enthaltenJava remains one of the top four popular programming languages (TIOBE Index), and entry-level Java developers earn a good salary from the start, USD 86,000 annually on average!
Whether you're just starting your programming career or looking to add Java to your developer skillset, this beginner-friendly program builds the foundational skills you need to pursue a career in software development. As a vendor-neutral specialization designed and delivered by experts, it introduces you to modern Java programming techniques and gives you the opportunity to build real-world projects you can showcase to prospective employers.
Through hands-on labs, you’ll gain practical experience with Java fundamentals, including object-oriented programming (OOP), file handling, collections, and exception management. You'll also learn to write, debug, and structure code in a way that is maintainable and aligned with industry standards. The program then concludes with a project-based course that reinforces your skills through a professional-level build experience, where you’ll develop a shareable functional console-based Java application.
The program is designed for beginners; no prior programming experience or college degree is required. However, it’s also a great fit for developers looking to reskill or upskill in Java.
If you’re keen to build in-demand Java skills that provide a solid foundation for you to advance to more complex back-end, mobile, or cloud development roles, enroll today.
Praktisches Lernprojekt
Throughout this specialization, you’ll complete multiple hands-on projects that mirror real-world Java development tasks.
Your prototype projects include:
Creating a console-based grocery billing system using arrays, loops, conditionals, and string manipulation.
Building a mood-tracking app that applies object-oriented programming, Java Collections, file handling, and exception control.
Your final graded project! Designing and implementing a console-based PetCare Scheduler app using Java classes, ArrayLists or HashMaps, file I/O, and date/time APIs. You’ll apply OOP, data management, error handling, and reporting techniques to create a functional, portfolio-ready application.
Please note: You'll complete your projects in a Cloud-based IDE, which will allow you to practice and showcase your foundational Java development skills.
