with Ken Fogel
Closed Captioning available in English
Overview
This video provides you with instruction in the fundamentals of Java. You will begin by learning how to set up a programming environment on your personal computer using freely available open-source tools. Once set up, you will learn how to model the real world in a program using the various data types available to you. From there, you learn about expressions and statements that allow you to do useful work. Organizing code into classes and methods comes next.
Learning to program involves acquiring several skills, especially if your goal is to become a professional programmer. This first video in the Java Tutorial Series helps you take the first steps toward the goal of programming in Java at the professional level. You will learn how and why to use the syntax of the Java language. But more important than just the syntax, this course teaches you the skills you will need to develop code as part of a team in a professional working environment.
What You Will Learn
- Establish a Java development environment on your computer
- Write and run basic Java programs that can display information with just a text editor
- Learn about and use the primitive data types available in Java
- Solve a range of basic math problems taken from everyday life such as calculating loan payments for money that is borrowed
- Understand the concepts of structured programming and object-oriented programming
- Control how your code can be used by applying access control
