r/learnjava

Hey everyone!

I'm looking for a few people who are interested in learning and growing together in software development.

My current roadmap includes:

• Java: Core Java and OOP
• Backend: Spring Boot, REST APIs
• Databases: SQL and database design
• DSA: Regular LeetCode practice using Java
• Cloud: AWS fundamentals and deployment
• Projects: Building real-world projects to apply what we learn

As we progress and reach a decent level, we can explore other tools, technologies, and concepts that are relevant to backend development and the industry.

The idea is to stay consistent, discuss concepts, solve problems together, review each other's code, build projects, and keep each other accountable.

I'm not looking for experts. Beginners and people who are genuinely willing to learn and put in the effort are welcome. We can create a small Discord group, set weekly goals, share resources, and help each other when we're stuck.

The goal is simple: learn together, build cool stuff, improve our DSA, and become better developers.

If this sounds like something you'd be interested in, drop a comment or DM me with what you're currently learning.

Let's grow together!

Hi,

I have seen java has been used widely for enterprise applications but I wanted to know for any freelance project anyone using java or how it is. I worked on java and I know it's very interesting once you come into the java language u will not be able to switch to any other programming language.

Let me know guys, what are your thoughts.

I get it is an array of string arguments that are passed into the main method but why is it needed? in python for example ot's present or c++ neither, java is different though

Would love to buy a book on java a concurrency, any recommendations that is not version specific

Is Java still worth learning or pursuing as a career these days? With AI advancing so quickly, programming jobs might decline significantly, which could also reduce the demand for learning languages like Java. What are your thoughts?

Hi,

As the title suggests do not buy any course from them.

Recently I had been seeing a lot of adds for the Java and SpringBoot Backend Track combo course package from this site called allcsnotes.com. I went through what topics are covered and it looked like everything from basics to advanced along with SpringBoot was covered with a capstone project at the end. And since there was a discount, I thought let me buy it since I was learning Java anyway and was done with Mooc.fi. I wanted a structured course similar to this so it was like all perfect. But once I got the course and started going through it, the way they have explained the concepts is very bad. No clear explanation of what Java is, what is JDK, JVM etc. I went through other topics as well and same issue. No clear explanation. Only the website looks nice. And top of it ,within 30 mins I knew this course was bad and wanted a refund, guess what they dont provide refunds.

I know it was my fault for not reading the refund policy, so I made this post so that anyone else planning to buy their course can be warned.
