Introduction to Java and Object-Oriented Programming

About this course

This course provides an introduction to the Java language and object-oriented programming, including an overview of Java syntax and how it differs from a language like Python. Students will learn how to write custom Java classes and methods, and how to test their code using unit testing and test-driven development. Topics include basic data structures like Arrays and ArrayLists and overloading methods.

What you will learn

• Identify core aspects of object-oriented programming and features of the Java language.
• Use Eclipse for writing and running Java code.
• Develop programs that use Java collections and apply core object-oriented programming concepts using classes, polymorphism, and method overloading.
• Test code by applying principles of test-driven development using Java's unit testing framework.
