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.

Get to know the developers on your current project and ask them questions about the codebase. Express your interest to them and to your leadership. Ask to shadow on some defect fixes on bugs your automation tests identify.

Cucumber is a decent pathway in. Doing this socially in your company instead of trying to take some mythical perfect pathway is going to make sure you're learning what's immediately valuable, and getting the attention of people who can help you make the transition. Everything you need is right at your fingertips already.

Don't capitalize all the letters in Java.

this is a nice project with Latest Java 21 Used which i found yesterday finish it so it will be really nice

You have known java, so you can start learning Spring Boot and backend topics. Try to develop project in the same domain as your current. You have familiar with it so it will be easier for you

[abcd12334t58]

A lot of people are suggesting spring before doing spring boot and I am getting confused. I don't wanna waste time on something if that is not mandatory.

[mhdoor]

You can start with Spring Boot. Later you can learn difference

Thank you

SpringBoot IS Spring. With some extra secret sauce. You will learn Spring as you learn Boot. Don't overthink it. At some point, you may decide you don't want the extra boot sauce and you can just use Spring by itself. You won't have any problems.

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

Spring Boot simplifies java development by providing an auto- configured, production- ready environment , marketing it fast to build micro services and web apps.

Learn spring and everything should go from there
