■■ Java Complete Roadmap
1. Basics of Java (Foundation)
• Introduction to Java (History, Features, JVM, JRE, JDK, Platform Independence)
• Java Program Structure, Compilation & Execution process
• Variables, Data Types, Type Casting, Operators
• Input/Output (Scanner, BufferedReader, [Link]/out)
2. Control Flow
• Decision Making: if, if-else, switch
• Loops: for, while, do-while, enhanced for-each
• Jump Statements: break, continue, return
3. Object-Oriented Programming (Core OOPs)
• Classes and Objects, Constructors & Overloading
• Methods & Method Overloading, this keyword
• Static Members, Access Modifiers
4. Inheritance & Polymorphism
• Inheritance Types, super keyword
• Method Overriding, Polymorphism
• final keyword, Abstract classes
• Interfaces & Functional Interfaces, Multiple Inheritance
5. Encapsulation & Packages
• Getters and Setters
• Java Packages ([Link], [Link], [Link], custom)
• import keyword, Access control
6. Exception Handling
• Checked & Unchecked Exceptions
• try, catch, finally, throw, throws
• Custom Exceptions, Exception Propagation
7. Strings & Arrays
• Arrays (1D, 2D, Jagged), Array operations
• String, StringBuffer, StringBuilder
• Wrapper Classes (Autoboxing & Unboxing)
8. Java Memory Management
• JVM Memory Structure: Method Area, Heap, Stack, PC Registers
• Garbage Collection, [Link](), finalize()
• Stack vs Heap, Reference Types
• Memory Leaks in Java
9. Collections Framework
• Collection Interfaces: List, Set, Queue, Map
• Implementations: ArrayList, LinkedList, HashSet, TreeSet, HashMap, TreeMap, etc.
• Iterators & Enhanced For Loop, Comparable & Comparator
10. Multithreading & Concurrency
• Creating Threads (Thread class, Runnable interface)
• Thread lifecycle & states, Synchronization
• Inter-thread communication (wait, notify, notifyAll)
• Executor framework, Concurrency utilities
11. File Handling & I/O Streams
• Byte Streams, Character Streams
• Buffered Streams, DataInput/DataOutput Streams
• Object Serialization & Deserialization
12. Java 8+ Features
• Lambda Expressions, Streams API
• Functional Interfaces, Method References
• Optional class, Default & Static methods
13. Advanced Java Concepts
• JDBC (CRUD with MySQL/Oracle)
• Networking (Socket, ServerSocket)
• Annotations, Reflection API, Generics
14. Memory Optimization & Best Practices
• Avoid memory leaks
• StringBuilder vs String
• Efficient use of Collections
• Profiling tools (VisualVM, JConsole)
15. Frameworks & Tools (Next Level)
• Spring Framework, Spring Boot
• Hibernate (ORM)
• Maven/Gradle (Build Tools)
• JUnit/TestNG (Unit Testing)
• Git/GitHub (Version Control)
