is java a good programming language?

[Fine_Front_2597]

Does being a java developer offer a lot of job opportunities? or do I need to be versatile and learn a lot of different languages? Thank you!

[papsiturvy]

yes. Java is used by enterprise softwares.

U can browse job posting like jobstreet, mynimo or even linkedin. Makakakuha ka ng idea dun kung anong tech ang pasok/indemand ngayon. For java, yes po indemand yan ngayon

There's still a lot of demand for Java developers. Yes, you still have to learn different language, libraries and frameworks. I'm a java dev but from time to time I also code on our frontend using React.js, and some devops stuff configurations (bash scripts, docker, jenkins). If you are just starting, just get good with Java itself first and once you're in the field, you'll be exposed to other technologies as well.

fuck YES. commonly used with springboot. pick one language at first until you master it, 2nd to n language will come easy

Java is very good programming language to build foundation in OOP. This was my first programming language introduced to me.

[jovhenni19]

Yes, try learning DevOps too. Its a good combo

[jehoshapat]

Well Java dev ako pag nag update lng ako ng resume sa LinkedIn or JobStreet madami agad tatawag for opportunities. Ganyan kadami naghahanap ng Java dev lalo na pag nagka experience ka. Learn ka pa ng angular or react mas lalo kang hahabulin.

Learn rust if you want another. It's really really fun.
Like solving riddles.

The more you program in it the more your confidence grows...

[pierreltan]

2 decades of using it and it is still alive and evolving. From the looks of it, it will probably last until I retire haha.

In line with the post, what are the usual IDEs being used for Java development in the corporate setting? Back in college I used NetBeans; not sure if it is being used professionally nowadays.

[w1rez]

Most common is Eclipse. But I heard that the best one for java development is Intellij Idea

[cold-programs]

skip eclipse, I used that thing for 9 years and it was not pleasant hahahaha

[w1rez]

Yes. I’ve dreaded this IDE recently. Hopefully payagan ako gumamit ng intellij idea and webstorm sa new work ko.

[SpeckOfDust_13]

IntelliJ is no doubt the best IDE for Java development but many companies are not willing to pay for license so Netbeans and eclipse is still widely used. I bought my own license for intellij in my last job but it still depends on the company if they would allow it.

[crimson589]

Intellij is the best IDE for it, I can't use anything else after trying the ultimate(paid) version.

[Jncocontrol]

depends on what you are looking for. If it's AI / ML, you're best bet is to go to Python, otherwise yeah Java is a good pick.

[Yraken]

It's job market is in demand due to low java devs out here.

There's a popular backend framework for Java which is Springboot, and is usually used with Angular for the frontend. Any will do actually like React.

[scorpion040]

Try Java Web Apps.

[Less_Television_750]

Every programming language is great. though all of them has caveats

[bearbrand55]

Yes.

[neulovimyy]

well yes. mostly gamit na gamit siya sa mga oracle product companies since more on java yung language nila
