From the course: Java 8+ Essential Training: Syntax and Structure
Welcome
- [David] My name is David Gassner and this is the first part in a series on learning the essentials of the Java programming language. This course covers basic Java syntax and the Java platform's fundamental architecture. I'll first show you how to install the Java Development Kit and how to get started with IntelliJ IDEA community edition, a free IDE for Java developers. Then I'll introduce you to the basics of the programming language including its data types, keywords, and best practices for naming variables and other language components. I'll show you how to work with primitive data types, such as numbers and booleans, and how to create, manage, and parse string-based values. And I'll also demonstrate how to control program flow using conditional logic and loops and how to create reusable code with methods. This course is just the first part of this essential training series. I hope that it helps you get started programming with Java.
