2. Basic Syntax and Data Types:
   • Variables and data types (primitive and reference types).
   • Operators and expressions.
   • Control flow statements (if, else, switch, loops).
3. Object-Oriented Programming (OOP):
   • Classes and objects.
   • Encapsulation, inheritance, and polymorphism.
   • Constructors and methods.
   • Access modifiers.
4. Exception Handling:
   • Handling exceptions using try-catch blocks.
   • Throwing exceptions.
   • Using the finally block.
5. Collections Framework:
   • Introduction to collections (List, Set, Map).

   • Performing CRUD operations with databases.
10. Unit Testing:
    • Introduction to JUnit framework.
    • Writing and executing unit tests for Java code.
11. Advanced Topics (Optional):
    • Generics.
    • Lambda expressions and functional interfaces.
    • Streams API for processing collections.
    • Annotations and reflection.
12. Project Work:
    • Applying learned concepts to develop real-world Java applications.
    • Working on individual or group projects to demonstrate proficiency.

The course may vary in depth and focus depending on whether it’s an introductory course, an intermediate course, or an advanced course. Additionally, it may include hands-on exercises, quizzes, assignments, and a final project to assess students’ understanding and proficiency in Java programming.
