About this Course
Demonstrate your Java development skills in two hands-on projects that employers will value.

You will:  

  • Demonstrate proficiency in building modular Java applications using OOP, file handling, and exception management 
  • Develop interactive, console-based Java programs that accept user input and maintain persistent data storage through file handling 
  • Apply Java’s exception handling techniques to manage input errors and evaluate data integrity during file and user operations 
  • Generate structured, well-formatted reports by filtering and displaying data stored within Java objects 
Course Overview  

Demonstrable, hands-on experience is essential for building a successful career in Java development. This course gives aspiring and practicing developers the opportunity to strengthen their portfolio with real-world experience.  

During this course, you’ll complete two projects. In the first, you’ll use your Java programming skills to build a console-based recycling tracker. As you work through the project, you’ll create modular code using object-oriented principles, organize data with ArrayLists and HashMaps, design read and write files, and implement exception handling. You'll also show your understanding of how to persist object data and create relevant reports for tracking and calculating key metrics.  

In the second project, you'll use your object-oriented Java skills to build a console-based prototype pet care scheduling application. Your goal will be to enable users to register their pets, log important appointments, track upcoming tasks, and store this information safely so it is retained.
