Java programming courses. Java developer. A basic level of. Description of the educational program
Hello. If you are reading these lines, then I confirm that these are Java lessons. The course is just crammed with practice (1200+ practical tasks) and is designed for an adult audience. I hate boring lectures, so JavaRush is made as an online game (quest).
Did you have to play and upgrade characters? Sometimes you don’t notice how you get involved, right? Guess where I'm heading? In JavaRush, you also have to upgrade your character. From level 1 to level 40. If you pass the entire course, you will become a cool Java programmer.
Pass 40 levels - you can get a job Java Junior. Although there are individuals who already at the 20th level have found a job. Because there are a lot of practical tasks in JavaRush. Lots of.
The game takes place in the far, far future, in the year 3017, where people live on Earth along with robots, and anyone can travel through space.
Once a spaceship crashed on an unknown planet...
background
The Galactic Rush team crash-landed on an unknown planet. When falling, the ship crashed into a mountain and was almost completely covered with rock fragments. Several days were spent in vain attempts to free the ship. The crew lost all hope of returning home and began to settle down in a new place ...
A week later, Ellie, the ship's navigator, accidentally discovered that the planet is inhabited by ... thousands of wild robots! They could help dismantle the stones and free the ship. But they are very primitive and stupid - they don't have any skills. They don't even know how to carry stones. Which would be very helpful.
The scientific head of the expedition, Professor Noodles, later recalled:
- A few days later I found a way out. I thought of taking the firmware of the robot Diego, a member of our crew, converting it to the firmware of a bricklayer and uploading it to wild robots.
But failure seemed to haunt us. After a little research, it turned out that the robots do not have a connector for downloading the firmware. They did not have any connector for flashing at all!
Bilaabo, the only alien on the crew, recalled seeing a robot on his home planet that knew programming. And not only did he know, but he corrected bugs in his own firmware.
It was at that moment that I had a brilliant idea. After all, once upon a time I taught one capable robot programming in Pascal.
I ordered the most talented young robot to be captured and taught Java programming. Knowing how to program, he could write any firmware for himself and help us!
In general, we caught one quick-witted specimen. Diego suggested naming him Amigo, after his brother, whom he never had.
I offered Amigo metal beads for each month of training, and ten dollars a year for subsequent work to remove the blockage. Savages and this is a lot, because we are engaged in their education for free.
Diego later writes in his memoirs:
I was outraged by such an open robbery of my colleague, but the whole team took the side of the professor and Rishi. Of course, I agreed (for show) and offered to help teach Amigo. Hehe! Especially since no one can train a robot better than another robot.
Everyone was so happy about my compliance that they also decided to take an active part in teaching Java to the Amigo robot.
You start at the first level. Your task is to upgrade Amigo to level 40. But let's start small. First, get to the second level. Maybe you will like it so much that you will not notice how you complete the course and go to work;)
And now let's move on to learning from scratch - click on the button "Open next lecture...".
I'm going to retrain to Java programmers million human.
I put together a team and made a training service that I can be proud of.
I am glad to say that it is now easy to become a programmer, regardless of education and experience.
JavaRush - Learn Java Programming as an Online Game
How about a completely new approach to learning programming and education in general? Unlike anything you've seen before. What about learning, where there is an end, means and result?
I am glad to present you new online course s learning to program in Java.
1 Learning done as an online game
You take a task, complete it and get a reward. I think this is understandable and familiar to you. The tasks will be very diverse: reading code, solving problems, video tutorials, watching Futurama, fixing errors in the code, adding new features and much more.You may even have to write programs for your robot to fight your friends in an "arena" or something.
2 Only the Essentials
So that the course does not stretch for 5 years, I threw out everything useful from it and left only the most necessary. I analyzed dozens of vacancies in the labor market. The course includes all the topics that a beginner needs to know. Java Junior Developer to get a job.3 I took your training seriously
The full course contains 900 mini-lectures and 2500(!) practical tasks. The tasks are small, but they are many, many. Just the minimum, by doing which, you will get such a valuable experience.There is also work in pairs, various games, big tasks, real projects and other types of practice.
4 You can't complete the game without becoming a programmer
The course is divided into 80 levels. You can move to the next level only if you have solved most of the tasks of the current level. Starting from small and light, and ending with large and very useful. Everyone who reaches the end will receive 500-1000 hours of practical experience. A serious claim to victory. And to work.5 Focused interview preparation
The last 10 levels focus on resume writing, interview preparation, and teamwork skills. Video recordings of interviews and their analysis will be added. And, of course, typical interview questions with answers.What are you learning
The first 40 levels you learn Java Core. The next 40 are the foundations of such technologies as JSP, Servlets, Hibernate, Spring. The study of Java Core is very detailed, everything else is in the minimum version that a Java Junior may need when applying for a job.
