Core Java LiveLessons

Core Java® has long been recognized as the leading, no-nonsense tutorial and reference book for experienced programmers who want to write robust Java code for real-world applications.

The first two lessons quickly review the history of Java and show you step by step how to install the software development environment. In lesson 3, you will learn how to do in Java what you already know in another programming language: write branches and loops and work with numbers, strings, and arrays.

Lesson 4 covers object-oriented programming. Java is thoroughly object-oriented, and the lesson shows you how to use built-in classes and how to build your own. Lessons 5 and 6 cover inheritance and interfaces, as well as lambda expressions, a powerful new feature of Java SE8.

Lesson 7 shows you what to do when your programs do the wrong thing. The lesson covers exception handling, logging, and debugging. In lesson 8, you will learn how to write generic code that works for many different data types. Lesson 9 puts those skills to work, when we examine the multitude of Java collections that allow you to organize your data in many ways.

The final three lessons introduce the fundamentals of user interface programming in Java.

When you have completed this course, you will know enough Java to put it to work anywhere Java is used: in backend servers, desktops, mobile devices, and embedded systems.

Experience with programming in another language such as: C++, JavaScript, Python, etc.
