Master Practical Java Development

Backed by a ton of research and industry experience, I’ve designed this course to be the GO-TO resource on the internet for actually learning Java practically and mastering real-world software development. You’ll learn things you can actually take to your interview and be confident on the first day of the job!

If you’re a beginner in Java, you should complete my beginner Java course called: “Getting Started with Java” also available on this site. After completing both of these courses and practicing the assignments, you’ll once and for all become job-ready to kick start your Java programming career as a furnished software professional!

Unlike anything out there, my priority has been to keep this curriculum ENTIRELY PRACTICAL from scratch! You’ll be mastering the collections framework and diving deep into java generics. You’ll learn all there is to know about multi-threading and the JDBC API for working with a MySQL database. There are also practical projects scattered throughout the course so that you can practice the concepts as you learn them. For example one of the projects involves processing files with stock market data. So as you can see, I tried to keep the projects professional and industry relevant rather than cloning a game like flappy bird. Just like my other top ranked courses, I have maintained the same style for teaching. I repeat things in multiple ways so that the information is fully retained. The model I use to teach in all my courses is: “watch-once, practice, retain & move on” – so that a student does not have to go back and watch a lecture more than once to understand what’s going on.

    What fellow students have to say about this course?

    "I changed careers in late 2016 from banking to software development. I started off with basic knowledge of HTML, CSS and a bit of Javascript. When I go my first job, I was overwhelmed by the fact that they were using Java with MySQL in the Backend. I had never used this stack before and was barely able to understand what a "Class" was. Your courses in SQL and OOP with Java helped me immensely to navigate the codebase. I could finally "see" the implemented patterns and understand and write my own SQL queries. From then on, I was able to start pumping out features. Fast forward a few years and I am now a Senior Developer. Thank you so much for your courses! It helped me to keep motivated and grow as a developer."

    "I wanted to take a moment to share my feedback on the Oracle course I completed under your guidance. The course has been an invaluable experience for me, significantly contributing to my professional growth and enhancing my abilities in the SQL ecosystem. First and foremost, the course provided me with a comprehensive understanding of the database technology stack. From the fundamentals to the advanced concepts, I appreciated the structured approach taken in delivering the course material. The clarity and depth of the content allowed me to grasp complex topics with ease, filling gaps in my knowledge and empowering me to tackle real-world challenges more effectively. In conclusion, I am immensely grateful for the course and the impact it has had on my workplace and career. Once again, thank you for providing such an enriching learning experience. I highly recommend this course to anyone seeking to enhance their Oracle expertise and achieve professional growth."

    "JRP was a huge help. The beginning where you separated the 2 routes (Analyst vs. Engineer) helped users sift through what they needed to learn. I first wanted to go analyst, which I used to land a job as a Business Analyst at a top fashion company. This showed me how to use SQL and some Python, from start to finish. What I mean by that is you gave clear instructions in a calm voice, on how to get started from scratch (IDE setup, fundamentals, and providing simple case studies). What was REALLY helpful was that you would constantly provide little caveats/hints/tips that only a seasoned engineer/analyst would know. This is very important. I then started your engineer route, and although I did not stick fully through that like I did the analyst route, it was a huge help in getting started with code and its fundamentals as well. I was able to create my own mini-projects, then finally graduated to implementing distributed systems and creating more projects. Finally, with the push from your courses, I started grinding Leetcode to prepare for interviews. The tl;dr here is that your content holds the user's hand early, provides challenging questions for a beginner, and gives information that they wouldn't be able to easily find otherwise on the internet unless they specifically knew what they were asking. In fact, I still to this day refer your jobreadyprogrammer courses to friends who are interested in getting into the programming/analyst route."

    "I used Job Ready Programmer to greatly improve my SQL skills and learn new Tableau skills for my current Data Analyst career. I intend to utilize the Java and other courses as I transition my career into a Full Stack Developer."
