A Core Java course typically covers the fundamental concepts and features of the Java programming language. It begins with basic syntax, data types, operators, control statements (like loops and conditionals), and progresses to object-oriented programming (OOP) concepts such as classes, objects, inheritance, polymorphism, encapsulation, and abstraction. The course also includes important Java APIs like java.lang, java.util, and java.io, along with exception handling, multithreading, collections framework, input/output operations, and basic file handling. Additionally, topics like interfaces, packages, inner classes, and Java memory management are covered to build a strong foundation for advanced Java development or frameworks like Spring and Hibernate.
