Learn Java Programming Crash Course
This Java For Beginners Course Includes Java Basics And Core Java Skills Training To Make You A Software Developer Fast
If you want to learn to program in Java in far less time than you previously thought possible then read on.
The world today is a hectic place. Most of us have very little spare time. Once we have worked (or studied), slept, spent some time with friends and family there is little time left to think about a career.
In order to become a software developer you need programming skills. But how can you get those skills in the minimum amount of time and still have a life along the way?
This course was designed to teach you the essential Java programming skills you need to get your first programming job, or perhaps a promotion to a more senior position. And to do it in the shortest possible amount of time.
Here is a review written by one of the students in the course.
“Tim is such a great instructor! He just have that magic in him that makes me understand what he is teaching!” – Henrik Ferrari
Do I need to learn 100% of the Java language?
No! To understand how this course can help you, there is a need to understand how programming languages are constructed. The creators of these languages try and add every single feature they think someone might need, ever.
A large part of the language rarely gets used, and sometimes not at all. It’s the same with software. If you have used a spreadsheet in the past, I’d lay odds that you use it for basic spreadsheet work, and you rarely, if ever go into some of the advanced functionality. The basic functions of the spreadsheet are what most people use.
Imagine if you had to learn every feature of the spreadsheet program? How long would it take, and would most of that information be useful to you? Especially if you were learning it to get a job and that job only required basic spreadsheet skills.
Switching back to programming, if your goal is to get your first programming job, then why not only learn what you need to achieve that goal. And worry about the other stuff when and if you need it.
That’s what this course is all about – giving you the skills you need quickly without any fluff or useless information.
The course is aimed at complete beginners.
We assume you have never programmed before in this course and start from scratch and show you step by step how to download and install the tools, through to writing your first programs, and from there we move to more and more of parts of the Java language that you need to understand.
If you are already a programmer, you will still find value in this course – It’s very common for programmers to want to learn a second or third programming language, and doing so makes you more valuable and opens up career opportunities.
As this is a crash course you can get skilled in Java, fast.
Here is what a student said about another of the instructors courses.
“This course is AMAZING!!!! The teaching is thorough with lots of helpful exercises in various formats! The TA responded very quickly to my question! Thank you!” – Joy Hope
What version of Java will I learn?
All videos in the course have been recorded using the very latest version. Java 11. It’s recommended that you follow along with that version, but if you have an older version most of the course should work just fine.
Java 11 is the version you will want to learn because Oracle have designated it as the LTS version of Java – meaning they will support it for many years to come. The reason they do this is so large companies can have a particular version of Java employed on the clients sites for years without worrying about new versions of Java crashing previously working programs.
Java 11 will get updated regularly over this time, but it will remain version 11. Oracle also have new Java versions coming out six monthly, but as soon as a new version is released, the previous version is no longer supported.
As such you should learn Java 11 which gives you the most useful skills for your future employer.
I heard that you have to pay to use Java 11.
It’s true that Oracle charging businesses to use Java 11, but students and professional developers alike never need to pay for Java. It’s 100% free. And even if that ever became a problem in the future, there is the free OpenJDK version of Java that has no restrictions.
The bottom line is that you do not need to pay anything to legally use Java 11.
What will you learn in the course?
You’ll learn the essential Java skills needed to become employable as a Java developer.
-
Creating a Java basic program
-
All about the Java compiler
-
Data Types, Variables, Conditional Processing, Loops, Classes, Operators, Expressions – all the good stuff.
-
Check out the curriculum on this page for a list of what is covered in the course.
In the course you will work with a lot of Java example code. You will start with Java code that was badly written. You’ll see why it’s bad, and then as you progress through the course, you will improve it and make the code bug free.
This approach, along with smaller snippers of code will help you become a programmer as well as think as a programmer. And as a result you will learn how to get the most out of Java.
What about course updates?
The course will get regular updates – We already have a document in the course that outlines what content is still to be added – We envisage it will be around sixteen hours once done.
It’s shorter than that now, but we are adding videos almost every day at the moment.
The instructors have built up a good history of updating their courses in the past on Udemy and that will continue in this course.
What about the instructors?
Your instructors Tim and Goran have a combined 40 years of professional software development experience between them. They have worked for prestigious companies such as IBM, Mitsubishi, Fujitsu and Saab. Their professional experience means you are learning from true experts with real commercial programming experience.
Tim has 18 years experience as a Java developer, and Goran whilst a lot younger than Tim is Oracle Java certified. You will be working with professional software developers who will be teaching you the right way to code based on years of experience.
What’s more, there other courses on Udemy have hundreds of thousands of enrolments and literally tens of thousands of reviews. They have built up an enviable record of creating best selling and highly rated courses that help people just like you learn to program and move into a programming career.
Here is another comment from a student in one of Tims Udemy courses.
“I messaged once a few months ago when finishing you Java course on how it helped me also as a refresher on my c# skills. Long story short, the owner of the Software Development company I work for now, after seeing my skills by accident, he asked me if I was looking for a job, I said not really but I would be interested in seeing what all was about, he asked for my resume, set up an interview and he made me a quick test to see how far I was skill-wise and I finished the test with flying colors. He offered me a long term full time job right on the spot with a starting salary superior to what I was doing ($70,000 USD/yr to start and $75,000 USD/yr after six months if everything goes fine), really nice hours and benefits. So now I am coding with a real purpose and what I was doing for free in my free time, now is earning me a living, I’ve been working there for a month now and it has been great for them and for me. ” – Miguel Lara
What about if you have questions?
As if this course wasn’t complete enough, Tim and Goran offer full support, answering any questions you have 7 days a week (whereas many instructors answer just once per week, or not at all).
This means you’ll never find yourself stuck on one lesson for days on end. With their hand-holding guidance, you’ll progress smoothly through this course without any major roadblocks.
Student Quote: “In the course there are several challenges, and when in need of a hint; questions asked are replied swift and elaborate. Feels like one-on-one support. It exceeds my expectations!” – Arjo Tibben
There’s no risk either!
This course comes with a full 30 day money-back guarantee. Meaning if you are not completely satisfied with the course or your progress, simply let the instructors know and they will refund you 100%, every last penny no questions asked.
You either end up with C# skills, go on to develop great programs and potentially make an awesome career for yourself, or you try the course and simply get all your money back if you don’t like it…
You literally can’t lose.

