Java SE 21: Programming II Training

Based on the Official Oracle Curriculum, this is the second-level course for developers learning the Java language. It builds upon the foundations laid in the "Java SE: Programming I" course and covers advanced topics such as object-oriented programming (OOP), modular architecture, secure coding, database integration, use of Lambdas, and developing multithreaded applications.

This course uses the current version of Java: Java SE 21.
