Want to start building powerful backend applications using Java Spring Boot? It all begins with a strong foundation in Java fundamentals. This Java course helps you master core concepts such as object-oriented programming (OOP), collections, exception handling, and Java 8 features, enabling you to confidently develop Spring Boot applications. You will also build the in-demand skills that recruiters look for and lay a solid foundation for a successful career in backend development. You will practice Java development using tools such as the JDK, JVM, and IDEs like IntelliJ IDEA or Eclipse, while understanding how Java applications run in real-world Spring Boot environments. You will begin by learning Java syntax, variables, data types, operators, input/output, and control statements used to build structured programs. You will also understand how the JDK, JRE, and JVM work together to compile and run Java applications. Next, you will explore object-oriented programming concepts including classes, objects, constructors, encapsulation, inheritance, and abstraction to build modular and reusable code. The course also covers Java exception handling, the Java Collections Framework, generics, and wrapper classes used to manage application data. Finally, you will learn modern Java features such as Lambda expressions, Streams API, Optional, multithreading, and annotations, which are widely used in Spring Boot development. By the end of this course, You will be able to write Java programs, Apply OOP concepts, Manage data using collections Use modern Java features for Spring Boot backend development. This course is ideal for beginner developers, students preparing for Spring Boot development, and backend developers strengthening Core Java skills for enterprise applications.

Syllabus

Java Basics & Programming Foundations

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.

Object-Oriented Thinking in Java

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.

Java Essentials Used in Spring

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.

Modern Java Features for Spring

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.
