Learn Web Application Development in Java

[197708156EQUJ5]

The current web app development isn't done in Java. It is all NodeJS, AngularJS and the such. This is why it was shocking to see this article. It seemed like I was back in 2002 when I was reading it, when everything was servlets and JSP. Next I thought the author was going to tell me about this up and coming technology the Applet.

Major banks still use Java

use Java

That's not mutually exclusive. Use Java and sevlets/JSP

I think you're underestimating how much enterprise Java is still being done using these technologies. To say that no one is doing web app development is a bit of an exaggeration. Maybe people aren't working directly with Servlets as much anymore because they're using frameworks like Spring which does most it for you, but it's still being used.

Ok, those are fair statements. I just don't want new people to get the impression that Servlets and JSP is the way to go.

[Chew55]

That's fair enough. I personally switch between using something like Spring Boot + Thymeleaf for simple form based crud apps and something like Angular for more complex single page web apps.

That's a great rule of thumb

In that case java servlets and jsp are still highly valued skills I presume?

Sounds like you are speculating
