What you'll learn

Large Java programs don't "live" in a single file. In this course, Java SE Foundations: Classes, Packages, and Access Control, you'll learn to organize and encapsulate code.

First, you'll explore the difference between instance and static class members. Next, you'll discover how one can move classes into different packages and how it affects the import statements, necessary for the code to compile. Finally, you'll learn the difference between different visibility modifiers and how they help improve class encapsulation.

When you’re finished with this course, you’ll have the skills and knowledge of Java class structure and access control needed to organize, protect, and maintain clean, modular Java applications.
