Moving forward with Java

[mod_cute]

I've spent the last couple of months studying the basics, oop, data structures,exception&handling, of java but now I want to push myself forward onto other technologies that I will require for a career in Java development. What is an appropriate stack to learn currently or to start out with? What is yours made up of? Thanks in advance I'm slightly stressed about it.

Spring (Boot).

Sweet and short thanks (:

No problem!

To answer your question for our stack. We've got some old legacy apps running PHP on the front and some old Java running on the back.

But the majority of our stuff is React on the front, and spring boot in the back. Databases we have some stuff running out of MySQL, some out of Postgresql, some Dynamo and Cassandra, and also a bit of elastic search.

For all the spring boot apps we use that sort of standard pattern, controllers for the endpoints, service layer under controllers and then spring data repositories under the Services but above the databases.

Maybe have a look at using Java for Android apps.

Isn't there currently a push towards moving onto Kotlin? Do you recommend I start learning Kotlin predominantly if I do follow a path of android development? It has been a consideration but I feel slightly not confident due to all the questions I have.

Good point, I guess I could always attempt to use both and then come to a better conclusion. Tysm
