Core Java Introduction, JDK, JVM, and JRE
Understand what Java is, why it is popular, and how the JDK, JVM, and JRE work together.
Chapter 2Java Syntax, Variables, and Data Types
Learn Java syntax rules, variable declarations, primitive and non-primitive types, and type conversion.
Chapter 3Java Operators, Control Flow, and Arrays
Understand operators, conditions, loops, branching logic, and array handling in Java.
Chapter 4Core Java OOP, Classes, and Objects
Build a strong foundation in object-oriented programming with classes, objects, constructors, and encapsulation.
Chapter 5Inheritance, Polymorphism, Abstraction, and Interfaces
Learn the major OOP pillars that shape reusable and extensible Java designs.
Chapter 6Exception Handling and String API
Learn how Java handles runtime problems and how to work effectively with `String` and related text operations.
Chapter 7Java Collections Framework
Understand `List`, `Set`, `Map`, and the core collection classes used in real Java development.
Chapter 8Generics, Lambda Expressions, and Streams
Learn modern Core Java features used to write cleaner, safer, and more expressive code.
Chapter 9File I/O and JDBC
Learn how Core Java reads and writes files and how Java applications communicate with relational databases using JDBC.
Chapter 10Multithreading and Concurrency
Understand threads, concurrency concepts, synchronization, and the basics of writing safe multi-threaded Java code.
Chapter 11JVM Internals, Memory Management, and Garbage Collection
Learn how Java memory works, what heap and stack mean, and why garbage collection matters.
Chapter 12Core Java Projects, Interview Preparation, and Roadmap
Strengthen your Core Java foundation with project ideas, interview-focused revision, and a realistic roadmap before moving into deeper professional Java topics.
Chapter 13Enums, Wrapper Classes, Annotations, and Reflection
Learn advanced language features and metadata-driven programming concepts that appear in enterprise Java, frameworks, and interviews.
Chapter 14Date Time API, NIO.2, Serialization, and Networking
Cover important Java platform APIs for dates and times, modern file handling, object persistence concepts, and basic socket-based communication.
Chapter 15Design Patterns, SOLID Principles, and Clean Code
Advance from writing working Java code to designing maintainable systems with better abstractions, composition, and responsibility boundaries.
Chapter 16Testing, Logging, Build Tools, and Modern Java Roadmap
Complete the Core Java track with habits and tooling that prepare students for real project work, team development, and the next stage of enterprise Java learning.
Chapter 17JVM Performance, Garbage Collection Tuning, and Profiling
Go deeper into performance analysis by learning how Java applications are measured, profiled, and tuned in real runtime environments.
Chapter 18Enterprise Architecture, APIs, Security, and Integration
Finish the Core Java journey with a stronger view of how Java skills connect to enterprise APIs, layered architecture, integration patterns, and secure production systems.