If there are large IT companies in your city, after level 40 you can try to get an internship with them. If you don't have them, or you don't have enough experience, you can continue learning Java technologies until you reach level 80.
At the end, a lot of time will be devoted to writing a resume, analyzing typical interview questions and recommendations for teamwork.
Course in development (done 25%)
At the moment the course is under development. About 25% of the work has already been done. Quite enough to try on the role of a Java programmer, evaluate both your strengths and JavaRush. Try it, maybe from this small event a series of magical changes in your life will begin.
Future plans
Many features have already been made, many are still being worked on, and the rest is modestly waiting for its turn. Animation, educational games, non-linear development scenario will be added. The full course will include 80 levels, 900 lectures and two and a half thousand practical exercises. As well as video recordings of interviews and their analysis. Samples of resume writing and convenient service for this.Much will depend on your feedback and service attendance.
Why Silverlight?
The game is written in Silverlight. The training course was originally designed in the form of an online game: a lot of animation, built-in mini-games, videos, cartoons and much more. So the choice here was between Silverlight (in which I have good experience) and Flash (in which I have much less experience).Simple tasks are solved on the site, for everything else there is MasterCard Intellij IDEA.
Programming is easy and fun.
Payment
Now the service is free. At the same time, funds are needed for its successful development. A finished service is better than an abandoned one.Educational grants
It would not interfere very much. I hope that my vision of education, described in the article “the right university”, will find its response in the hearts of like-minded people.Also, I look forward to your feedback. The more rave reviews the project receives, the more likely it is that some good foundation interested in the development of education will give us a development grant.
Freemium Model
With this approach, the main functionality of the service is free. The development of the service is carried out on the income received from additional paid services. These can be personal consultations, sets of specially written tasks, deeper learning on key topics. Still, for example, video lectures, video lessons, writing a resume, preparing for an interview.Either I'm too optimistic or too naive, or one of the two.
What is the beauty of the era of online courses?
They will destroy the industry mistakenly called higher education.But what about the university?
To get a job as a novice Java programmer, you need to have a good knowledge of Java Core, the basics of basic frameworks (Hibernate, Spring, JSP, Servlets) and have at least a few months of programming experience.
Formally, much of this is taught to you in universities. In fact, almost none of the above.
All universities are different, so for simplicity, I will compare an average technical university with an average vacancy for a Junior Java programmer and write my vision of the situation. You should not take this scheme as the ultimate truth, rather as a simplified view of things, in order to bring at least some clarity.
Java Junior Developer
This is most likely the case when you have already graduated from high school and are just looking for a job:
Everything that the university did not teach you, but what you need in your work, you will have to learn yourself. Most likely according to the books of months for 6-12. If you have a programmer friend who is ready to be your mentor, this period can be reduced by 2-3 times.
It is also obvious that at the university you learned a lot of things that you do not need when you first apply for a job. You may not need most of this knowledge right away, but you will need it in the future. Here's how things will change in 5 years.
A year ago, such a service was not even in the plans, and I had to train only a few people at a time. Now JavaRush is used by more than a thousand people and about a third of them are engaged every day.
So those who have the desire, but do not have the opportunity - trying.
I repeat. At the moment the course is under development. About 25% of all work done (20 levels out of 80). Quite enough to try on the role of a Java programmer, as well as evaluate both your strengths and JavaRush.
Always yours, General
Personal information and friends
It is necessary in order to display the progress of you and your friends on the starry sky map.
Your audio and video recordings
Futurama series uploaded to VK. I show them directly from there.
(In order not to overload my server with video distribution)
Wall work
So that you can invite your friends to learn Java with you.
(This can be done in the "Friends" section)
And nothing more.
Tested to work only under Windows
It doesn't seem to work under Linux with Moonlight.
Nobody has unsubscribed under MacOSX yet.
Why Silverlight was chosen
1 There is no connection between what language we learn and what the application for classes is written in
If I were to write a learning app for the iPad, I would write it in Objective C, not Java
If I taught SQL, I wouldn't write a client in SQL either.
2 Each language/framework has its own purpose
Java has Android and Enterprise.
