Java Topics to Learn Before Spring Boot

To effectively learn Spring Boot, you must have a strong understanding of the following Java topics:

1. **Core Java Fundamentals**


- OOP Concepts (Encapsulation, Inheritance, Polymorphism, Abstraction)
- Classes & Objects
- Interfaces & Abstract Classes
- Access Modifiers (private, protected, public, default)
- Static & Final Keywords
- Constructors & Overloading

2. **Exception Handling**
- try, catch, finally
- throw vs throws
- Custom Exceptions

3. **Collections Framework**
- List (ArrayList, LinkedList)
- Set (HashSet, TreeSet)
- Map (HashMap, LinkedHashMap, TreeMap)
- Iterators and Streams

4. **Multi-threading**
- Creating Threads (Thread class & Runnable interface)
- Synchronization
- Executor Framework

5. **Java 8+ Features**
- Lambda Expressions
- Streams API (Filtering, Mapping, Reducing)
- Functional Interfaces (Predicate, Consumer, Supplier, Function)
- Optional Class
- Method References

6. **JDBC (Java Database Connectivity)**


- Connecting to MySQL/PostgreSQL
- CRUD Operations in JDBC
- Using PreparedStatement
- Connection Pooling

7. **Annotations in Java**
- @Override, @Deprecated, @FunctionalInterface
- Custom Annotations

8. **Maven/Gradle Basics**
- Understanding pom.xml (dependencies, plugins)
- Running Java applications using Maven

9. **Servlets & JSP (Optional but useful for Spring MVC)**


- Servlets lifecycle (doGet, doPost)
- JSP basics

10. **REST APIs (Basic Understanding)**


- HTTP Methods (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE)
- JSON Serialization/Deserialization (Jackson or Gson)

### Why These Topics?


Spring Boot relies on these Java fundamentals, especially OOP, Collections, Multi-threading, and
Annotations. Without them, developers will struggle with dependency injection, REST APIs, and
database integration.
