Java as a Second Language 專項課程

This course is meant to be an introduction to Java as a second language, if you are familiar with any computer programming language. It could be shell scripting, knowledge of older Java versions, JavaScript, etc. This course will allow you to quickly pick up the Java programming language. You will learn Java Object Orientation, and see the parallels with other programming paradigms.

This is course 1 of a 3 course Specialization titled Java as a Second Language. It assumes that you know some programming and want to transfer that knowledge into learning Java. Lab exercises will be performed using your system and Java installation. The instructor will guide you through setting up and configuring your environment and working through the labs. Java can be installed on just about any type of computer, but the instructor will demonstrate the installation on a Windows system.

This is the second course in the Java as a Second Language Specialization. In this course, we'll take a look at Java data types, discuss what primitive data types are, and explain data classes. We'll also explore characters and strings and you'll add a new class in the lab. Next, we'll take a look at Java Control Structures. We'll explain IF statements, Loops, and arrays, and will discuss Switch Statements and the Java Programming Environment.

After that, we'll define inheritance and explore how methods and properties are inherited in Java. We'll also discuss polymorphism and overloading functions before completing a lab and quiz. The final module discusses how all of the things we've learned in the previous lessons together will come together for our final lab. The labs in this course require you to download and install the Java environment. The instructor walks you through the installation of the environment in course 1 of this Specialization. It is recommended that you take these courses in order because the knowledge is cumulative.
