JCSprout is a curated learning path for Java engineers that mixes concise notes, diagrams, and runnable examples to cover core computer science and JVM topics. It walks readers through data structures and algorithms, networking fundamentals, Java concurrency, JVM memory model and GC, and common interview problem patterns. The repository emphasizes understanding over memorization, linking conceptual summaries with small code artifacts that can be compiled and profiled. It also highlights best practices around collections, thread safety, lock-free techniques, and performance trade-offs so learners can make informed design decisions. The material is structured to support incremental study, making it useful for both foundational learning and pre-interview refreshers. By bundling explanations with code and references, JCSprout acts as a compact “from student to engineer” handbook for the Java ecosystem.
