Using Decision and Looping Constructs With the Java Programming Language

 Course Description
    Course Outline/Details

The Using Decision and Looping Constructs With the Java Programming Language course is designed for students with little or no programming experience who want to continue to learng to program using the Java programming language. This course focuses on the constructs used to dictate the flow of your programs. These constructs include if/else and switch constructs, do/while, while, and for loops, and methods. Students taking this course can receive a solid basis in the Java programming language upon which to base continued work and training.

     Who Can Benefit Back To Top

    Students who can benefit from this course are individuals who have basic mathematical, logical, and analytical problem solving skills and who want to begin learning the Java programming language. These students include technical writers, Web developers, technical managers and individuals with a technical, non-programming background, such as system administrators. This course is also appropriate for novice programmers and those programmers who prefer to start learning the Java programming language at an introductory level. However, individuals are encouraged to have had some programming experience, whether with a scripting language such as PERL or a third-generation language (such as Basic or C) prior to attending this course.
