Hello there,

I hope this email finds you well!

Whether you’re gearing up for a Java interview or just brushing up on your skills, I wanted to share a comprehensive list of topics that are key to mastering Java and nailing technical interviews in 2025.

Having spent years as a Java developer and educator, I’ve compiled this list to cover the essentials and beyond:

Java Fundamentals: Core Java concepts and questions
Object-Oriented Concepts: OOP principles and practical questions
Data Structures and Algorithms: Key problems and solutions in Java

Multithreading, Concurrency, and Thread Basics: From threads to synchronization

Date Type Conversion and Fundamentals: Handling dates like a pro
Garbage Collection: Understanding memory management in Java

Java Collections Framework: Lists, Sets, Maps, and more

Arrays and Strings: Common questions and techniques

GOF Design Patterns: Must-know patterns for scalable code

SOLID Design Principles: Building robust, maintainable systems

Abstract Classes and Interfaces: Key differences and use cases

Java Basics: Equals, hashCode, and foundational Q&A

Generics and Enums: Writing flexible, type-safe code

Java IO and NIO: File handling and non-blocking I/O

Common Networking Protocols: TCP, UDP, HTTP essentials

Regular Expressions: Pattern matching made simple

JVM Internals: How the Java Virtual Machine works under the hood

Java Best Practices: Writing clean, efficient code

JDBC: Database connectivity questions

Date, Time, and Calendar: Modern and legacy approaches

XML Processing in Java: Parsing and manipulation techniques

JUnit: Testing questions for interviews

Programming Questions: Hands-on coding challenges

New Java Features (Java 8 to Java 22): Lambdas, Streams, Records, and more

To help you dive deeper into these topics, I’d like to recommend my books, Grokking the Java Interview Volume 1 and 2. They’re designed to break down these concepts with clear explanations, real-world examples, and interview-ready questions.

Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned developer, Volumes 1 and 2 cover everything from fundamentals to advanced topics like concurrency, design patterns, and JVM internals.
