Java Programming: Writing Good Code in Java
This course is part of Introducción a la programación en Java.
This introductory Java programming course is designed to teach you how to write "good" code - defined as code that is both correct and efficient. You'll learn the basic principles of software engineering to facilitate code reuse, and explore ethical considerations and intellectual property rights. The course provides practical examples and case studies to implement increasingly complex programs, with an emphasis on immediate feedback and creating an enjoyable programming experience. Learning Java is not only useful for programming current devices like computers and smartphones but also opens the door to computational thinking - applying computer techniques to everyday processes. The course covers error detection and correction during compilation and runtime, debugging tools, unit testing, program efficiency comparison, basic software engineering techniques for simple Java programs, and ethical considerations in software development.
