In this seminar you will

• Learn programming from scratch, in a object-oriented programming language, Java
• Learn basic concepts, such as variables, objects, loops, and If-conditions

This seminar will teach you everything you need to be able to play with Java, and how you set up a Integrated Development Environment(IDE). You will also get a sneak peek in visual Java-programming
