LAYOUT MANAGERS and GUI's(JFrames/JPanels/JComponents)!!!!
And different examples of each, not just the same old ones you find on every site. It took ALOT of time to learn them from scratch, and every tutorial site just has the same BorderLayout with 5 buttons, as well as the rest all made with buttons, which was of NO help in learning lol.
And also nesting different layouts within layouts, such as gridbaglayout within borderlayout, or the endless combinations that could be done once the need to arrange JLabels, JButtons, JPanels within these layouts arises. Could even use my layout like elementary teachers post A+'s on the blackboard hah. This is Definitely even missing out in my college CSE curriculum, for the book has their own examples, but nothing thats useful beside for those exact examples. Just an idea though....
