WT - Programming Fundamentals with Java - April 2025

With "Programming Fundamentals," students will begin to learn SoftUni's in-house curriculum for the comprehensive training of software engineers. The course addresses fundamental concepts in programming that are the basis for effective and quality learning in the professional modules. Students will build on the knowledge gained in the Programming Basics course and begin to use more complex programming techniques and structures such as: arrays, sheets, objects and classes. Additional technologies needed by any software developer will be studied, such as HTML and CSS, HTTP, bitwise operations, etc. The fundamentals of web development will be covered, as well as one of the most common technologies and tools, thus the course successfully builds students' awareness of upcoming professional modules and the knowledge they will gain from them to become successful software developers.

Skills which you will acquire

Basic skills in working with HTML and CSS
Handling the standard functionality of the programming language
Problem analysis and reduction to computer-executable steps
Working with linear data structures
Understanding the interconnection between different IT concepts
