Hey everyone,

I’m a Java Backend Developer with 2 years of experience, mainly working with Java, Spring Boot, REST APIs, databases, etc.

I’m interested in moving into AI/ML/GenAI, but I’m confused about where and how to start. There are so many things to learn — Python, ML, deep learning, LLMs, RAG, agents, MLOps, etc.

I’m also confused about whether I should:

Completely move from Java backend to AI/ML

Or continue with Java backend while building AI skills alongside it

I feel that backend + AI could be a good combination, but I’d love to hear from people who have actually made this transition.

What would you recommend for someone with 2 YOE in Java backend?

Also, if possible, please share some good learning resources, courses, YouTube channels, books, or roadmaps that helped you.

Would especially love advice from people who went from backend/software engineering → AI/ML/GenAI.

Thanks!

Same as the title.

Hii just want to know if anyone recently joined Salesforce, is yes when do you guys get onboarding details like joining date, time , if it is virtual onboarding or onsite , any Mail regarding this.
