Getting Started

Welcome to Java Programming Handbook

Resources

To support your learning journey, we will be utilizing a variety of resources and platforms. These include:

1. GitHub Classroom

GitHub Classroom allows us to manage and distribute programming assignments seamlessly. It provides a collaborative environment where you can submit your code, receive feedback, and track your progress.

2. GitHub Learning Lab

GitHub Learning Lab offers interactive courses that teach you how to use GitHub effectively. You'll learn version control, collaboration, and other essential skills through hands-on exercises and tutorials.

3. HackerRank

HackerRank is a popular platform for practicing coding problems and participating in coding challenges. By solving problems on HackerRank, you'll improve your problem-solving skills and reinforce your understanding of Java concepts.

4. Microsoft Learn

Microsoft Learn provides a wide range of tutorials and learning paths on various technologies, including Java. It offers interactive modules and hands-on labs to help you gain practical experience.

5. Kaggle

Kaggle is a platform for data science and machine learning enthusiasts. While we won't focus on data science in this handbook, Kaggle can be a valuable resource for exploring data-related projects and competitions.

6. Google Colab

Google Colab is a cloud-based Jupyter notebook environment that allows you to write and execute Python code. While we'll primarily use Java in this handbook, Google Colab can be useful for experimenting with Python and machine learning projects.

Programming Materials

Under the programming materials section, you will find:

  • Tutorials: Step-by-step guides to help you understand and implement key Java concepts.
  • Notes: Summaries and explanations of important topics and best practices.
