About this Program


Java is perhaps the most widely used programming language in the IT world, underlying the Hadoop software framework and many data-heavy, enterprise-level operations. This versatile server-side language has also become a standard for games, mobile apps and Web-based content, and the demand for Java developers continues to grow at a rapid rate.

In this three-course certificate program, we’ll cover the full range of Java fundamentals. You’ll get an introduction to APIs, become familiar with application testing and deployment and use standard tools to develop basic Java programs. Develop the skills to create your own full-featured Java applications.
