Course Overview
Covers variables, operators, conditional statements like loops and methods
This course is intended for all students who are new in programming and want to learn a programming language from the scratch. No prior programming skills are needed to participate within the course. It is also interesting for non-programmers who want to get the first insights in what developers actually do in their daily work.
The course covers the basic concepts of variables, value assignments to variables, operators on variables and conditional statements like the if-statement or the while-loop. It does not cover object-oriented programming.
The course utilizes a new approach to learn the basic concepts of programming utilizing the Java language by using the shell which is included since Java 9 within the Java installation package which is called JShell. So, the as minimum Java 9 is needed for practical examples within the course but any other higher version of the Java Developer Kit (JDK) which is downable for free is also suitable.
The shell enables you to run small programs while you type. Each and every line of the program which is typed in is immediately executed. This release you from the burden to learn the write-compile-run loop at the beginning and gives you a quick start. Of course for more complex development task like object oriented programming this is needed and also the learning of an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) should be done. But these are more complex lectures which are excluded from the course by using the included shell JShell to give you a jump start.

Worth its money and excellent starting point into JAVA Programming. First of all, yes i finished the complete course. This course is worth its money and it will guide you through the first steps to learn Java in an easy manner. The usage of FLOW-CHARTs is unique and very helpfull to understand flow controls in programming. Furthermore JSHELL is best for starting out to understand procedural commands. In the Bonus Chapter the Author "Christoph TORNAU" gives you an idea what OOP means. I like listening to his voice and it is easy to follow. My main complainement with this course is that the author is not a native english speaker. His english is understandable but certainly often not in a "natural manner". This is the reason why i gave him only 4 of 5 points. As i am a compatriot and german native speaker i already bought ALL of his other courses and happy and full of expectations to start with his course about JAVA EE.

Very basic course for beginners. It helped me to focus on the basics of java without dealing with the complexity of running java in IDEs. Good start but could be better by adding next steps

This course presents good introductions to Java basic and JShell.
