With Java being the most popular language for test automation, I decided to create a FREE course that teaches core Java! This course is a self-paced, online video course which includes tons of practical examples and also exercises for you to try on your own.
Many people who enter test automation start learning coding by using one of the automation frameworks like Selenium WebDriver. However, they struggle to do much beyond those API calls because they are missing the foundational programming skills.
Learning programming is much more than just learning some codes. It teaches you how to think logically. This is a key skill if you’re going to be a test automation engineer.
So because of this, in this free Java course, I teach you Java programming in general. It’s not limited to one test automation library. In fact, the material covered here is equivalent to what’s taught in a full semester of a Java university course. I cover the following:

With these skills, you can go on to do any coding, including test automation! After finishing this, you’ll be equipped to learn any automation library, whether it be for UI, API, performance, unit, etc.
Special thanks to Applitools for sponsoring this course so that I was able to offer it for free to you all!
Engaging Course
One of my students who was struggling is truly benefiting from this. He has never been more engaged!
I’m now ahead!
This course has gotten me ahead in my Java class and assignments, so thank you again 🙌🏾
Learned How to Structure Programming Problems
I have just wrapped up chapter 3 of your Java course and decided to go back to my python course on MIT, believing that what I’ve learnt from you so far on structuring the problem and gradually developing the solution step by step would help me solve my assignment without peaking into the solution and guess what??? It did!
I solved that assignment myself by structuring the problem and working through the solution step by step which is what I’ve learnt from your Java course. Just want to say thank you for putting such knowledgeable lecture out there for free. You have no idea how motivated and encouraged I am now.
Clear Introduction to Java
THANK YOU for this! It was so clear and helpful for me to go through this resource as a first introduction to Java.
Great Introduction to Programming
This course by Angie is amazing! I would even recommend to people wanting to learn c#! What a great intro into programming and Java.
Like Magic
I’m continuing through your Java course, and the way you explain things is like magic. I just had an AHA moment on something that I “kind of” understood, but now it makes perfect sense because of the steps/order you did things in! I’m so happy!!! THANK YOU!
I was running through it all yesterday to quickly refresh as much knowledge as I could for an unexpected Java interview. The course is so well crafted and is just an absolute masterpiece. I learned SO MUCH yesterday.
Better than Netflix
Angie Jones as instructor and the course content is more interesting than any series on Netflix. Too good, “Angie JAVA Jones” 🙂
Can’t Stop Talking About It
I can’t stop talking bout your delivery and content(so so on point) and hands-on activities.We say thank you!
Fun Approach
This Java programming course covers a lot of practical advice quickly in a fun way.
Great Teacher
I love how Angie teaches her Java course, diving right into writing code in IntelliJ and explaining good practices like meaningful variable names right from the start. Her perfect pacing lets me code along with her. I’m going to learn teaching skills too!
I’m programming!
I just wrote my first snippet of Java at the end of Chapter 2 of the Java Programming course and it worked on the first try! Chapter 3… Here I come! (I’m seriously excited about this!)
I got the job!
I used the Java course to help with an interview that I had. I am thankful and excited to report that I accepted an entry level developer position with said company and start in February! Thank you again Angie! I appreciate the work you do!
Thanks Angie Jones. This is a benefit having found you. Keep your good work shining.
Just started this course, but already excited. Thanks for sharing!
This is an excellent initiative, especially for people entering test automation who often skip core programming concepts and struggle later. I really like that the course focuses on Java fundamentals, OOP, and data structures instead of tying everything to a single automation tool. Building strong logical thinking and core Java skills makes learning frameworks like Selenium or API automation much easier. For learners who want to go beyond basics and apply these concepts in real-world scenarios, Java Real Time Projects Online Training from Ashok IT can be a great next step after a foundation like this. Thanks for making such high-quality Java learning accessible for free!
Very informative post! Choosing a Java course in 2026 is definitely a smart decision considering its strong demand in the job market
