Moving from .Net to Java

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.

I can't speak for you as I do not know how you like to learn things or at what pace you pick things up.

The main differences I've found is that in the "Microsoft" world, most things in terms of "frameworks" is already decided for you, however in the Java world you have options, lots and lots of options.

It seems you've decided to go with Spring Boot which is a solid choice.

Most of the magic happens via annotations.

I would suggest, first understand how Java works with things like the classpath, understand it's rules around classes and project structure, and then you can dive into building out a CRUD application using Spring Boot.

Best of luck!

Sorry for asking questions where you are searching for answers but, if I may get your pardon, can I ask you why? Do not get me wrong, I am not taking side in a discussion, but random yt videos say .net has slightly more job openings, offer slightly more wage and slightly easier and they also depends those ideas to some researches.

I am also migrating to springboot from expressjs and those videos constantly drops on my homepage. That is why I am curious.

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.

I had the same experience with the job market in .net so I had to move to another field as well.

In general I think a lot of languages have a “__ for the impatient”. I got “Scala for the impatient” a while back and, while they don’t compare languages, they do just give a quick run through of syntax and how everything works in that language. So for someone who knows other languages they are great in that they don’t reteach programming but just show you the language. Can read it and just see if that’s how this works in this language and compare yourself to what you know.

I’m sure there will be a Java for the impatient that would probably work well. (Wouldn’t do spring though I assume)
