Write, compile, and run Java programs using an integrated development environment (IDE).

Apply variables, operators, decision structures, and loops to solve programming problems.

Design and implement modular programs using methods and parameters.

Develop and use classes and objects following object-oriented programming principles.

Apply inheritance, polymorphism, and interfaces to extend program functionality.

Handle errors and exceptions to build robust, reliable applications.

Work with arrays, collections, and file I/O for data management in applications.

Introduction to Computers, Programming, and Java

Java Fundamentals – variables, data types, and operators

Decision-Making Structures – if statements, switch, and Boolean logic

Looping Structures – while, for, and do-while loops

Methods – modular program design, parameters, and return values

Arrays – single- and multi-dimensional arrays, searching, and sorting

Object-Oriented Programming Basics – defining classes, creating objects, constructors

Inheritance and Polymorphism – extending classes, overriding methods, interfaces

Exception Handling – detecting, throwing, and managing errors

File Input/Output – reading and writing data files in Java

Advanced OOP Concepts – abstract classes, packages, and encapsulation

Graphical User Interfaces (GUI) – event-driven programming and basic UI design

Collections Framework – ArrayList, HashMap, and advanced data structures

Recursion and Algorithm Design – problem-solving with recursive methods

Final Project – design and implementation of a complete Java application
