Is it necessary to learn java for web development?

I have been learning Java for 2 months, but I am finding it boring. I want to become a full-stack web developer, but I am not sure if Java is the right choice. Do you still use Java for web development? Is it necessary to learn it before HTML, CSS, and JavaScript? Thank you for your answers!

Java is a popular and solid choice for backend web development, but it’s not the only option.

For web development, you need HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Additionally, you’ll need a backend language and a database.

If you don’t mind, I have one more question: Is it okay to learn Java before HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, or should I focus on those front-end technologies first? Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you!

The two are mostly not related, however, learning Java can complement your programming skills without harming your progress.

I suppose web development is easier; in fact, many people in your circumstance prefer web development because it is much easier to learn. It took me three months to learn HTML, CSS, and JavaScript and create fantastic websites. This is not necessarily a positive thing because it implies that most people can learn what you do in a reasonably short period of time. Learning Java, on the other hand, takes longer, and even then, you won’t be able to write any important programs.

No, learning Java is not necessary for web development. While Java can be used for backend development, many web developers focus on languages like JavaScript, HTML, CSS, or frameworks like React.

A popular and superior back end for web developers is Java.

However, it’s not strictly essential.

Web development requires HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

Next, a database + back end language

To me, coding is coding! language should be the least of your worries. As long as you have the fundamental skills, you are pretty much well equipped to take tasks. However, you should note that the backbone of back end development is surely Java.
