Java Programming Guide: Beginner to Advanced

Introduction to Java

Java is a high-level, class-based, object-oriented programming language that is designed to have as

few implementation dependencies as possible. It is widely used for developing mobile apps, web

apps, desktop apps, games, and more.

Getting Started with Java

1. Install Java Development Kit (JDK): Download it from Oracle's official site.

2. Set up your development environment (IDE): Use IDEs like IntelliJ IDEA, Eclipse, or NetBeans.

3. Write your first Java program:

```java

public class HelloWorld {

public static void main(String[] args) {

System.out.println("Hello, World!");

```

Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) Concepts

Java is built around OOP principles. Key concepts include:

1. Classes and Objects

2. Inheritance

3. Polymorphism

4. Abstraction

5. Encapsulation
Java Programming Guide: Beginner to Advanced

Advanced Topics

1. Multithreading: Use threads to perform multiple tasks simultaneously.

2. Generics: Ensure type safety in collections.

3. Lambda Expressions: Introduced in Java 8 to simplify coding.

4. Stream API: For functional-style operations on collections.

5. Spring Framework: A powerful framework for enterprise-level applications.

Inheritance

Inheritance allows a class to inherit properties and methods from another class.

Example:

```java

class Animal {

void eat() {

System.out.println("This animal eats food.");

class Dog extends Animal {

void bark() {

System.out.println("The dog barks.");

public class Main {

public static void main(String[] args) {


Java Programming Guide: Beginner to Advanced

Dog dog = new Dog();

dog.eat(); // Inherited method

dog.bark(); // Specific method

```

Polymorphism

Polymorphism allows one interface to be used for a general class of actions.

Example:

```java

class Animal {

void sound() {

System.out.println("This animal makes a sound.");

class Cat extends Animal {

void sound() {

System.out.println("The cat meows.");

class Dog extends Animal {


Java Programming Guide: Beginner to Advanced

void sound() {

System.out.println("The dog barks.");

public class Main {

public static void main(String[] args) {

Animal a;

a = new Cat();

a.sound(); // Cat's sound

a = new Dog();

a.sound(); // Dog's sound

```

Abstraction

Abstraction hides implementation details and only exposes functionality.

Example:

```java

abstract class Shape {

abstract void draw();

}
Java Programming Guide: Beginner to Advanced

class Circle extends Shape {

void draw() {

System.out.println("Drawing a Circle");

public class Main {

public static void main(String[] args) {

Shape shape = new Circle();

shape.draw();

```

Encapsulation

Encapsulation restricts direct access to fields and methods to protect data.

Example:

```java

class Employee {

private String name;

private int salary;

public String getName() {


Java Programming Guide: Beginner to Advanced

return name;

public void setName(String name) {

this.name = name;

public int getSalary() {

return salary;

public void setSalary(int salary) {

this.salary = salary;

public class Main {

public static void main(String[] args) {

Employee emp = new Employee();

emp.setName("John");

emp.setSalary(50000);

System.out.println("Name: " + emp.getName());

System.out.println("Salary: " + emp.getSalary());
