In this course, you will :
- provides a foundation for learning Java SE (Standard Edition), allowing you to create your first apps or begin exploring the language on your own.
- demonstrates how to install Java and the IntelliJ IDEA IDE and begin working with variables, data types, keywords, and other important language components.
- Control programme flow with conditional logic and loops, store data with the Java Collections Framework, and learn how Java implements object-oriented coding principles like inheritance and polymorphism.
