This tutorial is a heads’up for all the freshers and Java learners to understand and learn Java in a real quick way.

The first things first, I would like to give an example on learning things, which is applicable to everything, not only Java. But in here, our main agenda is to learn Java.

Let’s take an example, I have given you a stack of books to arrange, which belongs to ten different categories. After a while of time, I asked you the books I needed from category 9, category 2, category 6 etc. Now you should be in a position to hand over the books, I needed spontaneously and accurately.

Imagine the above situation as a Java interview you are facing and interviewer asks you a set of questions from different topics randomly. To answer them spontaneously and accurately, you need to have a thorough understanding of the below-mentioned topics. To be in a position to do so, you need to learn Java in a systematic, organized and in a planned way. So that you will have a clear layout of the topics that are present in the Java as mentioned below.
