LEARNING OBJECTIVES

Explain how Java code is compiled to bytecode and executed via JVM and JRE for platform independence
Differentiate procedural programming and OOP by analyzing Java classes, objects, and code organization
Declare and initialize primitive and reference variables using correct scope, naming, and access modifiers
Create classes and objects with constructors, methods, encapsulation, inheritance, interfaces, and polymorphism
Manipulate 1D and multidimensional arrays using indexing, loops, arraycopy, and Apache Commons Lang utilities
Implement control flow with operators, if-else, switch, and for/while/do-while loops using break/continue
Build and test algorithms in Java for tasks like decimal-to-binary, Fibonacci sums, primes, and palindromes

You guys are the gold standard of crash-courses... Narrow enough that it doesn't need years of study or a full blown book to get the gist, but broad enough that an afternoon of Googling doesn't cut it.
