Programming Foundations

Java and C Programming

Construct a rock-solid coding foundation. Master low-level memory operations, pointers, and arrays in C, paired with architectural object-oriented concepts and JVM processes in Java.

Course Overview

Every professional software architect needs a deep, system-level understanding of compile cycles, stack and heap allocation, and variable addressing. This unified course covers the two pillars of systems and enterprise development: procedural systems programming in C, and large-scale application design in Java.

At 3Stack Academy, we teach C to build mental clarity regarding how memory pointers, memory addresses, static structures, and memory allocations operate. Then, we leverage those concepts to transition into enterprise Java, explaining the inner workings of JVM garbage collectors, thread models, collections architectures, and modular packages. This offline classroom-focused setup provides a rigorous foundations program for future software engineers.

Course Syllabus

Module 1: Introduction to C & Structured Programming
  • C Compilation Flow, Syntax, Variables, Operators, and Expressions
  • Control logic (if, switch-case) and iteration loops (for, while)
  • Modular structures, user-defined functions, and array indexing
Module 2: Pointers & Memory Allocation in C
  • Pointer variables, dereferencing operations, and address arithmetic
  • Dynamic memory control (malloc, calloc, realloc, free)
  • Custom data containers using Structs, Unions, and File Streams
Module 3: JVM Architecture & Java Core
  • JVM Internals (Class Loader, JIT Compiler, Garbage Collectors)
  • Java Syntax, Variables, primitive types, and String manipulation
  • Classes, Objects, instance methods, and reference variables
Module 4: Java Object-Oriented Principles
  • Inheritance, Polymorphism (method overloading & overriding)
  • Abstract Classes, Interfaces, Encapsulation, and Java Packages
  • Robust Exception handling using try-catch-throw structures
Module 5: Java Collections & Thread Concepts
  • Collections Framework: ArrayList, LinkedList, HashMap, HashSet
  • Basics of Multithreading: Thread class, Runnable, and synchronizers
  • Project: Coding an enterprise-scale Bank Simulation System
