When will I have access to the lectures and assignments?

To access the course materials, assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid. The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.

What will I get if I subscribe to this Specialization?

When you enroll in the course, you get access to all of the courses in the Specialization, and you earn a certificate when you complete the work. Your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile.

Is financial aid available?

Yes. In select learning programs, you can apply for financial aid or a scholarship if you can’t afford the enrollment fee. If fin aid or scholarship is available for your learning program selection, you’ll find a link to apply on the description page.

By the end of this course, learners will be able to write, debug, and structure Java programs using core syntax, control flow, object-oriented principles, GUI components, and modern Java language features. They will confidently apply Java concepts to build logical programs, reusable methods, interactive applications, and small real-world projects.

This course is designed to take beginners from zero Java knowledge to a strong foundational and practical understanding of the language. Learners start by setting up the Java development environment and writing their first programs, then progressively move through input handling, operators, conditions, loops, and methods. The course places special emphasis on object-oriented programming concepts such as method overloading, overriding, abstraction, and interfaces, reinforced through hands-on development using NetBeans and Java forms. What makes this course unique is its balanced integration of core Java fundamentals, GUI-based application development, and modern Java features introduced in Java 13, such as text blocks, enhanced switch expressions, and new String methods. Through structured lessons, practice quizzes, and graded assessments, learners gain both conceptual clarity and practical skills, preparing them for further Java specialization or real-world application development.

Module details

This module introduces learners to Java programming fundamentals by guiding them through Java installation, environment setup, and writing their first executable programs. Learners gain hands-on experience compiling and running Java applications, handling user input, and applying operators while understanding execution flow and operator precedence. The module establishes a strong foundation for all subsequent Java development concepts.
