Description
Welcome to the Complete Java Certification Course!Are you a complete beginner aiming to learn Java from scratch?Do you want to build robust applications or confidently tackle coding interviews?Have you struggled with understanding Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) or modern Java features like Lambdas and Streams?Do you need a hands-on course that bridges theory and real-world application?If you answered yes to any of these questions, you’re in the right place. This course is carefully crafted to help you become a job-ready Java developer and succeed in certification exams.What Makes This Course Stand Out?Comprehensive & Practical: We cover everything from Java fundamentals to advanced topics like multi-threading, JDBC, and functional programming with Lambdas and Streams.Hands-On Projects: Reinforce your skills by working on practical assignments—like building a car dealership management system or processing stock market data.Beginner-Friendly: No prior programming experience? No worries! We guide you through every core concept, ensuring a strong foundation in Java.Clear Explanations & Step-by-Step Guidance: Complex topics such as concurrency or generics are broken down into easy-to-understand lessons.Job-Ready Skills: By the end of the course, you’ll master the Java Programming language, learn how to apply it effectively to solve problems and enhance your career prospects.Why This Course Is Essential:The Complete Java Certification Course is designed to help you master the most in-demand and critical components for becoming a Core Java developer. Especially if you're going for a job interview or have a Java Project that needs your best performance. This course assumes no prior Java experience so prior Java so it will take you from zero to hero!The topics covered include Object Orientation which I think is not stressed enough in other Java courses so I've got a special focus on that throughout the lectures. You'll get plenty of practice writing classes and interfaces as well as countless methods with loops and if-else statements, Exception Handling and File Processing as well as how to debug software using Eclipse. You'll also be mastering the Collections Framework and diving deep into Java Generics. You'll learn all there is to know about Multi-Threading and the JDBC API for working with a MySQL Database. There are also Practical Projects scattered throughout the course so that you can practice the concepts as you learn them. For example one of the projects is related to a car dealership management system and another assignment involves processing files with stock market data. So as you can see, I tried to keep the projects professional and industry-relevant rather than cloning a game like Flappy Bird.I want this course to be the ultimate go-to resource for anyone who is looking to become a core Java programmer so I intend on adding more content to this course based on new technologies and student feedback. The content is Java 9 ready which means I'll show you how to upgrade to the latest version of Java which is version 9 and I'll teach you how to configure Eclipse to work with both Java 8 as well as version 9.Latest updates include Lambdas and Streams with Java 9 Features.Important Announcement: This course will be constantly updated with more assignments, quizzes, and lectures to enrich your knowledge of Java.Topics covered in the Complete Java Certification Course:Java BasicsVariablesData TypesArraysControl FlowMethods and Method VisibilityObject-Oriented Programming in JavaClasses and ObjectsProgram Flow, Structure and ConstructorsApplication RuntimeJava behind-the-scenesClass InheritanceInterfacesAbstract ClassesConnecting the dotsStringsWhile, For Loops, and Nested For LoopsDebugging 101PRACTICAL PROJECT: Car DealershipBuilding and Deploying Java Programs with JAR FilesCloning Java ObjectsJava Comparable InterfaceSerialization in JavaCompile Java Programs with Command LineCreate and Deploy Executable Programs using JARsCreate JAR File with Command LineFile ProcessingFile Processing with Exception Handling and Keyboard InputBuffered File Reader with Try Catch and FinallyTry with Resources and the AutoCloseable InterfaceThe Collections FrameworkLists and Custom TypesHashSet, LinkedHashSet and HashcodeCollection MethodsComparable InterfaceHashMap, LinkedHashMap and TreeMapPRACTICAL PROJECT: Stock Market Data ProcessorJava Generics with WildcardsPRACTICAL PROJECT: Data Analytics ProcessorConcurrency in JavaThreads and Runnable InterfaceThread Safety Using SynchronizationProducer Consumer Pattern Using (1) wait() and notify() and (2) BlockingQueueThread Pools and Executor FrameworkJDBC API (Java Database Connectivity)JShell and Java 9 FeaturesLambda ExpressionsFunctional InterfacesLambdas with practice assignmentsStreams APIKey Benefits of Java MasteryVersatility & Demand: Java powers everything from enterprise applications to Android development.
