About the Course

This is the first course in the Amazon Junior Software Developer Professional Certificate. In this course, you'll gain a foundational understanding of Java programming and essential software development practices. You'll start with an introduction to software development and the essential tasks of a developer as you follow the steps of the Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC). You'll then set up the Java Development Environment and dive into Java syntax and structure, learning to write and execute simple Java programs. Moving forward, you'll grasp the concepts of variables, data types, and operators, enabling you to manipulate data effectively within Java programs. After completing this course, you’ll be able to: • Explain the advantages of using an IDE. • Identify and describe the fundamental concepts of the SDLC. • Identify and describe the fundamental programming concepts using Java. • Write and execute simple Java programs to understand basic syntax and control structures. • Apply object-oriented programming concepts within the Java language....

Good experience, but I think that the laboratories should have a more up-to-date review, many times the "TODOS" did not match and the instructions were somewhat ambiguous.

I appreciate the approach they use to teach Java and how they effectively correlate these concepts with the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC)."

Es un buen curso si eres principiante en el lenguaje, explican todo lo básico del lenguaje (sintaxis, ciclos, clases, abstracción, encapsulamiento, interfaces, etc) de manera clara y sencilla y las prácticas son bastante didácticas y te llevan de la mano, algo molesto es que en algunas de estas debes hacer que la salida coincida exactamente con la que el sistema de calificado automático quiere, lo que puede llegar a ser molesto. El entorno virtual utilizado es un poco lento, estaría bien que te dejaran hacer los códigos de manera local en tu escritorio y subirlos cuando los tengas hechos.

It was a difficult course, not all explanations were catchy, I think that examples could be more simpler. Also there were technical issues, such the dessapearing subs under video and I am struggled in first lab. I work in mac and needed to use for switching keyboards. However, I'm very pleased for a lot of practical code assignment, because Java is a difficult language and for comprehensive understanding of Java principles you need practice a lot. I hadn't made any code in Java before this course, now I can create something. So, I think the course is nice. Thank so much!

Muy buena explicación, solo al final el ultimo laboratorio en la creación del Zoo le falta un poco más de detalle en algunas instrucciones o alertas para coordinar la salida esperada, puesto que si falta algún punto a la impresión o se edita mínimamente el texto, pero tiene el mismo significado, lo toma con un error directo.

Un curso bueno, interesante, muy completo y con ejercicios practicos que te ayudan a entender mejor. El unico problema que le encuentro es que es un curso muy dificil si no sabes nada de Java o entras sabiendo muy poco, el curso es algo denso para un principiante

Last module is a bit scuffed since you need to get the same results as the Emulation which is confusing since variable names can be different and they do not share how you should name your variables

The course is great overall, except that some of the questions' instructions don't align with what the 'grader' expects. It looks like some of the instructions in the questions are outdated.

Some of the assignments specifically the coding assessments are missing the code sections on the instructions page. Otherwise this is a very good course would be a 5.

It would be ideal if the course were in other languages. In addition, there are some errors in the statements that are clearly left over from previous versions.

The Overall Course was absolutely great. But the testcases for final assessment were not clearly mentioned.

Overall a terrific course. My only complaint is that they did not go over variable scoping rules.

Information was helpful and mostly clear, the grading on the the final lab is a bit finicky.

The instructor was incredible and explained everything clearly and with a lot of examples. My problem with the course was how unpleasant the experience with the lab exercises were. The environment was slow and the projects sometimes repetitive and dull.
