Course Description
Java is one of the most popular programming languages used in professional application development. As such, there is an extensive job market available to those who master its syntax. However, mastering a language as complex and vast as Java requires a developer to start with a solid programming foundation. This class provides that foundation. Those who are looking to start a career in software development, or developers who are looking to increase their marketability by learning the nuts and bolts of Java, will benefit from taking this course. To start the student on the “right track,” the lectures and labs go beyond basic syntax by including best practices and object oriented programming idioms. In addition, the topics covered help prepare students for the Oracle Certified Associate, Java Programmer SE 8 exam (a certification which demonstrates to potential employers a fundamental level of proficiency with the language). However, do note that this course is just as appropriate for someone who is not interested in taking the exam; if you want to learn Java, this is the course for you!

I've been a Java developer for a long time. I just need to know more about the specific Java 8 stuff, which I thought this course would address. I didn't know it would teach all the Java basics as well, which I didn't need. But the teacher is really good and talks about a lot of details, so I learned a few new "special circumstances things" even when those belong to the "basics". And the tests are good.

It's good but it's a little bit lacking for my Java Certification Exam. Maybe it could've focused more on the edge cases per section.

It was a really good course, so specific. I thing is a good idea just give us the principal knowelges for the OCA certification and then follow his suggestions to finish learning all the things that we need to have for the OCA certified. I would like to add that at this point I will barely see the topics that are required for the certified OCA.

It is what I expected and it clarified some of my confusion as I review my book for OCA Preparation

This is a great course to take before starting any other and a great prep for the OCA exam. With fun labs so you can see how to use what you just learnt in your code as well as very thorough explanations for every thing, it's a really great course

Great, thorough, yet succinct descriptions and pointers on key Java concepts to know to become a percipient Java programmer and/or prepare for the Oracle Certified Associate exam.

Good foundation on Java.
By Bruno Alessi on 10/25/2020
The course is maybe not the best option for me because I already have good experience with Java. What I want is to be acquainted with what Java 8 has to offer, since I'm a bit stuck and too confortable with the older versions for my own good... Anyway, I liked a lot the explanations involving stack and heap, for this is not something you see frequently in the wild, in the courses or in the books.
The use of (non-static) class-level blocks is also one thing that is uncommon, at least in the code I have to deal with in all those years.
So, there are bits of new information here and there for me too and for that reason, it is well worth to continue.
