Knowing what to study is also a big challenge since there is so much to learn. Therefore, let’s explore the most important topics to study so we can become better software engineers. By Rafael del Nero.
The learning path from Java is extensive because technologies evolve very quickly. Fortunately, we don’t really need to learn every new technology that shows up. Instead, we need to be strategic by learning the essential fundamentals to help us learn any new technology faster. Further you will learn about the concepts and technologies we need to learn with Java:
- Algorithms
- Object Oriented Programming (OOP)
- Java Core
- Databases
- Dependency management and software build with Maven
- JUnit
- Integration tests
- HTTP concepts
- Java Web – (JSP) Java Server Pages
- Clean Code Concepts
- Solid … and more. Remember the important Pareto principle when studying all these topics: You need 20% of the knowledge to solve 80% of the problems. With that in mind, we don’t need to learn everything from every technology described in this article. Good read!
