There are 4 modules in this course

This module introduces the fundamental building blocks of Java programming and the structure of the Java platform. Learners explore the Java ecosystem, including the roles of the JDK, JRE, and JVM, while setting up a development environment and writing their first programs. The module then covers Java syntax, variables, operators, input/output, and essential control statements such as conditionals and loops. By the end of the module, learners will create simple Java programs that use structured logic to process input and produce output.

This module focuses on the core object-oriented principles that form the backbone of Java and modern backend frameworks. Learners examine how to design classes, create objects, and implement constructors and methods to model real-world behaviors. The module then explores encapsulation, inheritance, and polymorphism, demonstrating how these principles improve code organization and reusability. It concludes with abstraction and interface design, enabling learners to write flexible, maintainable code structures and design a small object-oriented program using these concepts.

This module explores practical Java tools and concepts frequently used in Spring-based development. Learners study Java’s exception-handling mechanisms, including try-catch structures and custom exceptions, to manage application errors effectively. The module also introduces the Java Collections Framework, focusing on lists, sets, and maps for structured data management. Finally, learners examine generics, wrapper classes, and autoboxing to ensure type-safe programming. By the end of the module, learners will implement a data-handling program that uses collections and structured error management.

This module introduces modern Java language features that make code more concise, expressive, and suitable for framework-based development. Learners begin with lambda expressions, streams, and the Optional class to process data using functional programming techniques. The module then provides an introduction to multithreading, covering thread creation, management, and safe concurrent execution. Finally, learners explore Java annotations and reflection concepts that underpin many Spring framework features. By the end of the module, learners will design a small Java component that uses functional programming and annotations to simplify application logic.
