This course is presented in a way that enables interested students from any background to embrace the fundamentals of coding as well as an introduction to Java, in a gentle paced environment that focuses on coding basics, moving at the comfort level of the attendees.
Students are introduced to the application development cycle, structure of programs, and specific language syntax. The course also contains "Thinking Like a Programmer" sections that provide students insight on how to develop common algorithms. The course covers console and file I/O, string and character manipulation, managing data using collections and fundamental object-oriented programming concepts. Error handling techniques are also emphasized. The course also introduces how to access databases using Java. Comprehensive hands-on exercises are integrated throughout to reinforce learning and develop real competency.
Students will leave this course armed with the required skills to begin their journey as a Java programmer using modern coding skills and technologies. This course provides students with a solid foundation for continued Java programming training and skills development.

Students are introduced to the application development cycle, structure of programs, and specific language syntax. The course introduces important algorithmic constructs, string and character manipulation, dynamic memory allocation, standard I/O, and fundamental object-oriented programming concepts. The course explains the use of inheritance and polymorphism early on so the students can practice extensively in the hands-on labs. Structured programming techniques and error handling are emphasized. The course includes the processing of command line arguments and environment variables, so students will be able to write flexible, user-friendly programs. Students will leave this course armed with the required skills to begin their journey as a programmer using modern coding skills and technologies.
