Beginners Java Programming

Video description

In this video training course on Programming with Java for Beginners, expert author and professor Mike McMillan starts you along the path to enlightenment with Java, by introducing you to the basic concepts, tools and functions that you will need to build fully functional programs with the popular programming language, Java.
Starting with the download and installation of the JDK (Java Development Kit), this video tutorial will teach you the different typs of variables (bool, int, etc), what an operator is and how to use it (+,-,%,etc). You will learn about object-oriented programming, and creating classes and objects. You will control your programs with different types of control loops such as while and for, as well as making decisions with if-else statements. Each chapter is capped of with exercises so you can put in to practical use, what you learn in each section.
By the completion of this instructional video course, you will have the base knowledge that you need to create functional and useful Java programs. This video tutorial comes complete with working files and code samples, so you can work alongside the author as he teaches you each concept.
