Object Oriented Programming in Java

Object-Oriented Java, Built From Real Projects

UC San Diego and Duke University teach object-oriented programming in Java through applied projects rather than syntax drills alone, covering algorithms, data manipulation, and even web scraping and bioinformatics applications along the way.

Who it's for

Beginner programmers who want a solid grounding in Java and object-oriented design principles, with exposure to how those skills apply to data-heavy, real-world problems in science and industry.

What you'll take away

• Core Java syntax, file I/O, and debugging practices
• Object-oriented software design and programming principles
• Applied problem-solving through data analysis and web scraping projects
• Descriptive statistics and program development fundamentals

With nearly 117,000 learners, it's a well-established, beginner-friendly path into Java for anyone who wants their first language taught alongside genuine problem-solving.
