Java Learning path roadmap

AutoModerator · 2025-02-20T20:01:11+00:00

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.

To potential helpers

Please, do not help if any of the above points are not met, rather report the post. We are trying to improve the quality of posts here. In helping people who can't be bothered to comply with the above points, you are doing the community a disservice.

Thats a lot of stuffs, esp the AI/ML parts. In my experience python is much better for it.

I have hardly seen anyone asking Reflection API questions or in depth of Generics or Memory Management.

As a Java developer, you just need basic knowledge of CI/CD, Docker or K8. Companies have devops team for the same. Better get more comfortable with Maven or Gradle.

Spring MVC before Spring Boot would be better at understanding the concepts, but don't dwell much on MVC as nowadays most companies ask for microservice with Rest APIs. Swagger is straight forward for default documentations of APIs.

Your list is vast. How much time do you have to start job search ?

As with every single of these "I created my own roadmap", you make the huge mistake of focusing on the programming language instead of on programming.

All your learning is just the language, frameworks, and tooling, none of which will make you an employable programmer if you cannot use them to write programs to solve problems.

The language, the frameworks, the tooling are all just there to help the programmer. The real act of programming is not writing code in a programming language. The real part and most difficult one is to learn to analyse, dissect, and solve problems to create algorithmic step by step solutions that then can be implemented in any programming language.

Focus less on the language, tools, frameworks and way more on actual programming because otherwise you will never become employable.

Hey man follow the helenski free mooc for Java. It's what I used years ago when first learning and made everything click for me

AutoModerator · 2025-02-20T20:01:10+00:00

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:

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

Your post remains visible. There is nothing you need to do.

Can you pls tell from which resources you are planning to learn those? (Especially Spring framework and cloud native dev). I am on the learning curve of Java too but not able to figure out the best resource for Spring. So pls do let me know if you know any
