Introduction
This tutorial series is for software developers who are new to Java™ technology and want to become productive Java programmers. Work through the series, including videos, to get up and running with object-oriented programming (OOP) and real-world application development using the Java language and platform.
Begin with an overview of the Java platform and language. Then, set up a development environment and learn about its components. From there, learn basic Java syntax hands-on. Continuing past the fundamentals, the series teaches you more-advanced Java language features, including lambdas, regular expressions, generics, I/O, streams, and serialization.
Step-by-step instructions and video demos help you create and build on a simple Java object, developing it into a full application.
Skills you'll gain
- Gain an understanding of the basics of OOP on the Java platform
- Have a fully functional Java development environment that uses the Eclipse IDE
- Become familiar with Java syntax and essential libraries
- Be ready to learn more-complex programming Java techniques
- Know where to find curated resources to bolster your Java programming knowledge
System requirements
- A system supporting Java SE 11 with at least 4GB of memory. Java 11 is supported on Linux®, Windows®, AIX®, and macOS®
- At least 400MB of disk space to install the software components and examples
You also need to install and set up a development environment consisting of JDK 11 from AdoptOpenJDK and the Eclipse IDE. Follow the download and installation instructions provided in the series.
