Welcome to my Java Collections Framework & Stream API learning repository!
I'm actively studying and practicing these powerful Java concepts to strengthen my programming skills and understanding of modern data structures and functional programming in Java. This repo is designed as my personal resource and coding playground while working through an in-depth course on Collections and Streams.
What you'll find here:
- Notes and Summaries: My explanations and key takeaways on Collections Framework components, stream operations, best practices, and performance optimizations.
- Practice Code: Real-world usage examples and implementation patterns, covering Lists, Sets, Maps, Queues, concurrent collections, and Stream API techniques.
- Insights: Practical tips, common pitfalls, and core concepts, especially useful for learning and interview preparation.
- Progress Documentation: My hands-on learning journey, annotated with examples and comments.
- Collections Hierarchy:
- List, Set, Queue, Map—understanding their differences, when to use which, and how to implement them.
- Concurrent Collections:
- Thread-safe structures for multi-threaded applications, such as ConcurrentHashMap, CopyOnWriteArraySet, and BlockingQueues.
- Performance Optimization:
- Efficient usage patterns, tips to avoid bottlenecks, and Java-specific performance advice.
- Stream API & Functional Programming:
- Mastering the Java Stream API for data processing, including operations like map, filter, reduce, Collectors, and parallel streams.
- Java 8+ Core Concepts:
- Lambda expressions, functional interfaces (Predicate, Consumer, Supplier, Function), and best practices for modern Java code.
- Industry Patterns & Examples:
- Real-world coding examples, use cases, and implementation techniques adopted by top Java developers and teams.
- I'm learning Java Collections and Streams in-depth and using this space to consolidate what I learn, practice solutions, and prepare for interviews.
- I’ll keep expanding this repo with more notes, examples, and insights as I progress.
