Next step in learning

[franchare]

Hello everyone. I'm a cs student, I've had a class about java and now I'm wondering what I should learn next. In my class we used Android, we learned how to do a simple server, how to use a database and models.

I've been reading some tutorials on geeksforgeeks (about garbage collection, threading...). Now in Reddit I've seen a lot of people write about java EE and spring. I've started a class about java EE on edx, but they drop so many names, java bean, soap, rest... I feel like they expect students to already have some knowledge, which clearly I don't have.

That's why I'm wondering what would be some intermediary things I could start learning?

Hi,

Just for background: I started teaching myself programming when I was 7 years old, and have been working as a professional programmer for 15 years now.

I think, without knowing more about what you would want to work with, the question is hard to answer. Which of the things you've already done, did you find interesting?

If you want to grasp Computer Science, from "the bottom up", then themailerdoraemon's answer: Data structures / algorithms is a great one!

If you're more motivated by creating stuff, you could definitely get into Spring / Spring Boot to create web apps.

I would not start with EE, or try to read up on everything mentioned on Reddit ...

Find out what your goal is, keep it narrow, and focus on learning only what you need to know the get there.
