To start coding in Java, you should know the following key concepts:

1. **Basic Syntax**: Understand how to declare variables, use data types, and write basic
statements like loops and conditionals.

2. **Object-Oriented Programming (OOP)**: Learn about classes and objects, inheritance,


polymorphism, and encapsulation. These are fundamental concepts in Java.

3. **Java Standard Library**: Familiarize yourself with the Java API (Application Programming
Interface) to understand how to use built-in classes and methods for common tasks.

4. **Exception Handling**: Learn how to use try-catch blocks to handle exceptions and errors in
your code.

5. **Input and Output (I/O)**: Understand how to read from and write to files, and how to use the
console for input and output operations.

6. **Collections Framework**: Learn about collections such as lists, sets, and maps, and how to
use them to store and manipulate data.

7. **Generics**: Understand how to use generics to create classes, interfaces, and methods that
operate on types parameterized by other types.

8. **Concurrency**: Learn how to create and manage threads, synchronize access to shared
resources, and use the java.util.concurrent package for concurrent programming.

9. **Lambda Expressions**: Understand how to use lambda expressions to write more concise
and readable code, especially when working with collections and streams.

10. **IDE (Integrated Development Environment)**: Get familiar with an IDE like IntelliJ IDEA,
Eclipse, or NetBeans, which can help you write, debug, and run Java code more efficiently.

11. **Build Tools**: Learn how to use build tools like Maven or Gradle to manage dependencies
and build your Java projects.

12. **Testing**: Understand the basics of unit testing and how to write and run tests using
frameworks like JUnit.

13. **Version Control**: Learn how to use version control systems like Git to manage your code
and collaborate with others.

14. **Best Practices**: Familiarize yourself with Java coding standards and best practices to
write clean, maintainable, and efficient code.
15. **Continuous Learning**: Java is a vast language with many features and libraries. Stay
curious and keep learning new concepts and technologies to improve your skills as a Java
developer.
