01
MASTER THE FOUNDATIONDuration: 6–8 weeks

Java fundamentals — beginner to advanced

Build a strong foundation in Java and progress to advanced programming concepts. Learn to write clean, reusable and efficient code while developing the object-oriented thinking required for backend engineering.

  • Java setup, JDK, JRE, JVM and how Java code executes
  • Variables, data types, operators, control flow, arrays and strings
  • Object-oriented programming: classes, objects, inheritance, polymorphism, abstraction and encapsulation
  • Constructors, interfaces, abstract classes, access modifiers and packages
  • Exception handling, custom exceptions and debugging
  • Collections Framework: List, Set, Map, Queue, HashMap and internal working
  • Generics, enums, annotations and wrapper classes
  • Java 8+ features: lambda expressions, functional interfaces, Stream API and Optional
  • Multithreading, thread lifecycle, synchronization, locks, executors and concurrency utilities
  • File handling, I/O, serialization, JDBC and basic unit testing
02
PROBLEM-SOLVING MASTERYDuration: 6 months

Data structures & algorithms

Develop the problem-solving skills expected in technical interviews. Understand how data structures work, choose the right approach for each problem and improve the time and space efficiency of your code.

  • Time and space complexity, Big-O, Big-Theta and Big-Omega
  • Arrays, strings, two pointers, sliding window and prefix sums
  • Searching and sorting algorithms, binary search and sorting patterns
  • Linked lists, stacks, queues, deques and hash-based structures
  • Trees, binary search trees, heaps, tries and tree traversals
  • Graphs, BFS, DFS, shortest paths, topological sorting and spanning trees
  • Recursion, backtracking and divide-and-conquer
  • Greedy algorithms and dynamic programming
  • Bit manipulation, intervals and commonly used problem-solving patterns
  • Regular coding practice, timed challenges and mock technical interviews
03
BACKEND ENGINEERINGDuration: 6 months

Spring Boot, microservices, Kafka & Spring AI

Learn to design, develop, test and deploy production-style backend applications. Build REST APIs, connect applications to databases and understand event-driven systems used in modern organisations.

  • Spring Framework fundamentals: IoC, dependency injection, beans and application context
  • Spring Boot architecture, auto-configuration, starters and project setup
  • Configuration management, profiles, properties and environment-specific settings
  • Spring MVC, REST controllers, request mapping and API design
  • DTOs, request validation, exception handling and global exception handlers
  • Spring Data JPA, Hibernate, entity relationships, repositories and query methods
  • Database transactions, transaction propagation and isolation basics
  • Spring Security, authentication, authorization, JWT and OAuth2 fundamentals
  • Unit and integration testing with JUnit, Mockito and Spring Boot Test
  • Logging, Spring Boot Actuator, monitoring and application health checks
  • Caching, asynchronous processing, scheduling and API documentation with OpenAPI/Swagger
  • Microservices architecture, service discovery, API gateway and inter-service communication
  • Apache Kafka: brokers, topics, partitions, producers, consumers and consumer groups
  • Kafka offsets, delivery semantics, retries, error handling and dead-letter topics
  • Event-driven architecture and integrating Kafka with Spring Boot applications
  • Spring AI fundamentals, architecture and integration with Spring Boot applications
  • Working with LLM providers such as OpenAI and other model integrations
  • Prompt engineering, prompt templates and structured AI responses
  • ChatClient API, chat models and conversation management
  • Embedding models, vector databases and semantic search
  • Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) and building document-based AI applications
  • Function calling and tool calling to connect AI models with external services
  • AI-powered REST APIs and intelligent backend application development
  • Responsible AI basics, error handling, observability and evaluation of AI responses
  • Build an end-to-end Spring AI project integrating an LLM, vector store and backend services
  • Build end-to-end backend projects with database integration and deployment fundamentals
04
THINK LIKE AN ENGINEERDuration: 3–4 months

System design — build for scale

Move beyond writing code and learn how to design reliable, scalable and maintainable software systems. Develop the ability to explain architecture decisions and evaluate engineering trade-offs.

  • System design fundamentals, requirements gathering and capacity estimation
  • Scalability, availability, reliability, latency and throughput
  • Load balancing, caching strategies, CDN and rate limiting
  • Database design, indexing, replication, partitioning and sharding
  • SQL vs NoSQL, consistency models, CAP theorem and trade-offs
  • Message queues, event-driven architecture and asynchronous processing
  • Monolithic vs microservices architecture and service communication
