Introduction

Java is one of the most widely used programming languages for building scalable, high-performance applications. From enterprise software and mobile applications to cloud-based solutions and microservices, Java’s versatility makes it a top choice for developers worldwide.

This comprehensive training is designed to take participants from the fundamentals of Java programming to advanced concepts, including object-oriented programming (OOP), multi-threading, database connectivity, and frameworks such as Spring and Hibernate. With a hands-on approach, learners will gain practical experience in writing efficient, maintainable, and scalable Java applications.

By the end of this course, participants will be well-equipped to develop complex Java applications, understand best coding practices, and apply their skills to real-world projects.

Prerequisites

• No prior programming experience is required for beginners.
• Basic knowledge of any programming language is beneficial but not mandatory.
• Familiarity with fundamental computing concepts such as variables, loops, and functions is helpful.
• A computer with Java Development Kit (JDK) installed for hands-on practice.
