1. Install Ubuntu
2. Install Java,git and sublime-text on ubuntu
3. Optional Install Oh My Zsh on Ubuntu
4. Setup an account on github
5. Setup SSH key for github (password-less login)

1. About git - branch, branching, clone, fork, stash, commit, push, pull, etc.
2. What are environment variables? Where are they set in Ubuntu? bashrc/bash_profile? zsh/bash? Have you setup JAVA_HOME?
3. Compiler/Interpreter?
4. Data-Structures
5. OOP

Approach the problems when you can make programs like "Hello world". Print a series (1,3,5,7,9). Take input from user and do something with it. Print sum/product of a series based on user input.

1. When pushing your branch, make sure your personal branch is in sync with master. To do so commit your local changes in your personal branch, checkout to master, pull later master, checkout to your personal branch again and then merge master to your branch. There are obviously shorter ways to do it. I leave it you to figure that out. (Keeping your branch in sync with master is essential. Don't contaminate the master branch for any reason)
2. The Readme.md file in each problem directory is not there for nothing. Feel free to share in a few lines the approach/logic you used to solve the problem. It's not mandatory, but I would really appreciate your effort. If you end up adopting this practice though, make sure your english is proper.
3. Make sure you only commit your .java file and nothing else. Please don't include .class files in the problem directories. The problem directory should have nothing except your code and the updated Readme.md file. Dont add files to commit blindly. Check waht you want to add. You can always use the "git diff" feature to compare the edits and different versions of files. Feel free to explore about it.
4. With every "git fetch origin" the terminal will show the files where changes were reflected. Make it a habit to keep your local master in sync with remote.

WAP to define a class named "Student" which models a student with the following characterstics -

1. Name
2. Marks in 2 subjects
3. Roll Number

Input values for n number of students (given by user, both n and the individual values), and print the topper in each subject, and the overall topper. Think about the methods you will implement to follow the Don't Repeat Yourself principle (DRY)

It would be a good idea to start using a project management/dependency management tool now. These tools help you in organizing dependencies drastically reducing the overhead that you have to spend on managing them. And they make builds faster. As a suggestion, let's start with maven for java

Write a blog application. A blog implements the following functionalities -

1. Add blog post
2. Add comment
3. List all blog posts - yields all titles
4. Get blog post - yields title, content and comments with associations of comments with content

Additional Info -

1. The comments are supposed to be on individual paragraphs.
2. All blog posts have a unique random identifier, title and plain text as content
3. The comments are not attached to any user as of now. And there are no users and no authentication. Anyone could be an admin and a viewer
4. You should consider writing unit test cases. It might help you in making more modular code.

Lets create an API implemnentation with a MySQL backend - resources would be corresponding the 4 functionalities listed above. Additionally for list all blogs, lets also implement pagination, say for 5 items. Think about ways you can do this through MySQL. Read them and apply the best possible option for your use-case.
