Overview

Learn Java by doing! Codio courses are designed to engage and excite beginners. Instead of reading or watching a video, you’ll be asked to write and run code (don’t worry, we provide code snippets to help get you started!). Course materials are presented in smaller, easier-to-manage formats, making this an excellent course for learners with no prior programming experience.

This program is intended for people without programming experience who seek to develop Java programming skills and learn about the underlying computer science concepts that will allow them to pick up other programming languages quickly. In these three courses, you will cover everything from fundamentals to object-oriented design.

These topics will help prepare you to write basic programs that help them automate repetitive tasks such as modifying large files; architect larger applications into readable, maintainable, and scale-able code bases; understand the fundamentals of computer science presented in Java to ease learning of other programming languages; and develop a sense of comfort and confidence while programming.

Syllabus

Courses under this program:
Course 1: Java Programming: Basic Skills

Code and run your first Java program in minutes without installing anything!

This beginner-focused course will give you the basic skills needed to write a simple program in Java. Topics covered include variables, operators, loops, conditionals, and arrays.

Course 2: Java Programming: Intermediate Concepts

Code and run your first Java program in minutes without installing anything!

This beginner-focused course will further develop your programming skills. Topics covered include strings, user-defined methods, files, and recursion.

Course 3: Java Programming: Object-Oriented Design

Code and run your first Java program in minutes without installing anything!

This beginner-focused course will further develop your programming skills. Topics covered include creating classes, mutability, encapsulation, inheritance, and polymorphism.

Code and run your first Java program in minutes without installing anything!

This course is designed for learners with no coding experience, providing a solid foundation of not just Java, but core Computer Science topics that can be transferred to other languages. The modules in this course cover printing, operators, iteration (i.e., loops), selection (i.e., conditionals), and arrays.

To allow for a truly hands-on, self-paced learning experience, this course is video-free. Assignments contain short explanations with images and runnable code examples with suggested edits to explore code examples further, building a deeper understanding by doing. You’ll benefit from instant feedback from a variety of assessment items along the way, gently progressing from quick understanding checks (multiple choice, fill in the blank, and un-scrambling code blocks) to small, approachable coding exercises that take minutes instead of hours.
