Java: Object Oriented Programming

Even if you ve already started writing code in Java, it takes another layer of know–how to perform object–oriented programming. This course, taught by accomplished software engineer June Clarke, known for her fun style and jargon–light delivery, advances your Java skills to the next level by leading you through concepts such as class, object, inheritance, encapsulation, polymorphism, and more. Each lesson focuses on how these concepts relate to the real world, while simultaneously providing an introduction to the syntax of the Java programming language. You ll build increasingly complex and efficient web projects, and you ll learn all about retrieving and updating variables with getters and setters. You ll draw with the Unified Modeling Language and create a UML diagram. By completing this course you will be equipped to follow the object–oriented paradigm and have upped your Java game considerably.
