An Intro. to Coding Java with Skillstorm

Java 

1. Portability
2. Easy to use
3. Documentation
4. Powerful APIs
5. High Performance
6. Development Simplicity

Java has been around since 1995. Object-oriented programming.

Becoming a Stormer means acquiring the following abilities so that, by the end of the course, you are able to:

1. Explain basic object-oriented programming fundamentals such as encapsulation, inheritance, abstraction, and polymorphism
2. Construct basic Java application logic and code, such as variables, conditional and iterative execution, methods, loops, etc.
3. Identify how common data structures are implemented and be able to appropriately leverage the Java Collection API.
4. See Apply algorithmic logic for sorting, searching, and other foundational problems.
5. Store, manipulate, and query data in a relational database using SQL.
6. Explain technical concepts in an interview format.
7. Integrate code and add new features into a larger application.

Python is an experiment in how much freedom programmers need. Too much freedom and nobody can read another’s code; too little and expressiveness is endangered. — (Guido.van.Rossum)

It’s technology married with liberal arts, married with the humanities, that yields the results that make our hearts sing — Steve Jobs

Classes in Java

Classes are blueprints used to define objects.

Real-world objects

Application components

Class members include:

1. Variables (state)
2. Methods (behavior)
3. Constructors (initialization)
