Introduction to the Java Programming Language

Course Description

Course Outline/Details

The Introduction to the Java Programming Language course is designed for students with little or no programming experience who want to begin learning to program using the Java programming language. This introductory course begins with the concepts you must learn to become a Java programmer followed by a description of a product life cycle (PLC) you will follow when creating most of your Java technology programs. You will apply the first four stages of the PLC during the remainder of the course as you analyze your first problem, create your first design, and develop and test your first Java program. Students taking this course can receive a solid basis in the Java programming language upon which to base continued work and training.
