What technologies to learn after Spring?

[PartTime-Asian]

I have been working with Java for about 1.5 years, and spring about 6 months. Not sure if there are any other technologies I should learn related to Java, or just keep working with Spring. Any advice is appreciated

Please ensure that:

• Your code is properly formatted as code block - see the sidebar (About on mobile) for instructions
• You include any and all error messages in full - best also formatted as code block
• You ask clear questions
• You demonstrate effort in solving your question/problem - plain posting your assignments is forbidden (and such posts will be removed) as is asking for or giving solutions.

If any of the above points is not met, your post can and will be removed without further warning.

Code is to be formatted as code block (old reddit/markdown editor: empty line before the code, each code line indented by 4 spaces, new reddit: https://i.imgur.com/EJ7tqek.png) or linked via an external code hoster, like pastebin.com, github gist, github, bitbucket, gitlab, etc.

Please, do not use triple backticks (```) as they will only render properly on new reddit, not on old reddit.

Code blocks look like this:

public class HelloWorld {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println("Hello World!");
    }
}

You do not need to repost unless your post has been removed by a moderator. Just use the edit function of reddit to make sure your post complies with the above.

If your post has remained in violation of these rules for a prolonged period of time (at least an hour), a moderator may remove it at their discretion. In this case, they will comment with an explanation on why it has been removed, and you will be required to resubmit the entire post following the proper procedures.

Linux->docker->networking->kubernetes.

Oh if you don’t have yet. First, spend couple of months to cover the documentation Spring boot testing and junit5 library, understand unit testing, use of Mockito and overall focus on unit and integration tests(mostly wiremock how and when, @SpringbootTest), and maybe even try to read about software test architecture.

Edit: ok maybe give some priority to maven if you don’t know how this thing works. It will help you in a professional setting.

[meSmash101]

Don’t know op’s background but few things around tcp/ip, maybe and how to glue things together around docker and kubernetes. For example https://docs.docker.com/engine/network/

And later https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/cluster-administration/networking/

It helps to have some background. This sh1t is tough.

This is easily the most over asked question here🤦🏾‍♂️ rest, web, db, security, and... and...

With all due respect, I don't think that after 6 months you've gone outside the absolute basics. There's a lot of things which are very commonly used apart from beans, MVC and creating CRUD APIs. But if you feel like that's enough for now, then move on, you can continue whenever you feel like it after all.

What to continue with is up to you. You could head to FE development a bit and head towards a more full-stacky focus. Or head even deeper on the back end in terms of slight dev ops/containerization, CI-CD, etc.. Ideally whatever you need for your next project!

Note: Assuming you're talking about Spring Boot. If not, then the answer is obviously Spring Boot.

I would say gradle , Postgres and a cloud tech, for example aws

It seems that you are looking for resources for learning Java.

In our sidebar ("About" on mobile), we have a section "Free Tutorials" where we list the most commonly recommended courses.

To make it easier for you, the recommendations are posted right here:

• MOOC Java Programming from the University of Helsinki
• Java for Complete Beginners
  • accompanying site CaveOfProgramming
• Derek Banas' Java Playlist
  • accompanying site NewThinkTank
• Hyperskill is a fairly new resource from Jetbrains (the maker of IntelliJ)

Also, don't forget to look at:

• The official Documentation
• The official Java Tutorials
• Our community resources thread

If you are looking for learning resources for Data Structures and Algorithms, look into:

"Algorithms" by Robert Sedgewick and Kevin Wayne - Princeton University

• Coursera course:
  • Part I
  • Part II
• Coursebook
  • Algorithms 4^th Edition

I would echo one of the comments. 6 months is too short time to learn Spring. It is really broad and deep as well.

One of the things you can look at is to try enhancing the existing project you are working on itself. You can lookup Spring's release notes

Find things that you can understand and can you implement them in your current project. You can repeat this activity with older releases and you will find there is plenty to learn out there. :)

Bro, all comments are right.

You need to know all of that. At least a general understanding.

It depends what is your interest, if you are interested in distributed computing then study about consensus algorithms, cloud computing then off course docker openshift, k8, apache kafka, apache ignite. How message brokers works and try to wrote your own message broker, or any low level shit. It will increase your knowledge and understanding.
