By the end of the course, you will create your own game, understand how and when to apply foundational Java concepts, and will gain a deeper understanding of the tools and logic that professional Java developers use everyday. You will also have the Java programming foundations you need to take our Android Developer Nanodegree program.
Java is the one of the most popular programming languages in the world today. It works on any platform, and is the core language used in developing Android apps. It’s a great first language for any aspiring programmer, so whether you want to program Android apps, web apps, or simply learn the foundational skills that all programmers use, this course is a great place to start!

What You Will Learn

LESSON 1
The World of Objects

  • Learn how to create classes and objects and use them in programs
  • Discover the purpose of constructors fields and methods
  • Learn how to use access modifiers to set your classes to public or private

LESSON 2
User Interaction

  • Learn how to accept user input at runtime
  • Learn how to pass user input to be stored for access later
  • Build a program that a user can interact with

LESSON 3
Inheritance

  • Understand the core OOP concepts of encapsulation polymorphism and inheritance
  • Learn how to use interfaces to extend and add features to classes
  • Experiment with overriding methods and the super keyword to access methods

LESSON 4
Collections

  • Learn about Collection types: list set queue stack and map
  • Understand how the Collection interface is implemented

Prerequisites and Requirements
You should be familiar with Java syntax, as well as basic Java programming concepts like variables, data types, functions and loops. You also should have an IDE (Integrated Development Environment) installed on your machine that supports programming in Java, such as IntelliJ or Android Studio. If you lack this background, please take our free Java Programming Basics course prior to enrolling in this course.

Organizing Code in a Disorganized World. This course covers methods for organizing your code, both conceptually and literally. You’ll learn the importance of separating concerns when writing JavaScript, gaining hands-on experience along the way. Separating concerns can be done with or without an organizational library or framework. We’ll learn how to separate concerns without one, and then we’ll explore an organizational library together. You’ll also learn strategies for exploring other libraries and frameworks on your own.

Introduction to Genetics and Evolution (Coursera)

Sci: Biology & Life Sciences

Introduction to Genetics and Evolution is a college-level class being offered simultaneously to new students at Duke University. The course gives interested people a very basic overview of some principles behind these very fundamental areas of biology. We often hear about new "genome sequences," commercial kits that can tell you about your ancestry (including pre-human) from your DNA or disease predispositions, debates about the truth of evolution, why animals behave the way they do, and how people found "genetic evidence for natural selection." This course provides the basic biology you need to understand all of these issues better, tries to clarify some misconceptions, and tries to prepare students for future, more advanced coursework in Biology (and especially evolutionary genetics). No prior coursework is assumed.
