Java Tutorial for Beginners

#Topic - 1:

Learn Java in simple and easy steps starting from basic to advanced concepts with examples.

Basically, you have to answer following questions before going to further.

Now you want to be learning java. Great..!but why?

Why would you like to learn java programming language?

It’s okay if you don’t know the reason why you want to become a java developer. This is especially true if you are totally new and you have no idea what java language is, how it is simple or not, it has a good career path or not, etc.

In order to help you have a better understanding and see if java programming language is for you or not, let me do a real quick introduction about java and answer some of common questions. I am going to cover these are all things below introduction topic.

What is the prerequisite knowledge for learning Java or what skills are required for a fresher who wants to work in java?

•  I would suggest you to have some experience in C language , since its mother of all computer language and have some basics in place before starting JAVA.

• Basic Knowledge of Computer.

• Basic Knowledge of Programming(Conditional Statements ,  Looping, Functions , compilation)

•  Even if Java is your first language to start with (those who are not come from computer science background), you don’t require any prerequisite. Honestly speaking to learn a language requires dedication and interest to understand concepts and implement things in real life. 

So don't worry! , I will teach you from scratch, just give it a start even without having the knowledge about c of computer, you will learn everything gradually during programming. Honestly saying, I had not touch the keyboard before starting the c programming language.  

What is Java?

Java is a programming language and a platform.

Java is a high level, robust, secured and object-oriented programming language.

Platform: Any hardware or software environment in which a program runs, is known as a platform. Since Java has its own run-time environment (JRE) and API, it is called platform.

Why do I need to learn Java?

Learning Java has many benefits. Here are a few.

1. Knowledge: If you want to learn how software works, Java is one of the easiest programming languages to learn. Since most of the sites and their software systems are in Java, it makes sense to learn it for gaining knowledge. 
2. Job: Yes, Java is one of the most popular languages in Job market. So learn Java if you want to make a career in software technology. There are still a lot of job opportunities for Java developers. And this skill will open you up to be eligible for more positions.

Getting a college CS degree in most cases will improve your career trajectory. It will be useful to you for lifetime.

One of the difficult things about getting started with Java is installing everything you need. Even before you write a single line of code, the headaches begin! Hopefully, Next week I will post about(#Topic-2) what is the software’s needed to start JAVA programming.
