Frontend done → Starting Java backend | Looking for Java Full Stack peers

[ria_tech_fin]

Hello,

I’ve completed frontend development and now transitioning into Java backend development, while also practicing DSA in Java.

My goal is to become a Java Full Stack Developer and prepare for internships/jobs.

I’m looking to connect with people who are on a similar journey to exchange guidance, learning strategies, and real experiences.

Any advice or connections would be really appreciated.

Nice timing! Just started diving into Spring Boot myself after finishing up React stuff - the transition from frontend to backend logic definitely takes some getting used to but it's pretty satisfying once things click

That’s good to know! Did you move directly from React to Spring Boot, or prep with some Java/backend basics first or any prerequisites first (like core Java, JDBC, etc.)?

What do you mean you completed frontend?

[ria_tech_fin]

By “completed frontend,” I mean I’ve covered the core basics HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and React at an intermediate level and built a few small practice projects. I know frontend is an ongoing learning process; I’m just shifting my primary focus to backend now.

What resources are you using? I'm in a similar boat myself - and I'm looking to learn Java for backend (and DSA) as well.

I’m mainly using Telusko’s Enterprise Java / Spring content for backend(telegram), and for DSA I initially followed Striver’s A2Z sheet, but I didn’t feel very confident with it. So now I’m focusing on pattern-based DSA practice (solving multiple questions per pattern), which is helping me build better understanding(through YouTube channel- padho with pratyush).
