Want to become a Java developer? Read this

Stop wasting time searching for the right language to choose 🤯

The biggest mistake aspiring developers make is overthinking about the language they should pick for their career. I have good news for you, there is one language which is completely remarkable, it’s Java.

In this blog post, I will give you some reasons you should pick it as a programming language and stick to it for a long run. Let’s dive into it

What is Java

Java is a programming language first released by Sun Microsystems in 1995.

It has evolved from humble beginnings to power a large share of today’s digital world, by providing the reliable platform upon which many services and applications are built. New, innovative products and digital services designed for the future continue to rely on Java as well.

Why you should be interested in it

Java is a popular technology used all around the world and offers great job opportunities, moreover, it has plenty of interesting features like:

• Object-Oriented Language
  Java is an object-oriented programming language, therefore everything there is written in terms of classes and objects.The object is nothing more than a physical thing that can stand in for any individual, location, or thing while still being distinguishable from other objects.
• Platform Independent
  Because of the Java Virtual Machine, programmers can create software that can be executed on any platform or operating system, regardless of its underlying configuration. In other words, Java adheres to the WORA principle, which stands for Write Once, Run Anywhere.
• Portable
  Any platform can accommodate Java Byte code. No features that are implementation-dependent. The size of primitive data types is one example of how everything related to storage is predefined.
• Multithreaded
  Programming many tasks at once is feasible because of Java’s multithreading functionality. The advantage of multithreading is that it runs numerous threads simultaneously while using the same memory and other resources.
• Dynamic
  Java can dynamically allocate memory while running. A Java function, however, is not loaded into memory until the function is called
• Compiled & Interpreted
  Java is a language that allows for both program compilation and interpretation. The Java Compiler then compiles the program when it has been created. The Java Interpreter can be used to execute this compiled code (Byte code).

What about salaries

This picture below shows the median salary of Java developer in US.

The Java language offers wonderful job opportunities. Here in France, where I currently live, salaries are different from the picture you see above. It depends on the town in France, but Java developers are relatively well paid.

In conclusion, the Java language offers tons of benefits, and as a Java developer myself it’s a good pleasure to use it daily.
