About the content:

We are looking for an instructor to develop our Introduction to Java course. 

This interactive Introduction to Java course, based on Java LTS, is tailored specifically for beginners with no previous programming experience, targeting those pursuing software or data engineering careers. This course introduces fundamental concepts, ranging from writing code comments and executing arithmetic operations to exploring Java's primitive and non-primitive data types. Learners will learn to manage information by declaring variables and employing a variety of data structures. They will understand comparison operators and use them interactively to execute code based on certain conditions. The course concludes with an exploration of for and while loops as well as switch statements.

We are looking to begin development in end of February.
