Welcome to Advanced Java Concepts, a practical course designed to help you build modern, scalable, and database-driven Java applications using industry-relevant development practices.

This course explores advanced Java programming concepts including functional programming, multithreading, database connectivity using JDBC, software design principles, and automated testing. By the end of this course, you will be able to: -Use Java Streams and lambda expressions to write concise and functional-style code -Develop multithreaded Java applications and implement thread-safe programming techniques -Apply synchronization, locks, and thread pools to manage concurrent execution -Connect Java applications to relational databases using JDBC -Perform CRUD operations using prepared statements and transactions -Apply SOLID design principles and implement common design patterns -Refactor Java code to improve maintainability and scalability -Write automated unit tests using JUnit -Manage dependencies and build Java projects using Maven Through guided coding demonstrations and hands-on exercises, you will practice implementing functional programming constructs, managing concurrent threads, connecting applications to databases, and writing automated tests. These activities focus on applying modern Java development practices that are widely used in real-world software systems. This course is designed for learners who already understand basic Java programming and want to move toward professional-level development. It is ideal for computer science students, aspiring backend developers, and software engineers who want to strengthen their knowledge of concurrency, database integration, and modern Java development tools. Basic familiarity with Java syntax and object-oriented programming is recommended.

In this module, learners will explore modern Java development concepts, including functional programming with lambda expressions and streams, multithreading and concurrency fundamentals, synchronization and thread management, and practical utilities such as the Date and Time API and Optional for writing safer and more efficient Java code.

To access the course materials, assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid. The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
