•   Apply object-oriented programming techniques (encapsulation, inheritance and polymorphism)

•   Create abstract classes and Interfaces (Inner classes, lambda)

•   Apply exception Handling (try, catch, finally), assertion, logging, debugging

•   Develop Java applications using generics, collections (Lists, Maps, Sets), and input/output streams

If you are unclear about the outcomes for this course or their application, or if you would like more information about them, please reach out to me.
