35. Android EditText and the strings.xml File

November 1, 2023

Mobile apps are interactive. Users want to be able to add data and have the app do what it needs to do and then output some results. See how to enable users to add input to your app so, when a button is clicked, the app will show what they

34. Android Project Structure

November 1, 2023

An Android app project is structured to separate the user interface (UI) from the logic (Java code). This structure makes creating Android apps much easier for the developer. Here, take a close look at both structural sides of your Android project.

33. Android Studio: Setup, Emulator, and First App

November 1, 2023

In the first of several more lengthy, in-depth lessons on building your very own Android app, learn how to work with project templates, how to choose the right set of libraries and functionalities, how to set up emulators that can test your apps as you develop them, and more.

32. Java Swing: Build a Fun Graphical User Interface

November 1, 2023

Time to bring your Java Swing skills to life onscreen. Here, build a fun Java Swing graphical user interface (GUI) application. You

30. Java Swing: FlowLayout

November 1, 2023

With FlowLayout, as you add components, they

28. Adding Buttons and Event Listeners

November 1, 2023

In Java Swing, whenever you want to have components react to a click event on a button, you need to attach those components to an ActionListener, then pass the ActionListener object. Learn how to do all that right here.

27. Java Swing: Create a Simple User Interface

November 1, 2023

Creating programs with user interfaces in Java requires Java Swing and a set of classes called the Abstract Window Toolkit. In this lesson, discover just how easy it is to create user interfaces with these helpful tools.

26. Java ArrayList

November 1, 2023

So far, you

25. The Java Class Library

November 1, 2023

Comb through all the Java classes available to you as a programmer with this look at the Java Class Library. One of the many beauties of Java is this library of usable classes you can plug into your own classes, without having to write them yourself.

24. Java Inheritance: Invoking Parent Methods

November 1, 2023

What happens when you still want to invoke your superclass

22. Using the

November 1, 2023

String, just one of the thousands of classes that come prepacked in Java, is a class you can instantiate into an object. In this lesson, explore some of the many nuances of using the String class as a reference type in your own coding work.

21. Java Getters and Setters

November 1, 2023

How can you protect your classes from catastrophic programming mistakes? How do getters and setters actually force you to set up your class properties in more secure ways? Should getters and setters be marked private or public? Find out here.

20. Methods: Passing Arguments, Returning Values

November 1, 2023

In this lesson on methods (code blocks where you can have statements and in which you can write your logic), learn through several helpful exercises how to work with important method-related keywords like main, public, static, and void.

19. Class Constructors in Java

November 1, 2023

Constructors are methods that construct your object so that, when it

18. Creating Objects in Java

November 1, 2023

In programming, objects are the building blocks of tasks that you can plug into a bigger system. Explore the various components that go into creating objects, from creating a blueprint (class) to using "methods" to express particular object

17. Arrays in Java

November 1, 2023

Unlike variables, arrays store a collection of related variables that share the same type. Here, learn to think of arrays in Java as containers that hold smaller containers inside them and get tips on how to master their flexibility in programming.

16. The do-while Loop and the for Loop in Java

November 1, 2023

Gain working familiarity with do-while and for loops. With the former, the statements inside the loop are executed at least once (even if the loop condition is false). With the latter, you can repeat a section of a program a fixed number of times.

15. Multiple Branches with the Java switch Statement

November 1, 2023

In programming cases where you have more than two possible conditions, a switch statement is your best friend, as it can test for a variety of different conditions and respond accordingly. In this lesson, try your hand at using switch statements.

14. Java Branching Statements: if, if-else, and else-if

November 1, 2023

Summary is not available.

13. The while Loop in Java

November 1, 2023

Loops help programs repeat tasks until a final condition is met. Here, learn how to build and use while loops in your program and get tips on avoiding the danger of creating an infinite loop that will run forever (or at least until your computer runs out of memory).

12. Java Operators and Operator Precedence

November 1, 2023

Understanding how operator precedence works in Java is crucial, because you could end up with the wrong result

10. Primitive Variable Types: byte, short, and long

November 1, 2023

Explore additional primitive variable types. A byte holds eight bits and is commonly used in instances where you need a small container for data. A short holds 16 bits, and makes a great mid-sized container. And a long, at 64 bits, is best for larger numbers.

9. Primitive Variable Types: boolean and char

November 1, 2023

There are eight primitive variable types in Java, each of which has a set number of data bits it can hold. Dichone introduces you to the boolean primitive, which can only hold either 1 or 0 (true or false), and the char primitive, which represents one character only.

8. Concatenating Variables in Java

November 1, 2023

The act of putting strings together into one long string is known as concatenation. Exercises in this lesson include creating several String and int variables with assigned values, and writing a short story about yourself using variables in Java.

7. Declaring Variable Types: int and String

November 1, 2023

Variables are essential in computer programming because they make it much easier for programmers to output data that can be passed on to another method for further processing. Learn how to declare and specify String and int (integer) variables.

6. Java Code Structure, Syntax, and main Method

November 1, 2023

Take a closer look at the "print" program you created in the previous lesson. Topics you

5. Create Your First Java Program!

November 1, 2023

Think of integrated development environments (IDEs) as code editors with everything programmers need to write code. Get insights into three IDEs: IntelliJ IDEA (used to write programs in multiple languages), NetBeans (which simplifies app development), and Android Studio (the app-friendly IDE used in rest of this course).

1. Welcome to Java!
