In this module, we will introduce the basics of classes in Java. You will learn how to define and structure classes, understand their role in OOP, and explore how they form the foundation for building robust programs.

What's included

1 video1 reading

In this module, we will explore objects in Java and their practical applications. You will learn how to instantiate, access, and manage objects while understanding their importance in representing real-world entities.

What's included

1 video1 assignment

In this module, we will dive deeper into complex class and object designs. You will learn advanced techniques to structure classes, modify behavior, and improve software flexibility and maintainability.

What's included

1 video1 assignment

In this module, we will cover constructors in Java. You will understand their purpose, learn to define them effectively, and see how they initialize objects to establish correct program behavior.

What's included

1 video1 assignment

In this module, we will explore Java interfaces. You will learn how to define, implement, and leverage them to create abstract, reusable designs that promote consistency and maintainability.

What's included

1 video1 assignment

In this module, we will examine abstract classes. You will learn how to design partially implemented classes, understand their role in OOP, and combine them with other constructs for flexible software architecture.

What's included

1 video1 assignment

In this module, we will combine interfaces with abstract classes. You will learn how to leverage both constructs to build adaptable and maintainable object-oriented systems in Java.

What's included

1 video1 assignment

In this module, we will cover inheritance in Java. You will understand how classes can inherit properties and methods, enabling reuse and structured software development.

What's included

1 video1 assignment

In this module, we will explore polymorphism. You will learn how objects can take different forms, enabling dynamic method execution and flexible program behavior.

What's included

1 video1 assignment

In this module, we will dive into advanced inheritance and polymorphism. You will learn techniques for overriding methods, using dynamic dispatch, and designing complex OOP hierarchies.

What's included

1 video1 assignment

In this module, we will cover encapsulation in Java. You will learn to safeguard object state, use access modifiers effectively, and ensure maintainable, secure code.

What's included

1 video1 assignment

In this module, we will introduce SOLID principles. You will learn to apply these design guidelines to create scalable, maintainable, and professional Java applications.

What's included
