In this episode, we dive into the world of annotations in Java—what they are, why they were introduced, and how they simplify development. Learn how annotations like @Override, @Deprecated, @FunctionalInterface, and custom annotations work behind the scenes. We’ll explore their use in frameworks like Spring and JUnit, how they support metadata-driven programming, and when to create your own. Whether you're a beginner or prepping for interviews, this episode will boost your Java knowledge with real-world insights.#Pithoracademy#JavaPodcast #JavaAnnotations #LearnJava #MetadataInJava #JavaDevelopment #SpringFramework #CustomAnnotations #JavaBeginners #JavaInterviewPrep #ModernJava
