## 🔍 Overview

This Java Programming Course provides a structured learning path to master Java development, from core fundamentals to advanced topics like concurrency, functional programming, and enterprise applications. The course combines theoretical knowledge with hands-on projects to ensure practical skill development.

## 📚 Course Structure

The course is organized into modules, each focusing on specific aspects of Java programming:

1. **Java Fundamentals**
- Java platform and environment setup
- Syntax, variables, and data types
- Control flow and basic operations

2. **Object-Oriented Programming**
- Classes and objects
- Inheritance and polymorphism
- Interfaces and abstract classes
- Encapsulation and information hiding

3. **Java Standard Library**
- Collections framework
- I/O and NIO operations
- Exception handling
- Date and time API

4. **Advanced Java Concepts**
- Generics and type safety
- Streams and functional programming
- Concurrency and multithreading
- Reflection and annotations

5. **Practical Applications**
- Building applications with JavaFX
- Database connectivity with JDBC
- RESTful services with Spring Boot
- Testing strategies with JUnit and Mockito

## ✅ Prerequisites

- Basic understanding of programming concepts
- Computer with minimum 8GB RAM (16GB recommended)
- Java Development Kit (JDK) 17 or higher
- IDE of your choice (IntelliJ IDEA, Eclipse, VS Code, etc.)
- Git for version control

## 🚀 Getting Started

1. Clone the repository:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/yourusername/java-programming-course.git
cd java-programming-course
```

2. Ensure you have the correct Java version:
```bash
java -version
```

3. Import the projects into your IDE of choice.

4. Follow the module directories sequentially or jump to specific topics as needed.

## 📝 Key Topics

- Java syntax and semantics
- Object-oriented design principles
- Memory management and optimization
- Functional programming paradigms
- Concurrent programming
- API design and implementation
- Design patterns and best practices
- Testing and debugging strategies
- Enterprise application development
- Modern Java features (Java 9-17+)

## 🏗️ Projects

Throughout the course, you'll work on several hands-on projects:

1. **Console-based Task Manager**
- Practice core Java concepts
- Implement basic file I/O

2. **Library Management System**
- Apply OOP principles
- Work with collections

3. **Multi-threaded Web Crawler**
- Implement concurrent programming
- Handle synchronization challenges

4. **RESTful API with Spring Boot**
- Create a full-stack application
- Connect to databases
