Programming Basics (Java)

Learn to code from the ground up using Java — one of the most widely used languages in the world, powering everything from Android apps to enterprise systems. This course is built for absolute beginners: no prior coding experience, no assumed math background beyond basic arithmetic. You'll learn by writing code from the first session, not by watching slides.

What you'll learn:

• Variables and data types — how programs store and work with information

• Control flow — making decisions in code with if/else statements

• Loops — repeating tasks without repeating yourself

• Methods — organizing your code into reusable, named blocks

• Classes and objects — a first look at how Java structures programs

• Arrays — working with lists of data

• Debugging — reading error messages and fixing your own code

Each topic is paired with a small project, so by the end of a session you've built something working, not just taken notes on a concept.

How it runs:
Join live sessions with your teacher to ask questions in real time, or catch up on the recording afterward — every class stays in your library so you can rewatch anything that didn't click the first time.

Who this is for:
Anyone starting from zero — school students getting ahead, adults switching into tech, or anyone curious what "learning to code" actually feels like.

By the end, you'll be able to:
Write your own simple Java programs, understand the core logic that underlies most programming languages (so picking up Python, JavaScript, or C++ later is much easier), and debug your own mistakes instead of getting stuck on them.

Prerequisites: None — just a computer and the willingness to write your first line of code.
