Start going through 'Java Web Development' Track. Starting from Spark and especially Spring you will see a ton of interface : needles to say. Finish these courses first.

About abstract classes, again... You are Java techdegree student, so I can tell you write away in Project number 7:

There is a task for exceeds :

Extract the common code of each DAO implementation to an abstract class that the DAO implementations extend

As you can see this is real life example where you have to implement Abstract class. So keep on learning, you will get there...