Overall - A good course. Gives you a very reasonable understanding of Java, I feel as though it is quite a comprehensive course. I have actually applied some of the skills taught into my current job. The reason why I'm not rating a 4 or 5 Star - Is quite simple, it's not finished. In one of the first lectures, they recommend completing a free prerequisite on YT, which is fine. The issue, after a month the video still isn't available - it's just disappointing. I started the course went through the first few lectures, they were quite difficult to follow. I felt that the prerequisite was very much needed - I ended up going to a different site to grasp the 'basics' before continuing this course. I did come back & i did finish the course - Like i said it's quite comprehensive, but it's not finished. 'More content to come..' More content will be posted, weekly/monthly. I'd recommend this course to anyone who's got a basic understanding. When the prerequisite is uploaded I'd recommend this to all levels. I'll possibly revise my 3 1/2 Stars when more content is added. FYI - The assistant instructor answers questions very quickly - great to see!

As a tester, I wanted to have a better understanding of the core elements of Java. While there are some aspects of the course that are not necessarily related to what a tester needs to know, the foundation presented here is solid and useful. The instructor's experience as a developer and educator is apparent in his ability to distill the most useful and common components of the language. Of course, this is about learning to code and a single viewing of the course work will never be enough to learn with confidence (and he tells you as much). Learning to code requires persistent practice no matter how proficient the instructor. The point is that Mr. Buchalka's course can get you the foundational understanding of Java with more clarity and utility.

Good Lectures for beginner and now i started to learn your Java on Spring course. However, it's hard to understand because of some concepts that it has not been undated in this crash course for example, what is implements, difference between class and interface etc... I wish to update this lectures as soon as possible.
