Overview
In this 3-hour course, you’ll explore the core object-oriented principles of Java, from classes and objects to inheritance, polymorphism, abstraction, and encapsulation. You’ll also connect these concepts to the JVM memory model, object identity, and the Collections Framework, building a solid foundation for writing robust, elegant, and high-performance Java applications.
What I will be able to do after this course
- Identify and use the building blocks of Java programs.
- Apply the four pillars of Object-Oriented Programming in practice.
- Implement inheritance, polymorphism, abstract classes, and interfaces.
- Analyze the JVM memory model and its impact on performance.
- Leverage equals(), hashCode(), and the Java Collections Framework effectively.
