Free Java Basics Course

Welcome to my free basic Java course. I made this course free in August 2017, so that I could focus on other areas related to Automation in Testing, however, I didn’t want all the years I’d spent becoming competent in Java to go to rest, so I made the course freely available.

This course was designed as a follow on from my Basic Programming course and both are prerequisite to my free Selenium WebDriver course.

This is purely a text and code course, I’m going to be creating some supporting videos to this course that will be available on the Ministry of Testing’s online learning platform, The Dojo.