And for RIA applications, Flash & Silverlight are best suited
3 I have a lot of experience with Silverlight
Of all the technologies that I know, I chose the most suitable for online play.
If I didn't know Silverlight but knew Flash well, the client would be in Flash.
4 There are a lot of IT workers on Habré who basically use Linux and do not use VK.
If you are a true IT guy and you only have Linux, you may have already outgrown the Java Junior course.
5 Everything should be written in Java!
Aren't there too many requirements for a project that just started out as a desire to help people and hobbies?
6 I saw that Silverlight and immediately closed
If the technology used to create the client outweighed all the advantages of the project for you, then maybe you didn’t really want to?
Who wants - is looking for an opportunity (and I provided it), who does not want - is looking for a reason.
The Java programming language can be called the Esperanto language in the IT world. Java was invented in 1995 and since then its popularity has been growing inexorably, despite the emergence of a huge number of new modern programming languages. The secret of Java's popularity lies in its versatility and relative simplicity. “Write once, run anywhere” is why many large companies choose Java more than any other language when ordering commercial projects.
You can talk about the universality of Java for hours. Java is the lingua franca of programming. If you “speak” Java with some developers on the forum, there is a very high probability that even those who specialize in other languages will understand you without translation.
For 2018, there are more than 150 programming languages in the world, but all of them, to some extent, take their origins from Java.
This popularity directly affects the demand and salaries of Java programmers. The only people who make more Java Developers are the people who manage them.
Each module studies a specific cluster of theoretical and practical knowledge that will allow you to express yourself in the world information technologies in just 6 months!
The syllabus of the modules is written by practitioners who know what to focus on. The course goes "from small to big" and is designed for students who start "from scratch". Each next module is a logical continuation of the previous one. The curriculum allows you to build knowledge gradually.
If you have firmly decided to start learning programming, but do not know how to approach this issue, do not know which language to choose and which branch of IT to go to, then this course is for you! The course is designed to learn the basics of programming from the very beginning. We will teach you to look at the program through the eyes of the Creator, and not the average user.
Why are our Java courses so cool?
1. All in one place.
If you do not know where to start learning java, then we will answer you "You need to start learning java by calling EasyUM". We have put together a super java course program that is comparable to studying to be a programmer at a university in terms of knowledge coverage. On the course, you will learn all the necessary skills to work as a Java Junior.
2. Understandable words.
Learning to program in java in "EasyUM" is easy and effortless. Our mentors have not forgotten how they felt at the beginning of their personal journey of learning to be a programmer, how they got lost in terms and abbreviations, so they will gladly explain to you all the difficult and scary moments in simple and understandable words.
3. Combine the program yourself.
Our java courses are designed for anyone who wants to learn from scratch to tangible results. However, if you are familiar with the program of one of the modules, you can "remove" it from your curriculum.
Take a confirmation test on the java course module syllabus that you are familiar with and continue learning as efficiently as possible.
The main advantage of the EasyUM java courses is the emphasis on practice. The combination of theory and practice in a ratio of 20 to 80 allows all our students to immediately join their studies, and the presence of practical exercises and laboratory work on each module will not let you miss “something” important from the training.
If you still don't know where to start programming, EasyUM is waiting for you!
The most important thing is the personal check by the teacher of your homework, which you receive after each lesson. The teacher will give you recommendations, point out what can be improved, done differently, i.e. will conduct a full Code Review.
Also, you can always write or arrange a call with the teacher if you have questions about the lessons.
Who is teaching the course?
Our teachers are active, practicing developers from large companies and studios for creating websites and applications. They not only know their profession, but also know how to accurately and clearly explain the material.
Can I?
A very relevant question for everyone who has never encountered programming and worked in a completely different field. Anyone can program and write applications in Java, no matter if you have previously worked as a translator, manager or astronaut.
Education in our school takes place from scratch and thanks to practical tasks and real projects, knowledge is acquired quite simply. You only need to complete all the tasks, desire and active participation.
What will I receive upon graduation?
At the end of the training, we will develop our own "Cloud", an analogue of Yandex Disk, which will be a good addition to your portfolio, as well as knowledge of one of the most popular and sought-after programming languages. In addition, upon successful defense of the final project, you will receive a certificate from the School confirming the completion of the course and the acquired skills.
How much are Java-programmers (Java-developers) in demand now?
The demand for Java developers is very high. There are much more tasks and vacancies than there are specialists on the market. And they get paid quite a lot.
