    What do kids learn in a Java class?

    Many Java afterschool programs listed above are introductory level. In these classes, they get introduced to data types and variables, conditions and loops, arrays and functions, and classes and methods. All of these are fundamental concepts in Java and apply to some other languages, as well. In some classes, kids get to work with popular platforms like Minecraft, meaning that kids as young as seven have a gateway into learning how to code with Java. 

    About advanced Java classes

    Intermediate and advanced Java classes are generally ideal for kids 11 and older. In these, students get introduced to topics like Object-Oriented Programming and will work on advanced programming projects like game creation. They’ll also learn advanced math fundamentals.

    Why enrol in a Java course?

    A readymade supportive community. Classes above offer a ready-made collaborative group of enthusiastic fellow coders. You’ll drive each other to learn faster, and you can debug each other’s work and brainstorm ideas for games and interactions. Of course, instructors are part of the setting. Students in their mid-teens should already be thinking of growing their network, which teachers can also help with. 

    Java is accessible and versatile. Because its syntax has similarities to English, it’s easy to program and write Java. It can be run on different platforms and different systems. Finally, it’s also platform-independent at the source and in binary. Here’s a link to a good list of ten reasons why kids should learn Java programming.

    Future career opportunities. Entry-level Java programming jobs pay over $80,000 per year. Advanced courses above will offer substantial learning and experience that can be added to a resume. You’ll be well on your way to a great career. 

    How to find the best class for you

    As you browse class options, here are a list of questions to consider:

    • What are the prerequisites? For example, what programming languages (HTML, Scratch, others) will help prepare people for class? Are other languages required? 
    • What equipment is available? For example, are students encouraged or expected to bring their own laptop? 
    • How experienced are instructors? What are their qualifications in terms of Java programming and work experience? What are their teaching qualifications? 
    • What’s the ratio of students to teachers? 
    • What’s the goal of the class? For example, will students earn certification in Java?
