Java Foundation Notes
Designed for AIR Class Level Teaching
1. Introduction to Java
• - What is Java?
• - History & Evolution
• - Features of Java (Platform Independent, OOP,
Robust, Secure)
• - JDK, JRE, and JVM — The Java Ecosystem
• - How Java Code is Executed (Compilation to
Bytecode)
2. Java Development Basics
• - Installing Java and Setting up IDE (e.g., IntelliJ
or Eclipse)
• - Writing First Java Program: HelloWorld.java
• - Java Program Structure (Class, main method,
statements)
• - Compiling and Running Java Programs
3. Variables, Data Types &
Operators
• - Primitive Data Types: int, float, char, boolean,
etc.
• - Non-Primitive Data Types: Arrays, Strings,
Objects
• - Variable Declaration & Scope
• - Operators: Arithmetic, Relational, Logical,
Assignment, Bitwise, Ternary
4. Control Flow Statements
• - if, if-else, switch
• - Loops: for, while, do-while
• - break and continue
• - Enhanced for-each loop
5. Object-Oriented Programming in
Java
• - Class & Object
• - Constructor & Constructor Overloading
• - this Keyword
• - Inheritance (Single, Multilevel, Hierarchical)
• - super Keyword
• - Method Overloading & Overriding
• - Polymorphism
• - Abstraction: abstract class and interface
• - Encapsulation & Access Modifiers
6. Arrays and Strings
• - Single & Multidimensional Arrays
• - Common Array Algorithms (Sum, Max/Min,
Search, Sort)
• - String Handling: String, StringBuilder,
StringBuffer
• - String Methods and Immutability
7. Exception Handling
• - What is an Exception?
• - Types of Exceptions: Checked vs Unchecked
• - Try-Catch-Finally
• - Throw vs Throws
• - Creating Custom Exceptions
8. Java Packages & Access
Modifiers
• - Built-in Packages (java.util, java.io, etc.)
• - Creating and Using Custom Packages
• - public, private, protected, default
9. Collections Framework (Basic
Intro)
• - List, Set, Map Interfaces
• - ArrayList, HashSet, HashMap
• - Iterating Collections (for-each, Iterator)
10. Java Input/Output (I/O)
• - Reading from Keyboard: Scanner,
BufferedReader
• - File Handling Basics: FileReader, FileWriter
• - Serialization (Intro Only)
11. Multithreading (Basic
Concepts)
• - Thread Lifecycle
• - Creating Threads: Thread Class and Runnable
Interface
• - synchronized, sleep(), join()
• - Thread Safety Basics
