About this course

Kickstart your journey into programming with this beginner friendly program from Ucanly, requiring no prior coding background. This course takes you from your first line of Java to building and deploying a full AI powered application, with mentor guidance at every step. You will learn Java fundamentals, the JVM and JDK, core object oriented programming including encapsulation, inheritance, and polymorphism, and the Collections Framework. In your minor project in week five, you will build a complete object oriented console application with file persistence, exception handling, and a JUnit 5 test suite, published to GitHub. You will then learn modern Java with lambdas and streams, JDBC and MySQL, consuming REST APIs, and building with LLM APIs, before your major project in week eight: a full Java application with a MySQL database, a live REST API integration, a working user interface, and a Generative AI powered feature, deployed under Ucanly mentor guidance.
