Java Programming 1: Introduction to Java and the Eclipse Development Environment
In this course, you'll learn the fundamental concepts and syntax of the Java Programming language. Throughout this course, you will learn by building examples using the Eclipse Java Development Environment which is supplied as a Learning Sandbox. Completion of this course will give you a basic understanding of Object Oriented techniques in Java as well as using the Eclipse IDE.
Skills learned: Creating Java programs that leverage Object Oriented concepts such as Inheritance, Polymorphism, and encapsulation. Creating and executing Java programs in Eclipse. Understanding and use of Classes, Methods, Fields, Objects, and Interfaces. Using the Java API.
Upon completion of the course, you will earn 4 CEUs (Continuing Education Units) and a CEU letter from the University of Illinois Office of Continuing Education. This course counts toward the Java Programming Certificate Series.
From beginning to end, you'll will learn by doing your own Java projects, within our Eclipse Learning Sandbox we affectionately call "Ellipse". These projects will add to the student's portfolio and provide needed experience. Besides a browser and internet connection, all software is provided online by the O'Reilly School of Technology.
Prerequisite: Some programming experience. If you are a beginner we recommend either Introduction to Object Oriented Programming or Javascript 1 as barebones introductions to programming.
