Infinite Skills’ “Learning Java 8 Tutorial” Provides Foundation in Essentials of Widely-Used Programming Language, With Focus on Object-Oriented Features
(PRWEB) July 25, 2014 -- Software training firm Infinite Skills Inc. this week released its “Learning Java 8 Tutorial,” a beginning-level course designed for new programmers and those new to the Java language.
With over 3 billion devices currently running Java worldwide, the programming language is one of the most popular in use today. Java has continued to proliferate largely due to its basic "write once and run anywhere" principle, ensuring that any program written in Java can run on any device that supports the language. Java is particularly popular in the development of client-server web applications.
Infinite Skills’ Learning Java 8 Tutorial helps new Java programmers develop a firm basis in the essential features and skills for Java programming, paying particular attention to its foundation as an object-oriented language.

Course author Mike Kelly started programming in his youth and has spent the last two decades providing technical training in applications, network engineering, and programming. He has worked with and trained developers in multiple industries, including nuclear power and medical research. He also runs a training blog for Grails, a Java-based web app framework, and publishes a Grails magazine available from iTunes.
Kelly begins here with an introduction to the basic concepts of Java, exploring the anatomy of a Java program, before guiding students through the installation of the Java Development Kit on Windows, OS X, and Linux systems.
From there, students follow along as Kelly starts from scratch with the development of a project application, a reservation system for a fictional airline company.
Building from the ground up, students first learn to create, compile, and run a Java class, before moving on to creating a scrapbook page, where they learn to work with data types and variables, and go in-depth with classes as they create a passenger class for the airline app.
As the elements of the app continue to develop, students learn essentials such as unit testing, passing data between objects, storing objects in ArrayLists, Java Syntax, and creating a console class for end-user input.
Concluding chapters cover app deployment, object inheritance, logging, and more.
"In this course, students will learn to use modern tools to give maximum productivity as we build a working app in Java," Kelly explains.
"Java has deep roots in the object-oriented paradigm, and this course will focus on Java's object-oriented nature, giving students a good handle on Java syntax and a solid understanding of object-oriented programming."
