Java as a Second Language
This specialization is meant to be an introduction to Java as a second language. You may be familiar with any computer programming language, shell scripting, or knowledge of older Java versions, JavaScript, etc. This specialization will help you move to the Java language and will cover all the features and functions you need to create great Java web and mobile applications. You will learn Java object orientation and see the parallels with other programming languages.

Reviewed Jan 1, 2021Course: Introduction to Java as a Second LanguageI do not think that the topics cover on this first part of the course is the ideal. I would prefer to start to translate the basics as the printf, scanf, if statments, switch, do, while, etc. And then add the specifict stuff java related and the non as basic topics.

Reviewed Jun 10, 2025Course: Introduction to Java as a Second LanguageAssuming that this is a course for someone who wants to learn Java as a second programming language, the basics are far too exhaustive. If you already know classes and functions from another programming language, the explanations and labs are too simple and kind of annoying!
