Introducción a la Programación en Java: Comienza a Programar
This course is part of Introducción a la programación en Java.
This introductory Java programming course offers a comprehensive foundation for beginners. Over five weeks, students progressively learn essential programming concepts including functional abstraction, object-oriented programming (OOP), and application programming interfaces (APIs). The course emphasizes immediate feedback and enjoyable learning experiences, providing examples and case studies that enable students to program independently or collaboratively. Java, being one of the most widely used programming languages today, opens doors to computational thinking—applying computer techniques to everyday processes. The course is structured in three parts: Part 1 introduces programming through familiar concepts like calculators and games; Part 2 focuses on writing "good" programs from perspectives of correctness, efficiency, software engineering techniques, and ethics; and Part 3 addresses fundamental data structures like sequences and search and sorting algorithms. This knowledge is valuable not only for programming current devices like computers and smartphones but also for developing computational thinking skills applicable to everyday processes.

This Java programming course provides a strong foundation for beginners, introducing essential programming concepts through practical, interactive learning. Students begin with basic programming fundamentals, learning how to transition from calculator-like operations to building computer programs. The course covers state transformation, functional abstraction, and object encapsulation—core concepts in programming paradigms. Students learn to develop programs using conditionals and loops, design recursive algorithms, and understand object-oriented programming principles. The curriculum includes hands-on experience with Java APIs and common classes, allowing students to create simple yet functional Java programs. By the end of the course, participants will have gained not only technical skills in Java programming but also computational thinking abilities applicable to everyday problem-solving. The progressive structure ensures learners build confidence while developing practical programming capabilities that serve as a foundation for more advanced computing studies.
