Free java Tutorials for Beginners

Hi, everybody. This is your tutor for this course “Java Tutorial for Beginners”. The aim of this course is to develop the concept of Java Programming Language to solve real life problems. Without wasting more time let us look at a quick glance to the outcomes after you complete this course successfully. In this course we will aim to learn these topics in full details so that your Java Programming Skills will be enhanced.Java is a must if you want to do one of the following tasks in normal, however there is a variety of possibilities where you can use your skills after learning java programming language. Some of these includes:

• Designing or building applications for Android systems.
• Designing web applications which are dynamic to be used on those servers which use Java enterprise edition.
• Designing applets which can be run or delivered via web-browsers.

 

After finishing this course, you will be able  to do following things:

1. You will learn to download and install the Java Development Kit on your system depending upon whether it is Windows or MAC.
2. You will also learn about “Eclipse” provided by the Eclipse foundation which is a free cross platform IDE among many others IDE required for java programmers.
3. You will also learn about data types, keywords and good-practices involved in programming which sums up the basic of every programming languages along with Java.
4. You will know about the specialties of object oriented programming language like Java and be able to use terms like inheritance, encapsulation and polymorphism to use the idea for better programming.
5. And last but not the least you will get yourself started with the basics ending in the skills that can help you to solve real life problems and design or build several desktop, mobile and web-applications.

And it is obviously for those students who find themselves hard getting into the concept of Java in schools and colleges.

So, without wasting more time lets get ourselves ready for this course.

 

IS THIS THE RIGHT COURSE FOR YOU

Although the course is already named as“Java Tutorial for Beginners” and is intended for  those people who want to learn from the basics of Java programming, some of you might be still thinking if this is the appropriate course for you or not.

Here are few Questions you should be sure off before starting this course. Go through it thoroughly  and you will find the answer whether this course is really for you or not.

 

What “JAVA” is?

Before getting into the questions like “Whether this course is right for me or not” , you should first be sure of the type of software you are intending to program or develop. Java can be used to program various applications for Blackberry and Android phones as well as for various tablets. Java is also used to create web-based dynamic applications that is possible with the help of programming modules such as java server pages also known as servlets. Along with all these, java is used to program or develop variety of other applications we will discuss later on.

 

What “JAVA” is not?

Java is not JavaScript and you should not be confused with the term Java and JavaScript from now on. Unlike Java, JavaScript is a Server-side Programming or more correctly server side scripting language which is used to create dynamic applications and is incorporated within the web-browsers itself, normally in the modern browsers. It runs on client-side however, meaning the effect is seen on user’s browsers.The task of executing the code is done by the browser itself. It is true that both share the word called “Java” but you should know that these two languages are very different from each other.They however have some similarities in their syntax and appearance but still their working style internally and their uses are totally different. So if you are aiming or searching courses for developing web pages in which the browsers execute your code, then JavaScript is the language you are looking for.

You should know that Java is not used to develop applications for I-phones and I-pad i.e. native IOs applications. Applications for IOs are developed using Objective C programming language using the IDE called the X-code. Also Java is not used to program applications for the phones which run windows OS or simply Windows phone. Applications for Windows-phone are developed or programmed using either VB.net, C sharp (C#) or Visual studio environment.

Do not develop the misconcept that java is the easiest programming language in the world. To be frank, it is not because it is one of the compiled language and it has specific and very strict data-typing rules of its own. Since Java is totally Object-oriented programming language, you should learn or know about the concepts involved with “Object-Oriented Programming”. However this is the main aim of this course as well so you need not worry too much if you are foreign to these terms.

It is true that java is not the easiest programming language in the world but bear in mind that it is also true that it is not the hardest programming language in the world. It is among those languages which has very consistent rules and regulations and once you grab the concept of this language and start thinking in term of this language you are able to extend your abilities very quickly being capable of using many tools.

So who is the right person or audience for this course?

The truth about this course is that it is designed for everybody who want to learn the Java programming language and want to develop applications or software using this language. It is also for the students who are struggling with the concepts of this programming in their colleges or schools.But however it is specifically intended to those who have basic knowledge of some programming language and understands the basic vocabulary of programming. Software developers or programmers have their own sets of vocabulary comprising of programming terms they all understand. However the meanings of these terms too vary from language to language but it doesn't create larger problems since programmers can communicate and discuss wit each other easily.

This course is designed for anybody who want to build software using java Programming language. But specifically this course is designed for those who already have basic programming vocabulary. Software developers as with many trades have their own unique vocabulary incorporating terms that they all understand. Many of these terms have different meanings from one programming language to another but programmers can always talk with each other.

Let us see whether you are familiar with these terms or not. Here is a quick test:

 ARE YOU FAMILIAR WITH THESR TERMS. CAN YOU ANSWER THEM?

Do not think that I m just starting “ Java” and how come before that I can answers these questions. You shouldn't answer these questions according to the relations with Java, Jus try to answer them in any term, in form of any programming language.

• Tell something about statements?
• Tell something about variables?
• Tell something about  functions?
• Tell something about conditions?

If the above questions and the terms included in these questions seems odd to you and you have never used them before, I suggest you to learn the course  “Pre-requisites for programming” first but if you insist to move on and learn these terms with practice you can still be in but it will take little time before you become able to know these terms completely. This course “Pre-requisites for programming” explains you the above terms and also help you to be familiar with their uses in programming language including Java as well. Then after you will be totally fit for this course.

If you have already used these terms and are familiar with them and if you have used or studied any programming language before, you will realize that some programming languages help you more then other programming languages. Programming language like C, C++, C#, JavaScript and even PHP share similar syntax and appearance with Java. The knowledge of these languages if you have any will prove to be very helpful to recognize Java.

Also if you are from C or C++ background you will see that java is like C. This is true because Java is a C-style language meaning the basic syntax and appearance of both languages and even some more languages are same.

However if you have done programming but not the ones mentioned above like Vb.net, visual basic,Cold fusion or some assembly language then there will be no problem because you just need the concept of the above mentioned terms.Rest is all upon this course which will teach you the Java syntax, using Java syntax, java variables, functions, statements, looping, conditional logics and a lot.

If you have done some programming and you are not new to the terms of the above questions, you should be perfectly fit for this course.
