[@pierregerard8215]

I'm a professional Java developer for years and I can say, without hesitation that Java is definitely not dead. Its still largely adopt in IT services. The community is absolutely huge. Also, the last release of Spring 6, project Loom and so on are very excited for us. But if I could recommend something for beginners, just focus on well established languages instead of trending ones. I mean, Java, Javascript, Typescript, Python are the most popular OOP languages. I would not recommend to learn new languages such as Rust or Golang for beginners cause the learning curve may be to complicated for you and to be honest they are not many companies compared to OOP languages which hires developers ;) BTW : thanks for you content @Amigoscode, its perfect as usual ;)

I'm sure that it will not replace developer (or maybe in many years) but it allow us to be productive as f*ck in some cases.

[@konga8165]

I would highly recommend learning Rust and Go. Java has been trending down since 2016 in usage. Go especially is way more simple than Java and way easier to learn. I think we are going to see Go and Rust dominate the landscape in the next 5-10 years. They are just objectively better in every way. They are way more performant, have a better type system, they have a cleaner syntax, and their dependency management system is way better.

[@codinghoca]

I worked my first job in Java at a database company and later also using it in the backend at Google, and it's definitely still thriving. It might not be the hot thing that all startups are defaulting to using it today, but it definitely 1. provides a great foundation for OOP/type-based language (I would actually prefer to hire someone who has past Java experience vs just JS experience) 2. is still relevant in a large number of big (and small) companies who choose to use it.

[@Exiide89]

Java acts like a Rosetta stone for programming languages. Learning Java equips you to use any programming languages without even the need to learn them. You simply need a basic cheat sheet for that language in front of you and you can take off.

Thank you for this video; it came at the right time.

This was my plan (to be well vast in java) but what if I don't have enough time to learn java and need to learn what I need for the moment because I have a project that would be better written in another language, for example, Python?

[@Jelvix]

Thank you for bringing up this topic! Our assessment is that Java will maintain its relevance due to its versatility and active community. By integrating new frameworks and features, Java has solidified its position as a flexible programming language that continues to evolve and adjust to new technological advancements. That's definitely a reason to believe that it's gonna run not only 2023, won't it ?

[@jordanmoore4104]

I absolutely adore this video! As a backend developer, I have the privilege of working with Java on a daily basis. Despite not being as widely discussed as JavaScript, Java remains an incredibly relevant and powerful language that continues to drive the backend systems of some of the world's most well-known companies. As you rightly pointed out, Java is the building block of many other programming languages, making it a valuable investment of time and effort for those just starting out in their coding journey. 🙌

"Learn Java and the rest of the programming languages are going to be easy" that I can say is true. I'm coming from a JavaScript environment and I realized I've missed a lot of fundamental concepts like design principles, best practices and most of the OOP concepts as JS is more like code however you like.

I totally agree with the Video. I know a lot of languages are becoming more high level & abstract i.e. Python. But when a beginner has to work with Legacy code written in Java, they often feel overwhelmed and confused by the boilerplate code, however if you learn Java first then move on to higher level languages you'll generally find it a lot easier. Having said all that, a big thank you to Nelson for producing quality content surrounding Java and how to make scalable, commercial applications with it.

[@businessparis9364]

I agree. I think Java is a good "mid tier" language, where its not too high level like JS or Python but its also not "scary" low level with too much detail/complexity like C++/C. Just a decent first language to learn most concepts you need.

Hello Amigoscode Wa-Alaikum-Salaam! Really enjoyed your video and I watched till the end. I do have some personal reservations about Java by the way. When I started fiddling with programming in 2012, I started out with Java and I really didn't like the "public static void main Strings args" ritual. I didn't understand it and I was still in junior high school when I started reading a book called "Head First Java". I eventually switched to Python around 2014 and it was probably the best decision I made. After a couple of years, I wanted to try out Java again; I soon found out that Java was too verbose / long to write [for me]. I really didn't appreciate that I had to write so much code for a functionality I could write couple of lines for in Python. I haven't been back to Java ever since. I do think maybe work-related projects would eventually bring me back to writing Java code one day. Funny enough, I seem to enjoy writing C, C++ code than any other static programming language [and that would probably include Java as well - I'll only know when I have to write Java for something important]. Thanks for the interesting video. The motion graphics in the text did improve retention for me... Cheers.

[@Slavigrad]

I am a Java backend developer (cloud, microservices) and there is still plenty of work for me. I am now on working on big project for next 2-3 years with this stack. If you want to learn Java then the market demand is - Java, Spring Boot, Docker, Kubernetes, AWS, Hexagonal architecture, microservices… Plenty of work and demand for this on European market. If you like frontend then pick also Javascript, React and Angular. If you know Java and Javascript you can be fullstack developer…

[@tonykung07]

Java is definitely still relevant for a lot of enterprise systems. The question is that if people are using Java that much for new projects with new architecture. My impression is that Java memory footprint with JVM is relatively large when compared with more modern languages such as Golang. That makes Java not the first option when microservice architecture is adopted. I guess new versions of Java might have considered this to allow people tweak configurations of the JVM, yup then you might need learn something additional to make it suitable for microservices given that microservice was not a thing back in 1995 when Java was designed. Simply put, modern languages don't just mean "trendy" but they mean they have been designed from scratched for modern system architectures as software development has evolved gradually. Java might not be the top choice in a lot of situations anymore. I have seen people build new web backend with NodeJS, Golang for microservices, Python for data science, Solidity for web3 smart contracts, Golang for devops programs such as k8s and docker.

