Udemy – Java School 4: Basic Programming for Students and Beginners

The ideal course for anyone who wants to learn programming from scratch, just like in a real classroom. This course is designed for:

• High school students approaching the world of coding for the first time(*).
• First-year university students who want to strengthen their Java programming foundations.
• Absolute beginners who are curious to discover one of the most widely used and versatile programming languages.

What You Will Learn in the Course

In these units, you’ll take your Java programming skills to the next level by mastering dynamic lists and two-dimensional arrays. You’ll learn how to manage, organize, and process data structures that mirror real-world applications. Here’s what you’ll explore:

• ArrayList fundamentals: Discover how to use the ArrayList class to store and manipulate collections of objects with flexible size and powerful built-in methods.
• ArrayList operations: Practice adding, removing, searching, and modifying elements, and understand how iteration works with both standard and enhanced for loops.
• ArrayList algorithms: Implement common data-processing tasks such as filtering, counting, and sorting lists using ArrayList operations.
• 2D arrays: Learn how to represent grids, tables, or maps using two-dimensional arrays and how to access elements using row and column indices.
• Traversing 2D arrays: Gain experience using nested loops to process and analyze data in a structured, grid-like layout.
• Practical applications: Apply these concepts to solve realistic programming challenges, such as classroom seating charts, score trackers, and even simple games like Minesweeper.

By the end of these units, you’ll be able to confidently design programs that store, organize, and analyze complex sets of data using both dynamic and structured collection types — essential skills for advanced Java development.
