Frequently asked questions

How long does the Java e-learning course take and how long do you have access?
The Java e-learning course involves approximately 32 hours of study time and you have access to the course material for a year. You set your own pace and can repeat sections as often as you like. The course consists of videos, lectures, quizzes and exercises in English, so you can learn flexibly whenever it suits you.
Do you need prior knowledge for the Java e-learning course?
No specific prior knowledge is required for the Java e-learning course. The course starts with the basics and builds up step by step to advanced topics such as polymorphism, interfaces and exception handling. Some affinity with programming or logical thinking helps, but is not a must. Because the course is offered in English, a good command of the English language is important.
In which language is the Java e-learning course offered?
The Java e-learning course is offered in English. All videos, lectures, quizzes and exercises are in English. A basic level of English (reading and listening) is therefore useful in order to follow the material properly. Java's programming terms are in English anyway, so you will immediately become familiar with the technical language you will later use in your code.
Which topics are covered in the Java e-learning course?
The Java e-learning course covers both the basics and advanced topics. You will learn how Java works according to the 'write once, run anywhere' principle, and you will create simple Java objects, arrays and interfaces. In addition, flow control, the package concept, inheritance, polymorphism, exception handling, inner classes and the Java API library are covered. In this way you build up a complete programming foundation step by step.
What can you develop yourself after the Java e-learning course?
After completing the Java e-learning course you will be able to build applications independently, such as websites, apps, games, chat functions, online courses and interactive maps. You will create simple Java objects, implement flow control concepts and apply the package concept. You will also work with inheritance, interfaces, polymorphism and the Java API library. This gives you the foundation to use Java across the board, from web development to business applications.
What format does the Java e-learning course take and how do you learn?
You take the Java e-learning course entirely online through videos, lectures, quizzes and exercises. You work at your own pace at the computer and can repeat sections as often as you like. The combination of explanation and practical assignments means you apply the material straight away. In this way you build up your knowledge step by step, from basic to advanced Java features.
When do you choose a Java e-learning over a classroom Java course?
E-learning suits you if you want to learn flexibly at your own pace and are independent enough to work through videos, quizzes and exercises. You have access for a year and the full course covers approximately 32 hours of study time. That gives you room to go back over tricky topics such as polymorphism, inheritance or exception handling. A classroom course makes more sense if you need direct interaction with a trainer, want to ask questions while programming, or find it hard to maintain your own discipline. Please note: this Java e-learning is in English. You therefore need to be comfortable reading and listening to technical English. If you want a fixed schedule and a group, classroom training is a better fit. If you want to decide for yourself when and how often you study, e-learning is the practical choice.
How does Java compare with Python if I have to choose which programming language to learn?
Java and Python are both widely used languages, but they have different profiles. Java is a statically typed, object-oriented language that runs on the Java Virtual Machine, based on the principle of 'write once, run anywhere'. This makes Java strong for large, scalable business applications, Android apps, cloud computing and big data environments. Python is dynamically typed and is more often chosen for data science, scripting and rapid prototyping. Choose Java if you are aiming for backend development, enterprise software or Android. In this e-learning you will learn concepts such as objects, interfaces, polymorphism, inheritance, arrays and exception handling. These concepts also form the basis for other object-oriented languages such as C# and Kotlin, so your investment pays off more broadly than just Java itself.
Is Java still a relevant language to learn in 2024, or would I be better off going straight for something more modern?
Java is still one of the most widely used programming languages in the world. The language runs on virtually every type of computer thanks to the principle of 'write once, run anywhere'. Java is widely used for cloud computing, big data analytics, scalable business applications, Android apps and the backend systems of large organisations such as banks and insurers. Millions of programmers work with it every day. In this e-learning course you learn both the basics and more advanced concepts such as polymorphism, inheritance, interfaces and exception handling. These are fundamentals that also recur in other object-oriented languages (C#, Kotlin). Choose Java if you want to move towards enterprise development, Android or backend work. For data science or scripting, Python is the more obvious choice. Learning Java is therefore not an outdated choice, but an investment in a language with a broad labour market.
What is the difference between Java SE and Java EE, and which version will I learn in this e-learning course?
Java SE (Standard Edition) is the basic variant of Java and contains the core language, the standard libraries and the JVM. Java EE (Enterprise Edition, nowadays Jakarta EE) is an extension on top of SE for large-scale business applications, with additional specifications for web servers, messaging and database access. In this e-learning you learn the fundamentals of Java SE: objects, classes, inheritance, interfaces, polymorphism, arrays, flow control, exception handling, inner classes and the Java API library including the collection classes. That is the foundation you need before moving on to Jakarta EE, Spring or Android development. The course is in English and consists of videos, lectures, quizzes and exercises. You have access for a year, so you can work through the roughly 32 hours of study material at your own pace.
Can I apply for a junior Java developer role straight after this Java e-learning?
This e-learning course lays the foundations of Java: objects, flow control, packages, arrays, inheritance, interfaces, polymorphism, exception handling and the Java API library. That is the syntactic and conceptual basis you need for a junior role, but on its own it is usually not enough. In practice, employers also ask for experience with build tools (Maven or Gradle), version control with Git, a framework such as Spring Boot, unit testing with JUnit and working with a database via JDBC or JPA. Expect to spend a few more months building your own projects and mastering these tools after the 32-hour course before you start applying for jobs. The e-learning course is therefore a solid starting investment, not a complete training programme to become a working developer.
How does this Java e-learning fit into a broader learning path if I eventually want to become a full-stack developer?
This Java e-learning covers the object-oriented basics and core concepts such as classes, interfaces, polymorphism, exception handling and the Java API library. That is a logical first step towards backend development. For a full-stack profile you will then need three further steps: a framework such as Spring or Spring Boot for backend applications, knowledge of databases and SQL, and frontend technology such as HTML, CSS and JavaScript or a framework like React. The course does not teach you web frameworks, build tools such as Maven or Gradle, or version control with Git. From scratch, expect six to twelve months of self-study to reach a junior full-stack level, of which this e-learning fills roughly 32 hours. So it is a foundation, not a complete pathway.
