About this Course
We love Programming. Our aim with this course is to create a love for Programming.
Java is one of the most popular programming languages. Java offers both object oriented and functional programming features.
We take an hands-on approach using a combination of JShell(An awesome new feature in Java 9) and Eclipse as an IDE to illustrate more than 200 Java Coding Exercises, Puzzles and Code Examples.
In more than 250 Steps, we explore the most important Java Programming Language Features

Introduction to Exception Handling - Your Thought Process during Exception Handling. try, catch and finally. Exception Hierarchy - Checked Exceptions vs Unchecked Exceptions. Throwing an Exception. Creating and Throwing a Custom Exception - CurrenciesDoNotMatchException. Try with Resources - New Feature in Java 7.
List files and folders in Directory with Files list method, File walk method and find methods. Read and write from a File.
Basic knowledge
Connectivity to Internet to download Java 9 and Eclipse.
We will help you install Eclipse and Java 9
Oracle Solaris or 64 bit Microsoft Windows or Linux or macOS
Java 9 does NOT work on 32 bit Microsoft Windows! You would need a 64 bit Microsoft Windows if you would want to use Windows.
