Java is a powerful, multi-platform programming language used for a number of professional and commercial applications—including GMail, every Android app, the Android operating system itself, Minecraft, and more! Java is a great choice when it comes to kids coding languages, and is a great avenue for beginners to dive into computer science.
Used by over 5.5 billion devices worldwide, Java is one of the most popular and versatile programming languages that opens many, many doors for teens. Java, a sophisticated programming language that’s still beginner-friendly, is the perfect springboard for the AP computer science exam, building complex systems, creating apps, and much more.
