This is an interactive course in Java for first-time programmers. It offers a scaffolding approach to learning, starting with the basics of computing and gradually progressing to fairly sophisticated problem solving such as binary search and insertion sort. All through this learning path, there are many assessment quizzes and programming activities to keep the learners engaged.

The course is divided into six modules. In the first module, the learners will know how to set up the Java programming environment, including an IDE, using Eclipse as an example. The next four modules cover variables, data types, control flow using iterations and decisions, and array handling. The last module focuses on understanding the overall process of program development, starting with design and then coding, compiling, executing, testing, and debugging.
