Taught by Tim Buchalka, a developer with 35 years of experience, this Java Masterclass covers Java 11 and Java 17 in a course that's grown to well over a quarter of a million students.

What the course targets

  • Landing a first job in Java development or moving up to a senior role
  • Passing the Oracle Java Certification Exam
  • Building Java applications quickly and confidently

How it's structured

The course runs about 76 hours total, though finishing every section isn't required. The first seven sections cover Java Basics in roughly 14 hours and provide the essential foundation, while later sections, including JavaFX, are optional deeper dives for those who want them.

Why Java, and why this version

Java remains one of the most widely used languages for career opportunities, and while Java 8 is still common in the field, this course keeps pace with Java 11 so you're working with current tooling and IntelliJ IDEA throughout, with real-world coding challenges instead of just exam-style questions.

Who teaches Java Programming Masterclass covering Java 11 & Java 17? Udemy

Udemy thumbnail

Udemy is the largest open marketplace for online courses on the internet. Founded in 2010 by Eren Bali, Oktay Caglar, and Gagan Biyani and headquartered in San Francisco, the company went public on the Nasdaq in 2021 under the ticker UDMY. The platform hosts well over two hundred thousand courses across software development, IT and cloud, data science, design, business, marketing, and creative skills, taught by tens of thousands of independent instructors. Roughly seventy million learners use it worldwide, and the corporate arm — Udemy Business — supplies a curated subset of that catalog to enterprise customers.

Because Udemy is a marketplace rather than a single editorial publisher, the catalog is uneven by design. The strongest material lives in the long-form, project-based courses authored by working engineers — full-stack JavaScript, React, Node.js, Python data science, AWS, Docker and Kubernetes, mobile development with Flutter and React Native, and cloud certification preparation. The CourseFlix listing under this source is the slice of that catalog that has been mirrored here for offline-friendly viewing, organized by topic and updated as new releases land. Pricing on Udemy itself swings dramatically with the site's near-permanent sales, which is why the platform is best treated as a deep reference catalog: pick instructors with strong reviews and a track record of updating their material rather than buying on the headline price alone.
