In our java bootcamp you will learn everything about AI a developer needs to know. From optimising your prompts to code generation with an AI agent.
Which jobs can I pursue after the bootcamp?
Folgende Berufe stehen dir nach dem Bootcamp zur Verfügung: Java Developer, Java Backend Developer, Java Full Stack Developer.
What are the job prospects after the Java Bootcamp?
Learning Java programming makes more sense than ever! German companies are desperately looking for skilled professionals. Especially large corporations are accelerating their digital transformation using Java, the programming language developed by Oracle. A university degree or distance-learning course in computer science is no longer the only way in — recruiters from both large corporations and startups are increasingly looking for team players who are motivated, quick to learn, and ready to hit the ground running without extensive onboarding.
I’ve never done a coding course before — is the Java Bootcamp still suitable for me, or do I need prior programming knowledge?
This is one of the most common concerns for beginners, and the good news is that the Java Bootcamp was designed with both first-timers and career changers in mind. You don’t need to have a computer science degree or years of coding under your belt to join. What you do need is:
- Basic digital literacy — being comfortable with using a computer, navigating folders, and handling everyday apps like browsers or spreadsheets.
- Logical thinking — since Java programming often requires breaking big problems into smaller steps, people who enjoy puzzles or structured tasks tend to adapt well.
- Commitment — bootcamps are intensive, which means you’ll spend anywhere from 12 to 16 weeks fully immersed in learning.
If you’re totally new, don’t worry — the program usually starts with f__undamentals of Java syntax__, simple input/output exercises, and building up gradually toward more advanced topics like object-oriented programming (OOP), databases, and frameworks like Spring Boot. Many past participants who started with zero coding experience now work as Junior Java Developers, QA Engineers, or Software Testers.
💡 Tip: If you’re nervous about the start, try a free online Java basics tutorial before joining. That way, you’ll already feel comfortable with concepts like “variables,” “loops,” or “if-statements” when the bootcamp begins.
