This course will teach you advanced programming skills in Java using hands-on examples. By the end of this course you will have an understanding of the following:

• Searching – how to implement the main algorithms in computer science and the pros and cons of each

• Sorting – how to implement the main sorting algorithms in computer science and the pros and cons of each

• All 23 Gang of Four design patterns and how to implement each one in Java

• Professional industry code editor IntelliJ IDEA and the ability to navigate and code in this program. Code more efficiently and effectively using this FREE tool!

Section 1 of this course is the Introduction. We will learn the objectives of the course, a little bit about myself as an instructor, and download and install IntelliJ IDEA. After this section you will be ready to dive into the rest of the course material.

Section 2 is Searching Algorithms. We will learn about what searching is and gain a mastery of the most common searching algorithms in computer science like linear search, binary search, and interpolation search. By the end of this section you will have a complete understanding of searching and be able to implement searching and sorting algorithms using Java.

Section 3 is Sorting Algorithms. We will learn about what sorting is and gain a mastery of the most common sorting algorithms in computer science like selection sort, bubble sort, quick sort, merge sort, insertion sort, radix sort, head sort, and shell sort. By the end of this section you will have a complete understanding of sorting and be able to implement sorting algorithms using Java.

Section 4 is All 23 Gang of Four Design Patterns. We will learn about all 23 Gang of Four design patterns and how to implement each of them using Java code.

This section will cover the following creational design patterns:

• Abstract Factory

• Builder

• Factory Method

• Prototype

• Singleton

This section will cover the following structural design patterns:

• Adapter

• Bridge

• Composite

• Decorator

• Facade

• Flyweight

• Proxy

This section will cover the following behavioral design patterns:

• Chain of Responsibility

• Command

• Interpreter

• Iterator

• Mediator

• Memento

• Observer

• State

• Strategy

• Template Method

• Visitor

Section 5 is the Course Summary and Wrap-Up. This section will review what we learned in the course. By the end of this section you will feel accomplished at all of the hands-on skills you built up in the course.

By the end of this course you will have an advanced knowledge and programming skillset in the Java programming language.
