So as an aspiring Software DEveloper, I "learned" syntax and basic things from these languages: HTML CSS Python Kotlin C#. That being said I started looking for work and 4/5 job posts were specifically labeled as "Jr. Java Developer". Java is already running the world, that means companies would need to spend a whole lot of money to have everything rewritten in another language. Java isnt going anywhere. If you are like me and just starting out and have basic languages under ur belt, just learn Java. The Job market quadruples if you can write in Java.

Learning Java, as someone who didn't know what OOP even was, was a great way to at least learn what it is, and looking at experienced Java developers' code and understanding it helped me understand how to use classes and methods efficiently.

I learnt the theory of programming with Java. It's a great start-up language. Now my knowledge is transferable to many languages. So if you are looking to start programming, find a language, put the theory into practice with that language and you should be okay.

Java is still widely used in enterprise. I’ve just started a job where the company’s existing platform is built in Java

Bro, I was literally thinking about this last night as a beginner, thank you.

I hope so. I have already spent 3+ years developing in Java. Java was the first language my University taught us. I have used many other languages since such as python, html, javascript, C, etc. Still enjoy developing in java better than any other language I have tried thus far. Mainly because java has such good testing options and is not overly convoluted or complex like the C language for instance. The Java language just seems to click with me (probably because I have written most of my code in Java)

Glad to hear what the comments said below. I just started learning Java weeks ago as the Python course of my school are full and am annoyed to write so many codes to do so few things. Yet, after hearing you guys said I feel more comfortable.

I Am writing Java for 10 years. 10 years I hear "java is going to die soon". And after 10 years, not only it didn't die but recently EU made java with spring boot it's official language (with reactjs on front) .

[gokuafrica]

Java with spring, I think the spring layer really brings along some nice abstractions and makes it easier to build applications using Java

[swelarsson]

Java will always be a important part of coding and in back-end Java is outstanding (Maybe that´s because i´m javadeveloper) but it´s also a good start for anyone is pretty easy to learn the concept of Java and when you know it then the world is open for you, you can easy and quick learn Rust, Ruby, Python, Kotlin and so on. You forgot in the video the "DRY"(Don´t repeat yourself) where you use classes and heritage with superclasses and subclasses. So a clean code is important in all coding but in Java you will learn this from the beginning. But i liked the video :)

I'm not a Java programmer but I still think it is a great first language to learn for programmers. Once you get competent at Java you can move into any language easily.

[fallencactus]

this is the EXACT video I needed
thanks a lot!

[jimreynolds]

You should've mentioned abstract classes and single-inheritance as pros. These are very powerful features that are not fully appreciated by many people. Java can also be compiled for a hardware target. Java is good for DB connectivity and has lots of solutions for persistence. It's good for server-side tasks like web-services with the use of Tomcat.

Whilst java is a great language, oracle is possibly one of the worst companies.

[deepsonshrestha]

Bro, I'm from 2030. It's still worth learning now.

[cyclone]

Don't ever sleep on it. Java will still be running in the next 20 years. Most of the successful infrastructures and services that makes our life better was developed and being developed with Java.

[smgsngon]

i am not a coder or anything, but I have studied programming theory and fundamentals, and everything he
explained makes sense to me. basically he went down the basics that a book taught me to help people
understand the scope of programming languages and programming altogether.

[JoseVargas-dxwz]

Ok, Great topic! I agree with the strengths and flaws of JAVA. It's difficult, nowadays, to understand why a languaje get used and rise in popularity. Of course the people backing them it's important, support for multiple platforms it's a factor, but what I think account more for that is the shape of the learning curve. Seems to be that the learning curve of python it's really fast compared to C# or JAVA. Kotlin and Go also are advertised as lean languajes, but we all know for experience that when doing something real, the amount of code will pile up like crazy in any languaje. said this, I'm still undicided on weather I should learn JAVA, comming from C#, I better join a JavaScript based stack like Node.Js.

Really useful to hear your thoughts, thank you.

Thanks for the free trial. Just the resource I was looking for learning JAVA
