After kick-starting the Advanced Java course by discussing how to How to create and destroy objects, how to use methods common to all objects, how to design Classes and Interfaces, how and when to use generics, how to use enums and annotations, how to write methods efficiently and various programming guidelines, we are now going a step further.

In this lesson we are going to continue discussing how and when to use Exceptions. Exceptions in Java are an important instrument to signal abnormal (or exceptional) conditions in the program flow which may prevent it to make a further progress.

We will discuss Checked and unchecked exceptions, using try-with-resources, exceptions in conjunction with lambdas, standard Java exceptions, how to define our own exceptions, documenting exceptions and logging them!
