About the course

Java is a programming language that has been one of the most popular of all development languages for many years. This is because, unlike many other programming languages, Java is designed for developing large and complex web applications. Among them: banking systems, aircraft management systems, corporate HR systems, large aggregators and platforms (Amazon, Ebay), social networks (LinkedIn), etc. The choice of medium and large businesses for development is almost always Java.

At the same time, Java is considered one of the most difficult programming languages. That is why it is really not easy to become a Java developer. But if you can master this direction, you will become a successful and in-demand specialist until your retirement!

The demand for Java developers is always high and is accompanied by a decent level of salary. This applies not only to experienced specialists with experience, but also to beginners.

Our instructors have designed the Java course program so that every student gets the necessary basic knowledge and practical skills from scratch. You will be able to study online at your convenience, combine your studies with your work, etc.

The course is ideal for

Anyone who already knows a little bit about programming face-1
Everyone who loves to look for non-standard solutions to various problems face-2
Everyone who is dreaming of working in the IT industry face-3
IT practitioners who want to expand their knowledge and learn a new direction for themselves face-4
