Fundamentals of Java Programming (Coursera)

In the first module, Java Fundamentals, you'll be introduced to Java programming and its integral components such as the Java Virtual Machine (JVM), the Java Runtime Environment (JRE), and the Java class library. This module also provides an understanding of basic programming constructs and a hands-on experience with Java development tools.
Progressing to the second module, Core Java, you'll delve into the fundamental elements of the language. This segment emphasizes key concepts like Java Syntax, Variables, Methods, Operators, and Control Statements, supported by numerous practical assessments to refine your problem-solving skills.
Finally, in the third module, OOPS and other essential concepts, advanced aspects of Java programming are unfolded. Here, you'll learn about advanced Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) principles and critical exception handling techniques that enhance code reliability and robustness.
By the end of this course, you'll have a robust understanding of Java programming, with the ability to write efficient Java code and the readiness to delve into more advanced Java topics.
This course is part of the Java FullStack Developer Specialization.

What you'll learn

• Master the core components of Java programming such as syntax, variables, methods, control statements, and understand JVM, JRE, and JDK.
• Develop proficiency in writing Java code with an understanding of operators, loops, conditionals, & arrays, enabling creation of robust application.
• Grasp advanced object-oriented programming concepts like inheritance, polymorphism, and encapsulation to develop efficient and reusable Java code.
• Enhance your coding by mastering advanced exception-handling techniques, creating custom exceptions, and managing multiple exceptions in Java.
