Overview

This intensive Fast Track to Java 17 and Object-Oriented Development course provides a fast-paced, hands-on introduction to modern Java programming for developers with prior coding experience. Covering the latest features of Java (including updates from Java 9 through Java 17), the course equips you with the skills to build efficient, well-structured, and scalable applications. You’ll gain a strong understanding of Java fundamentals alongside core object-oriented programming (OOP) principles such as encapsulation, inheritance, and polymorphism, essential for developing professional, maintainable software.

Description

This course is designed to help experienced programmers quickly transition into Java and modern object-oriented development practices. You’ll begin with the fundamentals of the Java platform, including how programs are structured, compiled, and executed using the Java Development Kit (JDK).

As the course progresses, you’ll explore core Java language features such as variables, control flow, arrays, and data structures, building a solid programming foundation. A major focus is placed on object-oriented programming, where you’ll learn how to design and implement classes, work with inheritance and interfaces, and apply abstraction and encapsulation to create reusable and maintainable code.

You’ll also work with key Java APIs and tools, including the Java Collections Framework, exception handling, and modern language features such as modules and enhancements introduced in recent Java versions. Practical exercises throughout the course reinforce learning and help you apply concepts in real-world scenarios, ensuring you can confidently develop Java applications.

Who is this course for?

This course is ideal for:

  • Developers with experience in other programming languages (e.g. C++, C#, Python) who want to learn Java quickly.
  • Software engineers transitioning into Java development roles.
  • Programmers looking to strengthen their understanding of object-oriented design principles.
  • Technical professionals aiming to work on enterprise, backend, or cross-platform applications using Java.

Requirements

To get the most out of this course, you should:

  • Have prior programming experience in any language.
  • Understand basic programming concepts such as variables, loops, and functions.
  • Be comfortable working with development tools and writing code.

This is a fast-track course and is not suitable for complete beginners.

Career path

Completing this course can support progression into roles such as Java Developer, Backend Developer, Software Engineer, or Application Developer, particularly in enterprise systems, web services, and large-scale software environments.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
