A New Way to Learn Java SE

Oracle University now offers you a chance to take a Java SE Programming I MOOC - a flexible way to learn the foundations of this programming language.

Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) are gaining popularity and for good reason. They are a convenient and more affordable way to learn, plus MOOCs give you the ability to share information with people from all over the world.

A Harvard Business Review survey reports that MOOCs have a real impact:

“In our survey, the overwhelming majority of people who complete MOOCs report career or educational benefits, and a substantial proportion report tangible benefits such as getting a new job, starting a business, or completing prerequisites for an academic program.”

Infopro Learning lists several advantages of MOOCs, including:

  • Access to courses delivered by leading subject matter experts
  • Interaction with a vast and diverse audience across the globe
  • Learner performance monitoring using data captured at the beginning of courses
  • World-wide exposure, thus improving pedagogical techniques and knowledge sharing
  • Access to a blended learning program: get more information than what's provided in class

 

Learn Java Fundamentals in Five Weeks

The Java SE Programming I MOOC is a five-week entry-level course that's focused and interactive. It's designed for programmers who are new to Java and need to learn its concepts, language constructs, and data types. New programmers can apply these language skills to develop programs using one of the latest major versions of the JDK, Java 11.

Participate in hands-on labs during the course to practice new skills.

Learn to:

  • Write Java code that uses variables, arrays, conditional, and loop constructs to achieve program objectives
  • Identify modular programming principles
  • Access and create static fields and methods
  • Encapsulate a class using access modifiers and overloaded constructors
  • Manipulate numeric, text, and string data using appropriate Java operators
  • Set environment variables to allow the Java compiler and runtime executables to function 
  • Prepare for a Java Certification exam
