A Comprehensive Guide To Jvm Languages: 2 In 1

Your one-stop guide to learn JVM languages - Java, Scala, Clojure, Kotlin & Groovy

What you'll learn

Understand the popular JVM languages and the Java Class Library

Get to know about various programming paradigms such as imperative, object-oriented, and functional

Work with common JVM tools such as Eclipse IDE and Gradle

Explore frameworks such as Vert.x, Akka and JavaFX

Boost your knowledge about dialects of other well-known programming languages that run on the JVM, including JavaScript, Python, and Ruby

Requirements

Basic practical knowledge of a modern programming language that supports object-oriented programming (JavaScript, Python, C#, VB .NET, and C++) is assumed.

Description

JVM is responsible for interpreting Java bytecode and translating it into actions. In the beginning, Java was the only programming language used for the JVM. But the increasing complexity of the language and the remarkable performance of the JVM created an opening for a new generation of programming languages. This Learning Path is a step-by-step guide which will walk you through the modern programming language: JVM. The course will start by giving you a basic understanding of JVM and its features, which are common to the JVM languages, helping you get abreast of its concepts. It will then dive into explaining languages such as Clojure, Kotlin, and Groovy and will show how to work with each language, their features, use cases, and pros and cons. By writing example projects in those languages and focusing on each language’s strong points, it will help you find the programming language that is most appropriate for your particular needs.By the end of the course, you will have written multiple programs that run on the JVM and will know the differences between both languages. Also you'll be able to Work with various programming paradigms and gain knowledge about imperative, object-oriented, and functional programming Contents and OverviewThis training program includes 2 complete courses, carefully chosen to give you the most comprehensive training possible.The first course, Introduction to JVM Languages - JVM, Java, Scala begin with a general introduction to the JVM and its features, which are common to the JVM languages, helping you get abreast of its concepts. It then dives into explaining languages such as Java and Scala and shows you how to work with each language, their features, use cases, and pros and cons. By writing example projects in these languages and focusing on each language’s strong points, it will help you find the programming language that is most appropriate for your particular needs. The Second course, Introduction to JVM Languages – Clojure, Kotlin, and Groovy starts with a general introduction of the JVM and its features, which are common to the JVM languages, helping you get abreast with its concepts. It will then dive into explaining languages such as Clojure, Kotlin, and Groovy and will show how to work with each language, their features, use cases, and pros and cons. By writing example projects in those languages and focusing on each language’s strong points, it will help you find the programming language that is most appropriate for your particular needs.
