Who Can Benefit

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.

Prerequisites

Solve logic problems

Describe the concept of a variable

Execute commands using a command-line interface

Skills Gained

Upon completion of this course, you should be able to:

Use operators and decision constructs

Use loop constructs

Develop and use methods
