Java has nowadays become one of the most popular programming languages. It’s popularity can be traced to its object-oriented approach, robustness, security, ease of use – and possibility of writing OS-independent code.
Another of its strengths is an abundance of available libraries; throughout this course, participants will learn not only the syntax, but also the most useful libraries.
