What You Will Learn
Through extensive practice, you will gain deep proficiency across all core and advanced topics in Java development that are commonly evaluated during technical interviews. The course is organized into the following six comprehensive sections:
Section 1: Core Java Fundamentals
Build a strong foundation in Java programming with coverage of data types, variables, operators, control statements, arrays, strings, object-oriented programming (classes, objects, inheritance, polymorphism), abstraction, encapsulation, and exception handling.
Section 2: Advanced Java Concepts
Explore advanced language features including the Collections Framework, generics, multithreading, file input/output operations, serialization, annotations, enums, wrapper classes, autoboxing, memory management, garbage collection, and modern Java 8+ enhancements such as lambda expressions, Stream API, and functional interfaces.
Section 3: Java Concurrency & Multithreading
Gain expertise in concurrent programming with topics such as thread lifecycle, synchronization techniques, inter-thread communication using wait/notify, thread pools and executors, concurrent collections (e.g., ConcurrentHashMap, BlockingQueue), atomic variables, the Fork/Join framework, CompletableFuture, and issues like deadlock, livelock, and visibility using volatile and synchronized keywords.
Section 4: Java Design Patterns & Best Practices
Learn how to write clean, scalable, and maintainable code by mastering creational design patterns (Singleton, Factory, Builder), structural patterns (Adapter, Decorator, Proxy), behavioral patterns (Observer, Strategy, Command), SOLID principles, common anti-patterns, refactoring techniques, UML diagrams, unit testing with JUnit and Mockito, logging practices, and performance optimization strategies.
Section 5: Java Frameworks & Libraries
Get hands-on with industry-standard frameworks and tools including Spring Framework (IoC, DI), Spring Boot (auto-configuration, starters), Spring MVC, Spring Data JPA, Spring Security (authentication, authorization, JWT), Hibernate ORM (session, transactions, caching), RESTful web services, Java Servlets and JSP, and widely used libraries such as Jackson, Lombok, Apache Commons, and SLF4J.
Section 6: Java Tools, Build & Deployment
Understand the complete development lifecycle with topics on build automation using Maven and Gradle, version control with Git, continuous integration and deployment using Jenkins and GitHub Actions, IDEs like IntelliJ IDEA and Eclipse, JVM architecture (classloader, runtime data areas, JIT compilation), packaging formats (JAR, WAR), JDBC for database connectivity, and deployment environments including Docker, Kubernetes, Tomcat, and cloud platforms.

Sample Question with Explanation
Question:
Which of the following statements about the String class in Java is true?
A) String objects are mutable and can be modified after creation
B) Strings created using double quotes are stored in the heap only
C) The == operator compares the content of two string objects
D) String uses constant pool memory to improve efficiency
Correct Answer: D) String uses constant pool memory to improve efficiency
Explanation:
In Java, the String class is immutable and utilizes the String Constant Pool, a special memory area within the heap (since Java 7), to store string literals. When a string is created using double quotes ("hello"), the JVM checks whether an identical string already exists in the pool. If it does, the existing reference is reused, improving memory efficiency.
Option A is incorrect because String objects are immutable — they cannot be altered once created.
Option B is false — strings created with double quotes are placed in the string constant pool, which is part of the heap but managed separately for reuse.
Option C is wrong — the == operator compares object references, not their contents; .equals() must be used to compare string values.
Therefore, the correct answer is D.
Another Sample Question
Question:
What is the primary difference between ArrayList and CopyOnWriteArrayList when iterating over them while modifying?
A) Both throw ConcurrentModificationException if modified during iteration
B) ArrayList allows modification during iteration while CopyOnWriteArrayList does not
C) ArrayList throws ConcurrentModificationException if structurally modified during iteration, whereas CopyOnWriteArrayList does not
D) There is no difference between the two
Correct Answer: C) ArrayList throws ConcurrentModificationException if structurally modified during iteration, whereas CopyOnWriteArrayList does not
Explanation:
ArrayList implements a fail-fast iterator. If the list is structurally modified (add, remove, clear) during iteration, except through the iterator’s own remove() method, it throws a ConcurrentModificationException.
In contrast, CopyOnWriteArrayList is a thread-safe list where every modification creates a new copy of the underlying array. Iterators operate on a snapshot of the list taken at the start of iteration. Therefore, they do not reflect modifications made after the iterator was created and never throw ConcurrentModificationException.
Hence, option C accurately describes this behavior.
