Want to get started with object-oriented programming in a cloud environment?

This Learning Path will get you started with object-oriented programming in Java 9. First, we introduce you to the basics of Java - the core services, syntax, functions, and modules. We then show you how to get started writing functions and applications - applying object-oriented principles and using Java libraries. You can then progress on to our Advanced Java Programming Learning Path. This is a must-do learning path for anyone looking to expand their development skills!  

Learning Objectives

• Recognize and explain what Java is and the different versions of Java
