Duration: 1 Hour
Level: Beginner
Format: Live Human Online Event with Guided Demonstrations
IDE Used: IntelliJ IDEA


Event Schedule (1 Hour)

  • Welcome & Quick Review
    Connecting concepts from Java Programming Event I

  • Topic 1: Variables and Data Types
    How Java stores and works with information

  • Topic 2: Program Flow and Decision Making
    Using conditions to control execution

  • Topic 3: Live Demonstration
    Following Java program execution step by step

  • Wrap-Up, Q&A & Next Steps


Event Description

Java Programming Event II builds on the foundational understanding of Java by focusing on how Java programs store data and make decisions. In this live session, you’ll learn how Java uses variables and data types to manage information and how program flow is controlled through conditional logic.

This event emphasizes clarity and structure, helping you understand how Java code executes rather than memorizing syntax. You’ll see how values move through a program, how decisions affect outcomes, and how Java enforces type safety to reduce errors.

By the end of the hour, Java programs will feel more predictable and readable, and you’ll be well prepared for deeper, hands-on Java training.


Topic Areas

Topic 1: Variables and Core Data Types

Learn how Java uses variables to store data and how different data types (such as numbers, text, and boolean values) affect program behavior. We’ll discuss why Java requires explicit types and how that improves reliability.

Topic 2: Program Flow and Conditional Logic

Explore how Java programs make decisions using conditional statements. You’ll see how execution paths change based on input and logic, forming the foundation of real-world applications.

Topic 3: Live Java Walkthrough

Watch a guided walkthrough of a simple Java program in IntelliJ IDEA, following execution step by step to see how variables and conditions interact during runtime.


Who This Event Is For

  • Attendees of Java Programming Event I

  • Beginners learning Java fundamentals

  • Developers transitioning from scripting languages

  • Anyone wanting to understand how Java code flows


What You’ll Gain

  • Understanding of Java variables and data types

  • Insight into program flow and decision-making

  • Confidence reading basic Java code

  • Preparation for more advanced Java topics


Other Java Programming Events

This 1-hour event expands Java fundamentals.
Additional Java events build on this foundation by covering:

  • Loops and repetition

  • Methods and code organization

  • Object-oriented programming concepts

  • Working with collections and data

Java Programming Event II helps bridge the gap between basic syntax and meaningful Java program behavior.
