About this course
If you want to learn computer programming but don't have any prior experience, you'll enjoy a tour of Java, one of the most widely-used computer languages in the world. It's a breeze to learn in a friendly and supportive environment. Start with the basics of programming and go on to write your own programs and integrate input and output, calculations, decision making, and loops. Build your knowledge and confidence with easy-to-understand examples and plenty of skill-building exercises. So whether you just want to try Java out to see if you like it or plan on doing more, this is a great place to start!
We'll use the latest release of Java from Oracle, the company that maintains and supports the language. We'll also use BlueJ, a graphical development environment designed especially for students. Both are free open-source products, and your instructor will give you the proper instructions to download them. By the time we're done, you'll be comfortable with Java programming and ready for more!
