Java Programming: Intermediate Concepts
Learn Java programming through practical exercises with strings, custom methods, file operations and recursion in this self-paced beginner course.
Learn Java programming through practical exercises with strings, custom methods, file operations and recursion in this self-paced beginner course.
This hands-on Java programming course builds on basic skills to develop intermediate programming concepts. Designed for learners with limited coding experience, it provides a solid foundation in Java and core Computer Science topics transferable to other languages. The curriculum covers essential programming concepts including strings manipulation, creating user-defined methods to improve code readability, reading and writing to text and CSV files, and implementing recursion as an alternative to iteration. The course features a truly hands-on, self-paced learning experience that is intentionally video-free. Instead, assignments contain concise explanations with images and runnable code examples that invite learners to explore through suggested edits, building deeper understanding through practice. Students benefit from instant feedback through various assessment items, progressing gradually from quick understanding checks (multiple choice, fill in the blank, and code block unscrambling exercises) to small, approachable coding exercises designed to take minutes rather than hours.

Module Description
This intermediate Java programming course builds on foundational skills to develop more advanced programming concepts while maintaining accessibility for beginners. The curriculum focuses on four key areas: string manipulation techniques, creating and implementing user-defined methods to improve code organization and readability, working with external files (both text and CSV formats), and understanding recursive programming as an alternative to iteration. The course employs a hands-on, code-first approach without videos, instead using concise explanations with runnable examples that encourage learning by doing. Students receive immediate feedback through various assessment types that gradually increase in complexity from simple comprehension checks to manageable coding exercises. This approach makes complex programming concepts approachable by breaking them into smaller, digestible components. The course requires no software installation as all coding is done directly in the browser, removing technical barriers and allowing students to focus entirely on learning Java programming concepts that can be transferred to other languages.
