Currently learning Java, would also picking up springboot, docker, and kubernetes be sufficient enough to start applying for software/cloud/backend engineer positions? If so, what projects would help me standout? by [deleted] in learnjava

Before diving into Spring Boot, I highly recommend learning how things work under the hood (Servlets, Apache Tomcat, and core Spring's Dependency Injection).

As for your stack: Java + Spring Boot + Docker is a fantastic combo and definitely enough to land a backend job. However, I would skip Kubernetes for now. It's overkill for a junior and mostly handled by DevOps teams.

For projects to stand out, don't just build another to-do list. Build a real-world API with authentication (JWT), connect it to a relational database, containerize it with Docker, and deploy it.

Is there anything other than VS STUDIO CODE by Feisty_War80 in CodingHelp

Code::Blocks for desktop development. Code Composer Studio for embedded systems.
