This is the third course in the Amazon Junior Software Developer Professional Certificate. In this course, you will gain a deep understanding of various fundamental data structures and algorithms essential for building efficient and scalable software solutions. Starting with Advanced Data Structures, you'll explore arrays, ArrayLists, linked lists, stacks, queues, and maps, understanding their implementations, operations, advantages, and use cases. Moving on to Searching and Sorting Algorithms, you'll manipulate essential algorithms like linear and binary search, as well as various sorting algorithms, including bubble sort, insertion sort, selection sort, merge sort, and quick sort.
You will grasp the theoretical concepts and implement these algorithms in Java, gaining hands-on experience in algorithmic problem-solving. Additionally, you will be introduced to basic testing methodologies using JUnit testing, test cases, and test-driven development, ensuring the quality and reliability of your code. By the end of this course, you will be equipped with the knowledge and skills required to design efficient algorithms, manipulate complex data structures, and write robust, high-performance Java applications After completing this course, you’ll be able to: • Identify and implement basic data structures and algorithms in Java. • Analyze the efficiency and performance of data structures and algorithms in Java applications. • Identify and apply principles of recursion in Java to solve complex problems. • Implement search and sorting algorithms in Java to optimize data processing and retrieval.
In this module, you'll delve into fundamental data structures in Java, including Arrays, ArrayLists, LinkedLists, Stacks, and Queues. You'll start by understanding the basics of Arrays, focusing on their efficiency and limitations. Then, you'll explore ArrayLists and LinkedLists to learn how these dynamic data structures offer flexibility in managing collections of data. You'll also cover Stacks and Queues, mastering their use in scenarios that require Last-In-First-Out (LIFO) and First-In-First-Out (FIFO) operations, respectively. This module equips you with essential skills to effectively implement and utilize these data structures in real-world applications.

This Professional Certificate is designed for aspiring junior software developers who are looking to kickstart their careers in the tech industry. It is also for current professionals that are seeking greater understanding of software development fundamentals.
This program is for you:
- If you are interested in the field of software development or just beginning to work in junior software development roles.
- If you want to switch or start a career in the field of software development
- If you already work in software development and are seeking a greater understanding of software development fundamentals, earning an Amazon software development certificate can help advance your career or help you address gaps in your knowledge, skills, and abilities.
While prior coding experience is beneficial, it's not mandatory. A basic understanding of programming concepts and a willingness to learn are recommended.
The primary advantage lies in acquiring practical skills and knowledge essential for launching a career as a junior software developer. This Professional Certificate not only equips you with the expertise needed for entry-level roles but also provides a recognized certification, bolstering your credibility within the industry. This credential offers hands-on learning experiences under the guidance of seasoned professionals.
A junior software developer usually supports software application design, development, and maintenance while receiving guidance from senior developers, making them suitable candidates for internships or apprenticeships.
With the skills acquired from this Professional Certificate, you can qualify for entry-level positions such as junior software developer, software engineer, or programmer in diverse industries, making you an ideal candidate for internships or apprenticeships.
To be considered for an Amazon internship post completion of this course, you should be a current undergraduate student, preferably in a math or technology-related major.
Yes, this course is entirely online, allowing you to study at your own pace from anywhere with an internet connection. You can access your lessons, readings, and assignments anytime and anywhere via the web or your mobile device.
Yes. We highly recommend taking the courses of each certificate program in the order they are presented. The content in the courses builds on information from earlier courses. The final course contains a capstone project that assesses your knowledge of the content covered in the previous courses. As such, it makes the most sense to take the courses in the order they are presented.
It typically takes 3 months to complete the 7 courses. But some learners may go through the content faster.
Once you've completed the Amazon Junior Software Developer Professional Certificate, you will possess the essential skills and knowledge to thrive in this dynamic field. These skills enhance your practical experience and career prospects in software development, ensuring you are well-prepared to tackle challenges in both entry-level roles and internships.
