Professional Java Developer Career Starter: Java Foundations

Note: This course is intended for absolute beginners to programming OR those who don’t mind a slower pace to learning Java. If you’re looking for a faster–paced course, this may not be for you (though you can play back at 2x speed & may still find great things to learn). Also, even for those who already know some basic Java, you could skip over the parts you already know and focus on those you may not, like Regex, Streams/Lambdas API, Optionals, Date/Time, SQL/Database/JDBC sections that even seasoned Java developers may not know as well as they should. Many of my sections on these APIs are as long or longer than MANY stand–alone courses dedicated to just one of these topics – for similar prices. Check out my preview videos from each of those sections to gauge how deep I go into each topic.

If you’re interested in starting a new career as a professional software developer, learn the fundamentals from an instructor who has interviewed, hired, managed & mentored numerous developers over the years. This course will teach you all the REAL Java skills you need to land your first job and excel. It focuses on skills you’re actually likely to use most often and tries to de–emphasize more academic knowledge.   The instructor has taken his experiences and observations of both successful and unsuccessful developer candidates to create a course that tries to ensure success in landing highly–coveted developer jobs.
