• Variables and data types
• Operators
• Conditional statements
• Loops
• Methods
• Arrays
• Classes and objects
• Constructors
• Encapsulation
• Object-oriented programming
• Basic problem solving
• Programming exercises

Data Types
   ↓
Operators
   ↓
Conditions
   ↓
Loops
   ↓
Methods

Object-Oriented Programming

The repository also includes exercises involving:

Classes & Objects
       ↓
Constructors
       ↓
Encapsulation
       ↓
Object-Oriented Design

Purpose

The purpose of this repository is to strengthen my understanding of core Java programming through hands-on exercises rather than only studying theory.

These fundamentals provide the foundation for working with larger Java applications and frameworks such as Spring Boot.

Technologies

• Java
• IntelliJ IDEA

Learning Progress

This repository represents an ongoing learning process. New exercises and projects may be added as I continue developing my Java skills.

Related Learning

After building a foundation in Java, the next areas of focus include:

• Java Collections
• Exception Handling
• Generics
• Streams and Lambdas
• Multithreading
• File I/O
• Unit Testing
• Spring Framework
• Spring Boot
