Java has reigned as one of the most popular programming languages and continues to hold that position because of its 'write once, run anywhere' (WORA) method.Java is a general-purpose computer programming language that is concurrent, class-based, object-oriented and has been designed to create applications that run on Java virtual machine (JVM) regardless of computer architecture.

Java Programming Language was written by James Gosling at Sun Microsystems for the Sun Microsystems' Java platform. It is currently used in many different applications including for writing Android apps, writing front end and back end systems, Java web applications, software tools, etc.

It can also be used to create games, something you will learn how to do in this mini course. Get started with this amazing programming language in this short tutorial. Learn how to manipulate images, create animation and update positions of a game piece. This Java course will include technologies such as user input and collisions, Threads and KeyListeners.

By the end of this course, you will be ready to start programming using Java. So, let’s make you a better Java programmer.
