Overview
“Java Fundamentals” is a compact live course in the field of Programming Languages. It centres on Syntax, data types & control structures, Classes, objects & inheritance and Interfaces & packages – explained with realistic examples and deepened in exercises you can transfer straight to your daily work.
Mastering a programming language means more than knowing its syntax: it is about idiomatic code, sensible structure, tests, error handling and working with the ecosystem. Our courses move developers forward in a single day, from the first program to advanced techniques such as concurrency, memory management or architectural patterns. You code yourself in a provided development environment, solve realistic tasks and learn the conventions that keep code readable and maintainable in teams. The course takes place online or on site.
The course is delivered live – either online in a virtual classroom or on-site in our training rooms in Munich, Salzburg, Berlin, Augsburg, Hanover, Bremen, Stuttgart and Kaiserslautern. We can also run it exclusively for your team.
