• Week 2: Data Types & Operators: Primitive data types, strings, arithmetic, and logical operators.
• Week 3: Control Statements: If-else conditions, switch cases, and loops (for, while, do-while).
• Module Outcome: Write and execute basic Java algorithms to solve mathematical and logic problems.

Module 2: Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) (Weeks 4–6)

• Week 4: Classes & Objects: Constructors, "this" keyword, and access modifiers (public, private, protected).
• Week 5: Pillars of OOP: Encapsulation and Inheritance (super keyword, method overriding).
• Week 6: Advanced OOP: Polymorphism, Abstract classes, and Interfaces.
• Module Outcome: Design a scalable application structure utilizing all four pillars of OOP.

Module 3: Exception Handling & Collections (Weeks 7–9)

• Week 7: Exception Handling: Try, catch, finally blocks, and creating custom user-defined exceptions.
• Week 8: The Collections Framework (Part 1): Array vs. ArrayList, Vectors, and LinkedLists.
• Week 9: The Collections Framework (Part 2): Sets (HashSet/TreeSet), Maps (HashMap/TreeMap), and iteration techniques.
• Module Outcome: Write robust code that handles errors gracefully and dynamically manages data sizes.

Module 4: Multithreading & File I/O (Weeks 10–12)

• Week 10: Multithreading: Creating threads, thread lifecycles, and synchronization basics for concurrent processes.
• Week 11: File Handling (I/O): Reading from and writing to files using ByteStreams and CharacterStreams.
• Week 12: Database Connectivity (JDBC) & Capstone: Connecting Java applications to a MySQL database and executing queries.
• Module Outcome: Develop a fully functional Java application that saves and retrieves data from external databases and files.

Learning Outcomes
