Java SE 8 Fundamentals|System Source

This Java SE 8 Fundamentals training introduces you to object-oriented programming using the Java language. Through hands-on exercises, you'll begin to build a baseline of knowledge to propel your career in development.

Write Java code that uses variables, arrays, conditional and loop constructs
Manipulate primitive numeric data and string data using Java operators
Create Java classes and use object references
Access the fields and methods of an object
Manipulate text data using the methods of the String and StringBuilder classes
Use casting without losing precision or causing errors
Declare, override, and invoke methods
Access and create static fields and methods
Use classes from the java.time and java.time.format packages to format and print the local date and time
Encapsulate a class using access modifiers and overloaded constructors
Define and implement a simple class hierarchy
Demonstrate polymorphism by implementing a Java Interface
Use a Predicate Lambda expression as the argument to a method
Handle a checked exception in a Java application
