IOOP Glossary
Terms and concepts you should already know from IOOP
OOPDA Glossary
Terms you should know at the conclusion of OOPDA.  The most important terms are in this highlighted version.

File IO

IO in Java can be complex. This is a nice overarching tutorial and here is a good description of streams, files, and IO.

BufferedReaders

Curious as to how exactly a BufferedReader reads when the buffer is empty?

Logging

Regular Expressions

Regular expressions are very powerful ways to validate patterns of strings, e.g. phone numbers, email addresses, social security numbers, product numbers and so on. Here's a good tutorial on the classes needed to implement regular expressions. Here's a link to some popular regular expressions that describe each example.

enums

An enum type is a special data type that enables for a variable to be a set of predefined constants. The variable must be equal to one of the values that have been predefined for it. Common examples include compass directions (values of NORTH, SOUTH, EAST, and WEST) and the days of the week. Because they are constants, the names of an enum type's fields are in uppercase letters. In the Java programming language, you define an enum type by using the enum keyword. For example, you would specify a days-of-the-week enum type as: 
public enum Day { 
 SUNDAY, MONDAY, TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY, 
 THURSDAY, FRIDAY, SATURDAY 
}
There is a presentation available on enums.
