Java Jumpstart: The Essentials

An intensive day that quickly makes participants productive in Java.

Expected Outcome

You gain confidence in writing, compiling, and running professional Java code.

Target Audience

For developers needing a fast and stable start in the modern Java ecosystem.

Prerequisites

Prior experience with another programming language is recommended for pace.

Curriculum & Highlights

→ JVM & JDK Architecture

→ Variables & Data Types

→ Control Flow & Logic

→ Loops & Iteration

→ Method Design & Structure

Detailed Description

Starting the journey in Java can feel overwhelming due to configuration and strict syntax. Without a guided start, it's easy to get bogged down in technical details instead of focusing on actual business logic and programming craftsmanship in your daily projects today. This workshop eliminates the learning curve through Active Learning pedagogy where practical work is at the center. I guide you through the entire process from installation to variables and program structure. The day concludes with you having built your first real application and established a solid understanding of how the JVM works with modern standards. We create a stable foundation for professional development that prepares you for more advanced topics and architectural choices in the future here today in this course.

Expertise through Active Learning

Java and the Spring Framework have been my core focus for over 20 years. Today, my mission is primarily to help organizations step into the future by integrating intelligent agents and AI-driven features into modern Java systems.

Actlea stands for Active Learning – the philosophy that programming is best learned by writing code, not by watching slides. My workshops focus on intensive, hands-on exercises designed to solve real-world problems.

I deliver proven training concepts globally across all timezones. While I specialize in remote delivery, I love to travel for onsite workshops. My modules are ready for immediate impact but can be tailored to your team's specific requirements.

Active Learning in practice

See how my expertise has helped developers master the tech stack.

"I learned a lot on Andreas course! He is helpful and educational and I appreciated how he could easily point me in the right direction on projects when I got stuck, without giving the whole "answer". It did a lot for my problem solving skills and I got better at debugging the code during the course. I also appreciated that he was always positive and supportive in learning! Thanks Andreas!"

"Andreas is a knowledgeable, patient and pedagogical teacher with a fantastic ability to meet all students individually. In addition, with an incredible enthusiasm and optimism that rubs off on the whole group!"

"Andreas has great energy and a good way of teaching. He could sense if we could move forward faster or needed to go through something a little more. I wish my previous teachers had been more like Andreas."

"With my previous experience as a product owner, I wanted to take the step to retrain myself and become a programmer. The assignment fell on Andreas during an incredibly rewarding 12-week course focusing on Java. I began from scratch as I have never programmed before. After completing the course, I feel confident in being able to take on work as a Java developer."

"Andreas is an incredibly competent person with a lot of positive energy. I wish we had more weeks together because I learned an incredible amount from him and really appreciated his way of teaching."

"What makes Andreas such a good teacher is that his understanding of the subject is so clearly visible. If you ask a question that only scratches the surface of a problem, you can be sure that you will get an answer where Andreas makes sure that you not only understand the short answer, but also a developing answer where he explains why it works this way and what the underlying structure of this is. Andreas has a way of breaking down even more complex problems into more manageable pieces for us students."

"Andreas always showed great commitment to his learning and was always happy and energetic. You felt that you could always ask him for help when you needed it and looked forward to the days when you had training with him as a teacher."

"Andreas is a real spreader of joy, and it is clear that he loves to teach. The Java program was the most intensive I have done in terms of education, but Andreas pedagogy, humor and knowledge made the time fly by."
