Programming in Java

Content: Java is an object-oriented programming language that is now widely used and dynamically evolving around the world. It is based on the concept of a virtual machine, which makes it possible to develop applications for different platforms without recompilation, and has a very extensive class library that is constantly being expanded. Basic knowledge of Java is required for software development in many areas. This lecture provides an introduction to object-oriented programming using Java.
