Meet the growing demand for Java developers

Java, one of the easiest object-oriented programming languages to learn and use, has been the dominant language for decades. No longer just a web development language, it’s now used in general-purpose programming. Developers use this platform-independent, open-source programming language for web, mobile, and server-side applications development.

The growth of Android OS, wearables, and appliances in the Internet of Everything (IoE) has contributed to the soaring popularity of Java and it's the language of choice for backend development for high-performance concurrent applications. It also has a simplicity; it doesn’t use the complicated concepts of pointers and thereby avoids the challenges of dealing with memory leaks.

In this 8-unit Java Programming specialization, you can start as a novice and, in just four to six months of hands-on practice, master the fundamentals, and start articulating the intricacies of efficient algorithms using Java. Java is ubiquitous. Students of Java find a wide range of community support while they develop this skill.

Giving you a competitive edge

1. Java Programming I
   A mind-expanding, new way of thinking for novices
2. Java Programmings II
   Gain a strong understanding of object-oriented programming (OOP) concepts that provide the structure for most Java applications and the basis of the language itself.
3. Data Structures and Algorithms using Java
   Deeper insights into Java data structures and algorithms. You'll practice the core facilities of Java, Java API, create your own libraries, and gain the ability to analyze algorithms that are most important to professional programmers. Note: 70% of interview questions for developers are focused on this one topic.
