I have noticed that many SDE-1 job posts require skills in Java, Spring, Hibernate, SOA, and J2EE. I am good in Python and have experience with Flask and Django, and I know some Java for DSA. What should I do next? Should I focus on learning web development with Java? If so, where should I start, since many YouTube tutorials seem outdated?
Web development is such a vast field but you are good because you have learned other skills like Python hence you can work freely in the field. Given the job market trends you have noticed, learning web development with Java could benefit you much and give you an advantage over other guys.
To master Jva, follow the following tips:
Strengthen your core Java skills.
Learn Java Web Development basics.
Explore frameworks.
Build projects.
By following the above steps, ou are now ready for the job market.
Hey fellow coder! I totally get where you’re coming from. I started off strong in Python, mastering Flask and Django, but quickly realized many SDE-1 job postings require skills in Java, Spring, Hibernate, SOA, and J2EE. I knew some Java for data structures and algorithms, so I decided to pivot. First, I brushed up on core Java concepts to build a solid foundation. Then, I dived into Spring and Hibernate using updated online courses from platforms like Coursera and Udemy, as well as official documentation. I found that combining practical projects with theoretical learning helped solidify my understanding. Starting with building small projects in Java using Spring Boot gave me hands-on experience, which was invaluable. Hope this helps, and good luck on your journey!
