This course features Coursera Coach! A smarter way to learn with interactive, real-time conversations that help you test your knowledge, challenge assumptions, and deepen your understanding as you progress through the course. Take your Java programming expertise to the next level by mastering advanced language features and modern concurrency techniques used in enterprise-grade applications. This course equips you with the skills to write scalable, maintainable, and high-performance Java programs through generics, file handling, serialization, multithreading, synchronization, and concurrent programming frameworks. You will gain practical knowledge that strengthens your ability to build robust backend systems and optimize application performance. The course begins with advanced Java concepts such as generics and enumerations, helping you create reusable, type-safe, and cleaner code structures. You will explore practical implementations of generic classes and methods while learning how to avoid common pitfalls developers face when using generics. The course then introduces Java IO and file handling concepts, including input/output streams, serialization, and efficient data processing techniques used in real-world applications. As the course progresses, you will dive deeply into multithreading and concurrency. You will learn thread creation and management, synchronization, thread communication, interruption handling, thread pools, atomic variables, and thread-local storage. Advanced frameworks such as Executor and Fork/Join will help you understand how modern Java applications handle parallel task execution efficiently and safely. This course is ideal for intermediate Java learners, software developers, backend engineers, and students seeking to strengthen their understanding of concurrent programming and advanced Java development. Learners should have prior knowledge of core Java concepts, object-oriented programming, and basic application development. The difficulty level of this course is Intermediate. By the end of the course, you will be able to design reusable generic components, manage file operations and serialization, implement safe multithreaded applications, and utilize advanced concurrency frameworks to improve application performance and scalability.

Syllabus

Generics

In this module, we will explore the fundamentals of Java Generics and their role in building scalable applications. You will learn how to create generic classes and methods, apply them in practical programming scenarios, and understand common pitfalls to write robust, reusable, and type-safe code.

Enumerations

In this module, we will learn how Java Enumerations simplify the management of constant values in applications. You will explore how to define and use enums in different programming scenarios while understanding how they improve code clarity, structure, and reliability.

Input/Output (IO) and File Handling

In this module, we will explore Java’s Input/Output system and file handling capabilities. You will learn how to work with streams, manage files, process binary and character data efficiently, and implement serialization techniques for object persistence and data transfer.

Threads and Concurrency

In this module, we will dive into Java’s powerful multithreading and concurrency features for building responsive and scalable applications. You will learn how to create, manage, synchronize, and coordinate threads effectively while exploring advanced frameworks, thread safety techniques, and performance optimization strategies in concurrent programming.
