This course provides an in-depth journey through modern Java object-oriented and function programming concepts and features, and explores how to apply these concepts and features to implement efficient and scalable concurrent programs using very modern Java features like virtual threads.
The first week gives an overview of Java object-oriented and functional programming paradigms. The second and third week delve into Java functional programming features, such as lambda expressions, method references, and functional interfaces. The final week explores the intricacies of very modern Java platform threads, virtual threads, as well as Java's asynchronous computation features, such as Future & FutureTask.
After completing this course, you'll gain a deep understanding of both object-oriented and
functional programming concepts and features in Java, along with the ability to apply these concepts and features to develop multi-threaded programs. To illustrate key points, we walk through numerous case
studies, all of which are available in open-source form from my GitHub repository.
Vanderbilt University, located in Nashville, Tenn., is a private research university and medical center offering a full-range of undergraduate, graduate and professional degrees.
When will I have access to the lectures and assignments?
To access the course materials, assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid. The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
What will I get if I subscribe to this Specialization?
When you enroll in the course, you get access to all of the courses in the Specialization, and you earn a certificate when you complete the work. Your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile.
Is financial aid available?
Yes. In select learning programs, you can apply for financial aid or a scholarship if you can’t afford the enrollment fee. If fin aid or scholarship is available for your learning program selection, you’ll find a link to apply on the description page.
