Mar 2026 · 2nd Semester

Build a strong foundation in programming in Java Programming! This year-long course introduces you to the fundamentals of Java, one of the most widely used programming languages. You’ll explore essential programming concepts such as variables, loops, and conditionals, and dive into Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) to design and develop reusable and efficient code. Through hands-on projects, you’ll practice creating interactive programs, working with classes and objects, and solving real-world problems. In addition, the course emphasizes key software engineering principles such as modular design, debugging, version control, and testing. You’ll gain hands-on experience creating structured and scalable programs while learning how to solve real-world problems. By the end of the course, you’ll have a solid understanding of both programming and the foundations of software development, preparing you for advanced computer science studies and future opportunities in technology.
