🟦 Milestone 1: Java Foundations & JVM
Master the language that powers over 3 billion devices. Before we start with Spring Boot, we must understand the core mechanics of Java and the JVM.
📚 Slow-Paced Deep Dives
- Module 1: The JVM & Execution (The Engine): How Java runs everywhere and manages memory.
- Module 2: Object-Oriented Programming (The Blueprint): Classes, Inheritance, and Encapsulation.
- Module 3: Interfaces & Abstract Classes (The Contract): Building flexible and pluggable systems.
- Module 4: Java Collections (The Boxes): Lists, Sets, and Maps for data organization.
- Module 5: Java Streams & Lambdas (The Conveyor Belt): Modern functional programming in Java.
