participate in the learning experience by running example files during lectures and performing coding challenges during labs. Each lab session includes review videos so you can compare your solution to the instructor's.

Bonus Content

This training course comes complete with working example and lab solution files as well as a link to optionally purchase the workbook used in the video at a discount.
