Master Java fundamentals on a live, practitioner-led course built for engineers stepping into professional software development.
View Course SyllabusThis Introduction to Java Programming course gives you a working command of one of the most widely used languages in enterprise software. Over six four-hour live sessions, you learn the core principles every Java developer needs: variables, control flow, data structures, object-oriented programming, collections, streams, and exception handling.
The course is built for developers and technical professionals new to Java, including engineers transitioning from another language, analysts moving into software development, and team members joining Java-based codebases.
Unlike off-the-shelf e-learning, the course is taught live by working engineers from Mallon Associates. Every session is hands-on, with real coding exercises, real-time feedback, and time between sessions to apply what you’ve learned.
By the end of the six sessions, you’ll be able to read, understand, and write Java code with confidence, and have a foundation strong enough to keep developing your skills in any professional Java environment.
Mallon delivers custom Java programmes for engineering teams at banks and fintech firms, built around your codebase and your stack.

Each topic is taught through practical coding exercises so you can apply what you learn immediately.
This course is built for:
No prior Java experience is required. Some basic programming experience in any language is expected.
his course does not assume prior knowledge of Java. Some basic programming experience in any language (Python, JavaScript, Go, Scala, C#, C++, or similar) is expected.
For those already familiar with Java, you may consider our Java In Depth course as an alternative.
The course combines six four-hour instructor-led teaching sessions with practical coding exercises.
Participants write and run Java programs throughout the training, applying concepts immediately and building confidence with the language. The week between sessions gives time to practice and consolidate, so concepts land and stick.
By the end of the course, you’ll be able to:
The course gives you a foundation strong enough to continue developing your Java skills in any professional setting, whether that’s a financial system, a backend platform, or a custom internal application
ava is the foundation of most enterprise software running today. It powers the trading systems at the largest investment banks, the risk engines behind global insurance providers, the core platforms inside fintech firms, and the backend services running at every major technology company.
Learning Java gives you a route into:
Java is maintained by Oracle Corporation and continues to evolve, with modern features like Records, Streams, and pattern matching built into recent releases. This course covers the language as it’s used today, not the Java of fifteen years ago.
Mallon Associates has been training developers and engineering teams since 1990. Our courses are designed and delivered by working engineers, not career trainers. Every instructor has built and run production systems in financial services, technology, and enterprise environments.
We work with engineering leaders at tier-one investment banks, hedge funds, and fintech firms, plus public courses for individual developers building their skills.
Mallon has trained thousands of graduate and lateral hires across tier-one banks and fintech firms since 1990, including Morgan Stanley, Citadel, Deutsche Bank, Wise, and G-Research. Engineers who have come through Mallon programmes go on to build the trading systems, risk engines, and core banking platforms running at the largest financial institutions.
Mallon Associates has been our partner for developer training for more than three decades. Its experience-led, embedded approach ensures that our graduates contribute from Day One, and continue to grow with the firm.
