Today I wrote a new version of my summary posted here. The new version covers more topics, here is the updated list:

• Memory portions assigned to a program (code area, heap / dynamic memory area), execution stack
• How code is loaded in Java
• The Activation Record (AR) and function calls
• Abbrevations (AR, RV, RA, SP, N/E, @, ??, arb)
• Examples on method calls and activation records usage
• Declaraion vs. Definition of a variable, the scope of a variable, blocks
• Scope Activation Record (SAR), Static Link (SL), the role of SL
• The extent/lifetime of a variable
• Dynamic memory allocation and handling
• Dynamic vs. Static memory allocation
• Dynamic memory scope and extent
• Accessing dynamic memory
• Classes and Objects in detail, object instantiation
• Memory Management issues
• Objects vs. Variables (definitions)
• Methods of Objects
• Class Attributes
• The null value
• Parameters (formal, actual), parameters passing (by reference, by value)
• Constructors and Inline Initialization
• Constructor's call
