Course overview

Learn the fundamentals of Java programming and improve your test automation processes.

Course description

Discover programming basics, from conditional statements to data types in Java

Developers with knowledge of Java, one of the most popular programming languages, are highly sought-after across almost all industries, allowing for wide-ranging career opportunities.

On this three-week course, you’ll get to grips with Java basics. You’ll be introduced to key programming terminology and operations, learning how to apply these skills to increasingly complex projects.

Improve your knowledge of object oriented programming (OOP) languages

An understanding of OOP languages is vital for aspiring programmers. By mastering one OOP language, you can easily transfer your skills to develop your knowledge of other similar languages.

You’ll explore the basics of OOP languages, learning about key concepts including classes and objects and data encapsulation, as well as specific programming methods in Java.

Through hands-on exercises, you’ll begin to understand the real-world applications of Java within more complex projects.

Learn to program in an integrated development environment (IDE)

An IDE is a useful piece of software that combines a range of developer tools into one interface, simplifying your application building processes.

You’ll be guided through writing your first Java program within the Eclipse IDE, gaining transferable skills to use across other IDEs and programming languages in future projects.

Explore programming concepts including inheritance, abstraction, and polymorphism

Having covered classes and objects, you’ll go on to examine the other major concepts that define OOP processes. You’ll then delve into more complex operations including programming with arrays and lists in Java.

By the end of this course, you’ll understand the concepts, functions, and operations of Java and be able to demonstrate its real-life applications and advantages.

What topics will you cover?

This course is designed to guide you through Selenium WebDriver and Java, right from the basics to the advanced aspects. If you do not have prior knowledge of Java, you can start with the Java modules, which comprise the first few sections of the course. You can then start exploring the Selenium WebDriver videos after you’ve develop some fluency in Java. Remember, you do not need to go through all the sections in Java before starting with Selenium WebDriver, especially if you’re already familiar with Java. The first six sections of Java should be sufficient to get you ready to learn Selenium WebDriver.

Entry requirements

This course is designed for anyone wanting to develop a foundational understanding of Java programming. It is particularly suitable for anyone considering a career in mobile and web testing.

Learning outcome

By the end of the course, you‘ll be able to...

  • Demonstrate how to write and iterate code in Java.
  • Identify the different operations and classes in Java.
  • Create objects and classes in Java.
  • Create arrays and lists in Java.
