    • Security (Spring Security)
  • Hibernate
    • Introduction to ORM (Object-Relational Mapping)
    • Configuring Hibernate
    • Entity mapping
    • JPQL and Criteria API
    • Transaction management

3. Databases

  • Relational Databases (e.g., MySQL, PostgreSQL)
    • Basic SQL commands (CRUD operations)
    • Joining tables
    • Indexing and normalization
  • NoSQL Databases (e.g., MongoDB)
    • Understanding the NoSQL paradigm
    • Basics of MongoDB (CRUD operations, aggregation queries)

4. Front-end Technologies

  • HTML/CSS
    • HTML5 elements and semantics
    • CSS basics (selectors, properties, box model)
    • CSS frameworks (Bootstrap, Tailwind CSS)
  • JavaScript
    • JavaScript fundamentals (syntax, data types, functions)
    • DOM manipulation
    • Event handling
    • AJAX and Fetch API
  • Front-End Frameworks
    • React.js (or Angular/Vue.js)
    • Components, Props, State management
    • Hooks and functional components (for React)
    • Routing (React Router)
    • API integration

5. Development Tools

  • Build Tools
    • Maven or Gradle (for Java project management)
  • Version Control
    • Git basics (clone, commit, push, pull, branching)
  • Integrated Development Environment (IDE)
    • Understanding how to use IntelliJ IDEA, Eclipse, or VS Code

6. Web Technologies

  • HTTP Protocol
    • Understanding requests and responses
    • RESTful APIs concepts
  • Web Servers
    • Basic understanding of servers like Apache Tomcat

7. DevOps and Deployment

  • Containerization
    • Basics of Docker
    • Creating Docker images for apps
  • Cloud Basics
    • Overview of AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud
    • Deploying applications to cloud services

8. Testing

  • Unit Testing
    • JUnit and Mockito for Java
  • Front-End Testing
    • Testing React components (using Jest, Testing Library)

9. Project Development

  • Building Full Stack Applications
    • Develop a project that integrates your front-end and back-end knowledge.
    • Example projects: Task Manager, E-commerce site, Blog Application

10. Soft Skills

  • Collaboration and Communication
    • Understanding Agile methodologies (Scrum, Kanban)
    • Working on team projects, using tools like JIRA or Trello

11. Best Practices and Design Patterns

  • Coding best practices (clean code, code reviews)
  • Design patterns relevant to Java (Singleton, Factory, MVC, etc.)

By covering these topics, you’ll gain a comprehensive understanding of full-stack development using Java. You can use online resources, coding boot camps, courses from Coursera and Udemy, or free resources like documentation and tutorials to aid your learning process. Good luck!
