Differences between courses taken

So I've already made a Intro to Java course in another site but to reinforce my skills I've decided to do this one too before going deeper. So I've noticed that there are some differences in the way I used to print something in the other course and in this one.

Ex: Other course : System.out.println("Hello, my name is Rafael"); tree house course: console.printf("Hello, my name is Rafael");

Why is there this difference between courses? Isn't the same JAVA language?

There are some differences, but Treehouse will also use the System.out variant eventually (when we move out of the basics in the console).
