The ExpertRating Online Java Course
(leading to ExpertRating Java
Certification).
If you
want to learn computer programming but don't have any prior
experience, you'll enjoy a tour of Java, one of the most widely used
computer languages in the world. It’s a breeze to learn in a
friendly and supportive environment. Start with the basics of
program design and go on to write your own programs and integrate
input and output, calculations, decision making, and loops. Build
your knowledge and confidence with easy-to-understand examples and
plenty of skill-building exercises. So whether you just want to try
it out to see if you like it or plan on doing more with Java, this
is a great place to start!
We’ll
use the latest release of Java, from Sun Microsystems, the company
that maintains and supports the language. We’ll also use BlueJ, a
graphical development environment designed especially for students.
Both are free open-source products, and I’ll give you the proper
instructions to download them. By the time we’re done, you’ll be
comfortable with Java programming and ready for more!
This course includes a knowledgeable and
caring instructor who will guide you through your lessons,
facilitate discussions, and answer your questions. The instructor
for this course will be Merrill Hall.

Testimonials:
The ExpertRating Online Java Course has received overwhelming positive
feedback and reviews from students around the world. Here are a few:
"All
in all, I'd give this course high marks for the neophyte student." "I
enjoyed taking the course online at my own pace. The course required commitment
to doing the exercises and assignments. The instructor was very helpful and
responded to discussion questions in a very timely manner." "I
loved this course! It got me ready for another JAVA Intro course at a local
college. The instructor did a fine job!" "In
taking this online course, I found the instructor to be of the highest quality.
I plan on taking the next Java course-only if this instructor is teaching it! I
didn't have very much time to study for this Jave course, but learned a
tremendous amount of knowledge." "I
thought that this course was extremely helpful. I was able to learn a little bit
of Java to better understand what the developers in my company are doing." "The
class was enormously helpful to me. I gleaned a lot from the course work." "The
instructor was incredibly responsive. I actually liked the course. I think it
was useful. The lessons were quite good." "The
material was very well organized and the material was readable and easy to
follow. I learned a lot." "This
course far exceeded my expectations. It was, however more difficult than I had
expected. I was unable to devote enough time to grasp all the concepts
satisfactorily. This course is the best value for the money that I have heard
of. It was thoroughly enjoyable." "This
course was just the perfect fit for me. Challenging enough yet not so
challenging that it sapped the limited time I had to apply to the course. The
instructor did an excellent job in providing just enough of a foundation for
anyone enrolled in the class." "This
was a fabulous experience! I can't wait to take another course!" "This
was a great class. I really like that you copied and ran many, many programs
giving feedback and assisting students in resolving issues. The class was much
more interactive than I had thought it would be. I learned not only from my own
questions, but also from reading about problems other students had and from the
replies by both students and teacher. Thanks for content and instructions that
were well-written and easy to follow. Everything I needed to know for the class
was explained in chapters. The suggested resource books were helpful.
Fortunately the local city library system has several of them. Thank you!" "Very
dedicated instructor, it was great having this course."

The ExpertRating Java Programming Course and Certification will make you
a Pro with Java Programming.
If you're curious about
computer programming or wondering what all the fuss
is about, this course is a great place to start.
You'll learn the basics of programming and enough of
the Java programming language to start writing your
own programs. You'll also gain a foundation for
further study and training in computer programming
or in Java.
Friday - Lesson 02
Have you ever wondered
what exactly a computer program is? This lesson will
go over how a program does what it does, and then it
will examine the steps involved in designing and
writing a program. Since lack of preparation is the
most common cause of program problems (or almost any
other undertaking!), this lesson will focus on the
planning stages of designing a program.
Week Two
Wednesday - Lesson 03
Even if you’re familiar
with computers and have done some programming, you
may not be familiar with object-oriented
programming, which is what Java is all about.
This lesson will discuss classes, objects,
attributes, and methods, and how they all work
together to form programs that are both modular and
reusable.
Friday - Lesson 04
Now that you’ve got
some basic concepts under your belt, it's time to
get down to business. You’ll download and
install all the software you need to write and test
Java programs. You’ll also test your installations
by running your very first program, and you'll learn
what it means to compile a program before running
it.
Week Three
Wednesday - Lesson 05-
Now that you’ve
installed all the software and run your first
program, you’re ready to actually write a program of
your own. In this lesson, you’ll start from scratch
and write your first program, which will duplicate
the results of the one you ran last time. Along the
way, you’ll learn how to define a class, the data it
needs, and the methods that make it work.
Friday - Lesson 06
This lesson will be a
bit like peeling an onion. You ran a program that
you didn’t write (the whole onion) in Lesson 4. In
Lesson 5, you took one layer off the onion when you
wrote a program to do the same simple task. You'll peel back another layer or two as you start
the process of writing a more complicated program,
one that will take you several lessons to finish.
Hopefully, you'll be able to avoid the tears as you
begin development and go over basic program
structure, data types, and calculations.
Week Four
Wednesday - Lesson 07
In this lesson you’re
going to continue developing the program you started
last time. You’ll add decision-making to your
programming repertoire, and you'll see how Java
compares values. Then a discussion will be made
regarding how to use those comparisons to decide
what course of action to take in any given
situation.
Friday - Lesson 08
Round, and round, and
round it goes . . .where to stop, nobody knows!
Actually, you will know, because this lesson is
all about using loops to repeat actions as many
times as you want. And if you write your loops well,
you'll definitely stop where you want!
Week Five
Wednesday - Lesson 09
In this lesson,
you’re going to learn how to write applets, which
are small Java programs that run in browser windows
and use GUI (Graphical User Interface) tools. Just
like before, this lesson will start out very simply,
then dive into the deep end in another lesson.
Friday - Lesson 10
Ready to bring out your
inner Picasso? You will learn how to use
Java’s 2-D graphical tools to draw simple shapes
like rectangles, ovals, arcs, and polygons. Along
the way, you’ll also learn some more programming
techniques related to storing groups of items in a
single collection called an array.
Week Six
Wednesday - Lesson 11
In this lesson, you’ll
improve your graphics capabilities by learning how
to load an image and display it. If you have any
digital pictures of family or friends, now is the
time to get them out! You’ll also see how to enhance
your text capabilities using different font faces,
styles, and sizes.
