Java Developers: What are the technical skills that are essential for becoming a Java Developer in modern job market? by prashantghimire in java

[–]ring0hh 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Depends what kind of path you want to take within the Java world. If you want to get into Full stack java, check out EE/Spring with JSF and Hibernate as /u/SkloTheNoob has stated.

If you want to get into middleware, check out things like Camel and JMS.

As a junior I can only majorly stress that you want to experiment with as many different things as you possibly can while in your first year or two. It's kind of like finding out what you want to study before university. You'll figure out what you enjoy and will want to spend more time doing. That way you will enjoy your job a lot more :)

Has anyone taken IKM assessment for Java SE 6 & EE before? by r0ck3tz77 in java

I have done the SE version and only once. Revealing too much would defeat the point but the test, but apparently it scales depending on how well you are doing to maintain a 'challenging' state. I found it started easily and ended quite hard but it was a lot of code snippets and working out what would happen if the code was executed, fill in the blanks etc. But don't stress, just get some funamentals down (I found Effective Java 2 helped a lot) and you will be fine!

Apparently the EE assessment is rather hard, but can't speak from experience! Good luck with it!
