Course details

Are you familiar with Java but want to get the most out of your Java programs? In this course, Kathryn Hodge teaches the basics of object-oriented programming in Java, so you can write code that’s secure, scalable, and easier to troubleshoot. Kathryn begins by showing how object-oriented principles are embedded into the Java language from the first code file you create. She looks at how classes, instances, and constructors embody the idea of representing real-life objects in code. Kathryn not only shows how to apply object-oriented principles in your own programs, but also explains how Java leverages these principles behind the scenes. While many resources about object-oriented programming focus on abstract examples, the goal of this course is to get away from the abstract and focus more on practical examples of these principles in Java. Along with deep dives into the source code, this course also provides several challenges and solutions to help you apply what you’ve learned.

This course is part of a Professional Certificate from JetBrains.

    I thought it started nice and simple, and out of the blue in polymorphism introduced way to complexity, hard to follow even for someone who is not exactly a beginner. It made me quit the first time i viewed, and almost makes me wanna quit the second time. Hope it gets better in the end.

    ourse Structure: Did it cover core concepts like OOP, data structures, and algorithms effectively? Hands-on Practice: Were there enough coding exercises and projects to reinforce learning? Instructor Clarity: Was the teaching method clear and engaging? Personal Understanding: Do you feel comfortable writing Java programs independently? If you feel the course provided strong foundational knowledge and practical experience, you might rate it a 4 or 5. If it lacked depth or practical application, you might rate it lower.
