Java for Absolute Beginners: Learn Java from zero!

Description

If you want to learn to program in Java in far less time than you previously thought possible then read on.

The world today is a moving-fast place. Most of us have very little spare time. Once we have worked (or studied), slept, spent some time with friends and family there is little time left to think about a career.

In order to become a software developer you need programming skills. But how can you get those skills in the minimum amount of time and still have a life along the way?

This course was designed to teach you the essential Java programming skills you need to get your first programming job, or perhaps a promotion to a more senior position. And to do it in the shortest possible amount of time.

The course is aimed at complete beginners.
I assume you have never programmed before in this course and start from scratch and show you step by step how to download and install the tools, through to writing your first programs, and from there we move to more and more of parts of the Java language that you need to understand.

If you are already a programmer, you will still find value in this course, because It's very common for programmers to want to learn a second or third programming language, and doing so makes you more valuable and opens up career opportunities.

As this is a crash course you can get skilled in Java, fast.

What version of Java will I learn?

All videos in the course have been recorded using the very latest version: Java 17. It's recommended that you follow along with that version, but if you have an older version most of the course should work just fine.

Java 17 is the version you will want to learn because Oracle have designated it as the LTS version of Java - meaning they will support it for many years to come. The reason they do this is so large companies can have a particular version of Java employed on the clients sites for years without worrying about new versions of Java crashing previously working programs.

Java 17 will get updated regularly over this time, but it will remain version 17. Oracle also have new Java versions coming out six monthly, but as soon as a new version is released, the previous version is no longer supported.

As such you should learn Java 17 which gives you the most useful skills for your future employer.
