Share Description
In this course, you will :
- Improve your programming and problem-solving skills by learning to code in Java.
- learn how to create algorithms, as well as how to develop and debug programmes.
- Write programmes that access and transform images, websites, and other types of data using custom open-source classes.
- By the end of the course, you will have created a programme that analyses comma separated value (CSV) files to determine the popularity of various baby names in the United States over time.
- Edit, compile, and run a Java programme; and
- In a Java programme, use conditionals and loops.
- When writing programmes, consult the Java API documentation.
- Use the scientific method to debug a Java programme.
- Develop a Java method to solve a specific problem.
- Create a set of test cases as part of the programme development process.
- Create a class with multiple methods that collaborate to solve a problem; and
- For a programme with multiple methods, use divide-and-conquer design techniques.
