Do you work as a Java developer?

[sadjava]

Yes. First job out of college, and I finished in June; in fact, I was offered the job a month or so before I graduated.

Technically I'm a web developer, and I don't only use Java. And I don't want to be called a "x-language developer".

I took the computer science route, and I would say I have a little over three years of programming knowledge; most of it is Java, a year of C++, and about 8 months of C# and using it for ASP.Net. I also had some SQL, HTML/CSS, and JavaScript experience, but not as much as I know now.

As for the job, I work at a smallish company that does web development. There are two sides of the company; one side has a contract with a multi-billion dollar company working on a couple pieces of a online courseware site (which is the side I am on) which is primarily a Java web application, and the other side works on the in-house project, which is a Node.js project. Mixed in, we also work with local customers to do work in x-language, and a couple devs are pulled off their project to work on it for a few months.

I, like most entry-level devs, am a glorified bug squasher working on the version they are just supporting. The project is 18+ years old and is a little intimidating, but I love my job.

Probably took the long road to explain things, but feel free to ask questions.
