    Study Notes

    Overview of Java

    • Java is a high-level, class-based, object-oriented programming language designed for "write once, run anywhere" portability.
    • The Java Virtual Machine (JVM) is crucial for executing Java bytecode on various platforms without recompilation.
    • Java is used for diverse applications—enterprise applications, mobile applications (Android), and web applications.

    Core Concepts

    • Objects: Java centers around objects that encapsulate data (attributes) and methods (functions) for data manipulation.
    • Classes: Classes are blueprints for creating objects, defining object structure and behavior.
    • Methods: Methods are actions objects perform, containing the code for specific tasks.
    • Variables: Variables hold data within objects, possessing various data types.
    • Data Types: Java supports primitive types (int, float, boolean) and reference types (objects).
    • Control Flow: Control flow uses conditional statements (if-else, switch) and loops (for, while, do-while) to manage program execution.
    • Arrays and Collections: Java uses arrays for storing data of the same type and Collections classes (like ArrayList, LinkedList) for managing object collections.

    Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) Principles

    • Encapsulation: Bundling data and methods within a class, hiding implementation details.
    • Inheritance: Creating new classes (subclasses) based on existing classes (superclasses) to reuse code and establish "is-a" relationships. Subclasses inherit attributes and methods from superclasses.
    • Polymorphism: Objects can take on many forms. Methods with the same name can behave differently depending on the object type—often achieved via method overriding.
    • Abstraction: Simplifying complex systems by hiding irrelevant details, showcasing only necessary information. Interfaces are crucial abstraction tools in Java.

    Java Development Tools and Technologies

    • Java Development Kit (JDK): The complete software package for developing Java applications, including the compiler, libraries, and tools.
    • Integrated Development Environments (IDEs): IDEs like Eclipse, IntelliJ IDEA, and NetBeans offer user-friendly interfaces for Java development, including coding, debugging, and testing.
    • Java API: A large library of pre-written classes and interfaces for various functionalities.

    Core Java Syntax

    • Declaration: Statements define variables and methods, including return types.
    • Operators: Operators (arithmetic, logical, comparison, bitwise) perform operations on variables.
    • Control Structures: Conditional statements and loops.
    • Object Creation: Creating objects uses the new keyword and constructors.
    • Access Modifiers: Keywords (public, private, protected) manage the visibility of class members.
    • Exception Handling: The try-catch-finally blocks manage errors and exceptions during program execution.

    Java Data Structures

    • Java provides built-in data structures (ArrayList, LinkedList, HashMap, HashSet). Each structure is suited for specific data management tasks.
    • The Collection Framework is vital for data management.
      • Interfaces: Abstract data structures (List, Set, Map).
      • Classes: Concrete implementations (ArrayList, LinkedList, HashMap, HashSet).

    Other Important Concepts

    • Generics: Allow classes and methods to work with different data types without compromising type safety.
    • Lambda Expressions: Compact way to represent anonymous functions.
    • Streams: Functional operations for collections (filtering, mapping, reducing) without modifying the original collection.
    • Concurrency: Handling multiple tasks concurrently using threads, locks, and synchronization.

    Development Process

    • Writing Code: Java code in appropriate editor use
    • Compilation: Transforming source code (.java) into bytecode (.class) using javac.
    • Execution: Running bytecode on the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) java.

    Common Java Frameworks

    • Spring Framework: A widely used, robust framework for developing enterprise applications, offering dependency injection, transaction management, and data access components.
    • Hibernate: A framework for object-relational mapping (ORM) to simplify database interactions in applications.
    • Servlets: Components for handling web browser requests and responses within web applications.
