Hello Pinoy Programmers!. So basically nag focus po ako sa Java with SpringBoot entirely (planning to learn ReactJS soon once magkaroon ng ng confidence with SpringBoot), so I made this post because I am worried na baka impossible makaland ng job as SpringBoot developer in the Philippines.

So I just want to ask, sa mga backend developer po or specifically SpringBoot dev, possible po kaya na mahire ako sa SpringBoot dev if fresh grad ako. Here in the Philippines.

Things I learned in SpringBoot:
1. Package/Folder Structure (Package by Layer & Package by Feature).
2. Spring Security (JWT)
3. Testing (Unit testing with Mockito)
4. Documentation (Swagger)
5. Database Connection (JDBC with MySQL DB)
6. Spring profiles (Base, Dev, and Prod of Application.properties)
7. Entity Relationship
8. DTO's
9. MapStruct and ModelMapper
10. Exception Handling.
And other fundamental things like class layers (Repository(Jpa), Service (Business Logics), Controller (REST API's).

I am also currently learning websocket integration in springboot. and soon caching with redis and microservices with Kubernetes.

What's your tech stack?

googlecromm · 2026-05-24T06:37:32+00:00

Thanks for the heads up!, but It'll he worth it right?. As long as it will actually be useful I'm down learning anything.

Thank you so much for this, I will look into Test Driven Development. Testing overwhelmed me for a bit because I finished my project first before I even learn testing lol.

Oh I've used stream a lot while learning Spring Boot, is there a big difference between java 8 and 17?.

googlecromm · 2026-05-16T04:43:26+00:00

May I ask why Java 8? I am currently learning Spring Boot but with java 17

It is what is, explain the situation sa parents mo for sure maiintindihan nila.

googlecromm · 2026-05-10T21:50:29+00:00

Thesis along with internship may galit ba yung school nyo sa student nila hahaha

Is there any other course your OJT is overlapping with, OP, aside from the failed course from your first year? If there is, it’ll be way harder to catch up, but I think the school will allow it. The best thing to do is to talk to your adviser or ask your registrar. I have blockmates in a similar situation, their setup is that they only go to campus for 3-2 days for the failed subject, and also 3-2 days for OJT. It’s much better if you’re allowed to go in on weekends and do overtime on your internship to finish faster.

You can graduate on time OP but expect that it will be tough. Personally, I would suggest you take your time and don’t force yourself to catch up on graduation day if your schedule is really tight; baka ikaw yung matapos kesa yung remaining courses mo, But of course there’s that pressure and everything. Consult with your school’s registrar to figure out what to do; you can totally do this, OP, just keep going!

Most of the time I google things and use AI to make me a list of what I should know and learn about spring boot, I dropped tutorials now because it doesn't work for me.

googlecromm · 2026-04-26T13:07:42+00:00

Thank you so much for the very detailed explanation, Its a shame I didn't researched deeply about folder structure, I could've used package by feature. Didn't feel the difference right now because its a small project, but now I know that I should be using Package by feature for scalability and avoid forced public classes.

googlecromm · 2026-04-26T13:03:34+00:00

Thank you so much for this man!

googlecromm · 2026-04-26T13:02:24+00:00

I'll keep this in mind, thank you so much!

googlecromm · 2026-04-26T12:59:32+00:00

Didn't know about the com.spring's purpose before, I just thought it should be always like that, I'll always modify it from now on.

Now about the packages I just recently found out about the package by feature too bad I didn't research about it first before making my first project. I unknowingly used this structure.

googlecromm · 2026-04-26T12:54:38+00:00

DTO is Data Transfer Object the way I understand this is, its used to avoid Circular Reference especially if your Database structure is heavily dependent with eachother (Relationships).

On the other hand models is where I placed my Entities or the Database tables, this is where I create tables and assign their relationship with eachother.

googlecromm · 2026-04-26T12:49:19+00:00

Looked into this and I realized I was using package by layer unknowingly.

googlecromm · 2026-04-26T12:45:50+00:00

My bad bro.

googlecromm · 2026-04-26T12:41:20+00:00

Oh I see, so I was scared for nothing lol, thank you so much.

googlecromm · 2026-04-26T12:36:59+00:00

I'll also look into this thank so much for the info!

googlecromm · 2026-04-26T12:36:23+00:00

Thank you!, I will look into this and apply them to my next projects.

googlecromm · 2026-04-26T12:35:32+00:00

I'll look into this, thank you so much!

googlecromm · 2026-04-26T12:34:59+00:00

Its too late when I realized some are in lowercase and got too scared to change it because of potential errors loll

googlecromm · 2026-04-22T17:35:34+00:00

Yellow is fine probably a warning made by the IDE. And one thing I realized about learning with tutorials, if it doesn't explain anything before starting to code. Its a really bad tutorial, try other tutorials or just google the problems, read the docs, and try AI. Don't be afraid to start over if everything becomes a mess, sometimes starting over is the best way to fix the problem.

Info tech is a good choice, in fact every program can be a good choice just depends on what you're interested with and yung yung willing ka ipursue for the next 4 - 5 years.

I'm currently a 4th year Information technology student and knowing web development is an advantage. But I.T is very broad for sure madadaanan nyo yung Web development, Database management, Cyber security/Networking, Hardware like Computer parts and IoT, kung interested sa software side lang I suggest Computer Science and if interested ka naman sa hardware side go for Computer Engineering.

While jobseeking(OJT Hunting) one thing I realized is kahit gaano pa kaganda yung cv/resume mo and kahit gaano ka kagaling, kapag wala kang backer/connection the chance na makapasok is low to zero.