Beginning Java developers without much experience can expect a salary of 50-60 thousand, but in a year it can grow to 100-130. Specialists with 1-3 years of experience can apply for positions with a salary of 150 and above.
By the way, working as a programmer makes it possible to work remotely from anywhere in the world! :)
If I want to stop studying, can I get a refund?
Yes, you can get your money back. We work under an educational license and return payment for hours of training not completed.
Patterns (patterns, templates) are the consistency of some experience, suitable for reuse. The course discusses a set of GoF patterns used in the implementation of architectural solutions in any object-oriented programming language.
The course deals with the concept of refactoring as a way to prevent the collapse of the program; various signs of bad code (smells) requiring refactoring; describes what kind of refactoring the best way suitable for a particular situation and its mechanics. During the course, students refactor the Java® program.
The course is devoted to using the JDBC API - an interface for accessing the DBMS from Java applications. Students will learn how to use the JDBC API to access relational databases, execute SQL queries, use transactions, create pre-configured and parameterized SQL queries, call and retrieve results from stored procedures, and use metadata.
As part of the course, students will gain practical skills in developing XML based web services based on the Java® SE 7 platform, learn about the basic concepts of XML based web services technology, standards and recommendations governing this technology, and the importance of certain initiatives in the web services development environment. This course does not cover third-party frameworks and implementations of the SOAP protocol stack.
This course will provide students with the foundational knowledge and skills to enable them to develop on the Java® SE 7 platform. It covers the basics of object-oriented programming, using the UML to design application architecture, and the basics of using the Java® language (language types, operators, classes , packages, exceptions). A large number of practical exercises are offered.
On the course, students will gain advanced knowledge about using Java® system libraries, working with Java® collections, working with I / O streams, using multi-threaded programming, GUI building basics, annotations, using logging and Reflection mechanisms. A large number of practical exercises and tasks are offered. The course covers the recommended topics for the popular Java® certification exams. However, preparation for certification and passing the exam is not the goal of the course.
In this course, students will learn about distributed computing technology using JEE (Java Enterprise Edition) technologies, including the use of EJB, CDI dependency injection, working with databases through JPA technology, and working with message brokers based on JMS technology. The course is built on the WildFly server (JBoss) as the most popular application server currently. However, the knowledge can be applied to any server that conforms to the JEE specification (WebSphere, WebLogic, etc.).
The course will give students an understanding of the Spring Security Framework, a library for providing security in projects developed using the Spring Framework. Students will learn how to use Spring Security to build secure enterprise JavaEE applications. The course provides detailed information about the use of various security tools: authentication, authorization, and the use of these tools to secure Web applications.
This course covers the use of the Apache® Maven Application Builder, including dependency management, POM file structure, project lifecycle, plugin and archetype creation. Commonly used plug-ins are described, as well as Maven integration with the Eclipse and Hudson IDEs. The course includes practical exercises.
The course introduces what's new in Java 8. It covers lambda expressions, dataflows, the map-filter-reduce approach to data processing, asynchronous programming, and an overview of the new DateTime API. A large number of practical exercises are offered for each topic.
In this course, students will get an idea about the specifics and features of the Scala language, its advantages and difficult places. The course includes Scala operators and data types, learning about basic data structures such as arrays, maps, tuples, using object-oriented and functional programming, working with Scala collections, using pattern matching, case classes, generic types, and implicit conversions. A large number of practical exercises are offered.
The seminar discusses the principles of SOLID design and provides examples of their practical use. In addition, participants must complete a practical task - to write an application within 5 sprints. This exercise demonstrates how a good design style can help reduce code complexity, write down necessary business functions, and solve technical problems. During the execution of the task, it is supposed to use design patterns and refactor to obtain an elegant solution.
The course is devoted to the study of Spring Integration, a special framework that allows you to create Message-based Spring applications using Enterprise Integration Patterns. Participants will also get acquainted with the basics and patterns of Enterprise Integration.
Spring Cloud is a project that allows you to create distributed applications with a microservice architecture. You will get acquainted with the many components available, consider in detail the architecture and the rich features of Spring Cloud.
During the training, students get acquainted with Google Guava, an open source Java library developed by Google. The course is a structured look at the most popular and powerful features of Google Guava. For a better understanding, the training is conducted using a practical approach: each topic covered contains code examples that students can run on their PCs.
The course is the first module of the program "Development on the Java SE 7 Platform. Basic Topics", which covers the basic syntax: numbers and strings; data types; variables; methods; logic and cycles; arrays. The course can be studied both separately and as the first stage of the entire program.
