Creating Simple Object-Oriented Programs Using Java
Key Takeaways:- Learn the basic syntax of Java
- Understand object-oriented programming principles through hands-on coding.
- Build console programs that harness core Java concepts.
Description
Java remains one of the most important languages for building robust applications, yet many learners find object-oriented programming (OOP) concepts notoriously difficult to grasp. This hands-on code-along session is designed to change that by breaking down fundamental Java concepts and core Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) ideas into clear, simple steps.
Participants will explore the essentials of Java programming, including variables, control flow, classes, objects, attributes, and methods. Along the way, foundational Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) principles, such as encapsulation and abstraction, will be introduced and explained through practical, relatable examples, without delving into complex application building.
The session focuses solely on developing a strong, intuitive understanding of how Java’s fundamental structures interconnect. By the end, attendees will have written multiple small, focused Java programs and developed the confidence to tackle more advanced Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) topics with ease. No prior Java experience required, just curiosity and a desire to finally make sense of object-oriented programming.
