Chapter 1: Introduction to Java
Java is a high-level, object-oriented programming language developed by Sun Microsystems. It is
platform-independent thanks to the Java Virtual Machine (JVM), allowing code to run anywhere Java is
supported.
Chapter 2: Setting Up Java Environment
To begin Java development, install the Java Development Kit (JDK) and configure the environment
variables. IDEs like IntelliJ IDEA and Eclipse are commonly used for Java programming.
Chapter 3: Variables and Data Types
Java has statically-typed variables. Common data types include int, double, boolean, and char. Java
also provides non-primitive types such as String, Arrays, and user-defined classes.
Chapter 4: Control Flow Statements
Control flow in Java is managed through if-else statements, switch cases, loops (for, while, do-while),
and break/continue statements, allowing flexible logic control.
Chapter 5: Object-Oriented Concepts
Java is fundamentally object-oriented. Core principles include encapsulation, inheritance,
polymorphism, and abstraction. These allow modular, maintainable, and reusable code.
Chapter 6: Classes and Objects
Classes are blueprints for objects in Java. Objects are instances of classes and can hold both state
(fields) and behavior (methods).
Chapter 7: Exception Handling
Java provides robust error handling using try-catch blocks, throw, throws, and finally keywords. This
ensures that errors are managed gracefully during execution.
Chapter 8: Java Collections Framework
Java Collections include Lists, Sets, Maps, and Queues. These classes are part of the java.util package
and provide dynamic data structures to store and manipulate groups of objects.
Chapter 9: Multithreading in Java
Java supports multithreading, allowing multiple threads to run concurrently. This improves performance
in applications like games, servers, and simulations.
Chapter 10: Conclusion
Java remains a powerful and versatile language used in enterprise software, Android apps, web
applications, and beyond. Its strong community and vast ecosystem make it a key tool for developers.
