Course Summary

Home > Courses >Back-End Development Training >Java >Introduction to Java for Procedural Programmers

The Introduction to Java for Procedural Programmers training course provides students with the training needed to successfully migrate to the Object-Oriented (OO) programming paradigm. In addition to covering everything in the Introduction to Core Java training, this course spends more time examining and understanding key OO concepts that many procedural programmers struggle with as they transition to the Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) paradigm.

The Introduction to Java for Procedural Programmers training course begins with an in-depth look into understanding the Java programming language. Next, the course introduces OO programming in Java and concludes with a look into using threading with java.lang Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) and unit testing.

Purpose
Learn about key object-oriented (OO) concepts for successful migration to the Java platform.
Audience
