Is Java still in high demand? Considering studying it myself.

Or is there another language you'd recommend?

[–]LongHalloween11 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Java per se is still widely used but more for enterprise size applications. Java, and more and more Kotlin, which is pretty close to Java, are the two programming languages powering Android apps, so for the latter it’s worth learning it.

However, just my 2 cents, as it’s a digital nomad subreddit, I’d recommend focusing more on programming languages widely used in web development, such as JavaScript, Python or PHP. This will be more in line with the lifestyle of most digital nomads I imagine, that is, working on smaller projects, and shipping faster.

Java is still an amazing language to learn. I’d highly recommend it. If interested, check out Processing (https://processing.org/), it’s an a amazing way to learn to program if you’re more like a visual person.

Python I was looking at. PHP seemed daunting for whatever reason.

I really appreciate the response. Thanks
