About

This course is designed just for school students who want to learn Java from the ground up. No prior coding experience is needed. We'll go step by step, starting with the basics like printing text, variables, and loops—and then move on to building small, fun programs by yourself!
﻿
If you're in high school and curious about how apps, games, or websites are made, this class is your gateway. It’s beginner-friendly, school-focused, and packed with easy explanations and hands-on practice.
﻿
Let’s make coding exciting—and understandable!

Hey there! I’m Srimuralikrishna V Jandhyala—originally from Connecticut, USA, and now living in India. I recently graduated high school with a 4.0 GPA, and I’ve always had a deep love for computer programming and physics. I’ve learned the basics of Python and HTML, but I’ve really dived deep into core Java, which I love exploring and teaching to others. Right now, I’m taking the CS50 course from Harvard and a Computer Science + AI course from the University of Helsinki, just to keep pushing myself further. Teaching and sharing what I learn has become something I genuinely enjoy—it helps me grow while helping others too. When I’m not coding or studying, you’ll probably find me skating or cycling, just enjoying the ride and clearing my mind. Anyway, I wish you all the best in your learning journey—and I hope I can be a part of it along the way!

✅ for loop – repeat a set number of times 🔢
✅ do-while – always run once before checking ➰
﻿
Fun projects include:
 • Number patterns 🔷
 • Countdown timers ⏱️
 • Guess-the-number game 🎯
﻿
By the end, your programs will loop like pros—efficient, clean, and smart! 🧑‍💻⚡
