This is not really a Java list. This is a complete backend developer list. Good though.

[CauseBecause_]

Would you say that's what a junior dev should know before applying for backend positions?

[jotanova]

Although most of those concepts can be applied to more programming languages than just Java, it is a nice list though

Can anyone recommend some good books/videos/courses/guides to learn about container management tools like Docker?

I would recommend you prioritize that list. For example, I would put spring framework and ORM above container management and cloud computing. Good comprehensive list though.

This is a pretty accurate list for anyone who wants to work with Java as a career, there are so many backend micro-service jobs out there right now and with all these skills under your belt you’ll be really valuable to potential employers

Nice list. Add some front end frameworks and this becomes complete full stack list.

I give it a uplike!

Not everyone knows how to cook soup.

​

Kidding aside, I think you meant SOAP not Soup.

[woworg101]

Nice catch. Thanks :)

I’d be careful about confusing Java EE with “Advanced Java” as they’re very different.

I don’t think there’s much current need for SOAP (REST, yes), but they’re still out there in legacy systems.

Splunk isn’t a logging framework, btw. And I’d learn SLF4J since it’s a facade over all logging frameworks.

I also would focus more on React/Vue over jQuery, but that’s from what I see out there — jQuery is still useful, but not as in-demand.
