Summary

With the JPX Learner and the Java language, this course gives you a playful introduction to the basics of programming.

The course makes you at home with the basics of programming and has you writing your first small programs yourself, in the playful JPX Learner environment. You come to understand the terms software development uses, and you see them at work in a real language, Java. An ideal course for giving complete beginners a way into programming that actually makes sense.

Topics covered

The basics of software development

  • The basics of programming
  • Data types and what is peculiar about them
  • Methods: defining them, calling them, passing parameters, return values
  • How do I avoid repeating myself in code? (methods)
  • Repetition (loops)
  • How a program is put together
  • Syntax
  • Keywords
  • Operators
  • Expressions
  • Arrays
  • The elements of the Java language
  • Writing simple algorithms yourself (sorting a set, escaping a maze, and more)
  • Keeping to coding conventions

Learning objectives

After completing the course you will be able to …

  • you know some of the groundwork of software development in general.
  • you understand the terms programming uses most.
  • you write your first programs of your own — algorithms that bring order to data, for instance — and know what to do with them.
Who it is for

This introductory course asks for no prior knowledge. It suits anyone who wants a closely guided way into programming, and complete beginners above all. If you already know a little programming or are at home with IT, ‘Java Basics’ is the better place to start.

FAQs

Do you also offer in-house training?

Yes — we are happy to plan your own in-house course with you.

Are the costs of a course with you covered by the Federal Employment Agency?

No, BREDEX is not certified for that.

Can I redeem an education voucher with you?

No, BREDEX is not certified for that.

Where do I find your terms and conditions?

After booking you receive a confirmation with a link to the terms and conditions. You can also find them at the very bottom of the BREDEX Academy website.

Can I book an ISTQB exam without having attended your course first?

Yes — you are welcome to sit the ISTQB exam alone.

Do you also offer the courses online?

Yes, as a rule we offer every course online or remote as well. On the BREDEX website you can see whether your course is offered online on the date you want — it is marked as an online course there. If your date is not available online, simply write to us at weiterbildung@bredex.de.

How does an online course work?

Whether it is facilitating a retrospective, a technical course or a design thinking workshop — our experts guide you remotely at the same quality. Despite the physical distance we put great weight on interaction, lively conversation and a variety of methods. You can see what that looks like in this short video.

Does the software for programming courses have to be installed beforehand for an online course?

We offer every one of our programming courses remotely as online training too — at the same quality. All you need is a device with an internet connection and, ideally, a headset and a camera.
The software a programming course normally needs (the development environment, installed language packages such as Java 8 and the like) does not have to be installed by participants beforehand.
During the course you simply open your browser again and follow our link to the virtual machine. That is a virtual computer running on a host system: a sealed-off environment in which several operating systems of an independent guest system can run side by side on one physical machine. Put simply, another (virtual) computer that you operate from your own. Nothing you do there has any effect on your own device. This way you can reach every piece of software and every tool the course needs and start programming right away — without having to take care of anything before or during the course.