The down side is that I don't know the whole system. I'm learning Java again but it gets overwhelming seeing the road map.

[@pyp2205]

I'm honestly not surprised to see this in my recommendations. Probably because I'm going to go through Java next week in my university, after 5 weeks of C. But it's not going to be too hard since I learned the basic syntax of these languages beforehand. While Python was my first programming language. Transitioning to C++ a year ago wasn't hard, because I tried to learn it sometime before I learned Python 4 years ago.

[@drelinsmedia2262]

Thank you so much this clip just opened my mind and turned my life around

[@Boyarsskiy]

I agree that if you know assembler then any language will be very easy to learn, and if you know Java you can learn any higher level languages very easily and quickly. But in the long run, I recommend to learn more than just Java. After you master Java as a backend developer, learn JS, HTML, CSS and try to develop your own simple fullstack application with pure JS on the front end and Java/Kotlin on the backend. After mastering this step you will be able to easily understand other JS frameworks such as NodeJS, React, Angular, Vuejs, etc. After that, you will be able to easily find any job as a software developer and will be able to understand the whole picture in your company project: from the point of view of the users of the product, the front-end developer, and from the point of view of the back-end developer. And even if you will be primarily a back-end developer, knowing the rest of the application layers will help you better design your back-end architecture, as well as communicate effectively with front-end development teams. You will be think not like a coder but like an architect.

[@sophi145]

[@mistymu8154]

I completely agree. While I started with Objective C and then Swift, like Java, it really gave me a good fundamentals to understand and quickly pick up other languages, so jumping to C# and Java was simple as was picking up other languages like Go, Javascript, Typescript and Python. Unfortunately, there are too many people in software development who become too fixated on one language and then want that one language to solve every problem. Like you say, a programming language is just a tool and you should use the best tool for a specific purpose. Also, especially in the Javascript world, developers change to the hottest new framework every 6 months, while Java may not be as exciting it has a solid ecosystem that doesn't drastically change every few months.

Maybe I'm wrong, but there are new alternative languages to build backend apps related to microservices, AWS, hexagonal architecture, and so on. Golang, Kotlin (which I know is primarily used in mobile apps, but I've seen it used in backend as well), and even C# are improving in terms of language features. With new Java versions, I hope this will change, but obviously Java is still a great language.

Hi sir...can you guide me to start Java learning :) Please reply

[@Ritsuchan95]

Hey @@codewithvenky! I would recommend starting with a more language focused tutorial (just a Java tutorial) to get some language basics + programming logic & OOP (object oriented programming). Then it really depends on what you're interested in to doing. There are a lot of different frameworks, each of them focused on a solution. If you want to make websites then learn Spring Boot, you can make android apps with Android Studio (although I think they are switching to Kotlin) and much more. Also I would recommend thinking a bit about what kind of software are you looking to develop. (Ex: for iOS apps it's better to learn Swift and make them native). Hope that helps, don't feel bad if you don't know what you want to do, I have been testing different things over the last 10 years (Started with Games on pure Java, switched to websites with HTML5 + CSS3 + Javascript, then tried some C++ in Unreal Engine, C# on Unity, back to webdev with React and ended learning backend [JavaScript/Typescript + Node.js + Express], [C# + .NET] & [Java + Spring Boot]). Just try to not waste time in "tutorial hell" as many of us self-taught people end up doing. Watch tutorials to learn how a language/framework works, but then create your own projects from scratch. If you just copy over and over projects from youtube tutorials. Like TheCherno said a long time ago "You can read a 1000 books about how to play a guitar, but if you don't take a guitar and try to actually playing it you won't learn how to do it". :)

I think Java is still being used, or at least in the codebase, but I don't think for new projects, many companies are choosing Java.

[@martinschrodt5797]

A language is always only as powerful as the tooling you can have, as well as the amount of quality libraries out there that you can use to build applications. After all, you do not want to reinvent the wheel. For Java, you have really top class IDEs (albeit for other languages too, but especially as a statically typed language the amount of knowledge an IDE can have over your project is stunning), and the amount of really well written, performant libraries and frameworks out there is just top class). Show me something like Spring Boot in another language...

[@richarddettinger]

Exactly. I learned Python a few years ago after being a life long Java developer and its a find tool. Heck, its a great tool. But the IDE support is like being in the dark ages because of the lack of static typing. I often hear people talk about other languages being more efficient to write in than Java. I think a proficient java developer with a good IDE and a framework like Spring Boot is pretty damn fast.

[@anothermouth7077]

Could you do a video on Completable Future!? One of the reason my node developer friends always give me is that node allows to write non blocking code. I tell them you can do with modern Java too.

[@yutubl]

I agree: learning for long run is good for young people and Java has big advantages: 1. wide spread language C-style syntax (like C, C++, C#, JavaScript); 2. fatal error safe features; 3. object oriented programming libraries to learn advanced concepts & architecture of how to make good software design, development and test. I recommend learning Java with already learned entry level programming skills (e. g. on Raspberry Pi: BlueJ Java IDE, JavaScript or Python). Thats was the reason why I supported my son learning Java, after he showed interest about mathematics, physics, programming (self taught LEGO Mindstorms Robot, school: Pascal, Java). Unfortunately I never got a Java job after learning it, after long time C++ and C# jobs saved me. And these programming languages are closer to Java, or Java is closer to them as you might look at it.

[@tribaltalker1608]

One of the problems for beginners when they approach older popular languages like Java is that the sheer number of highly specialised areas in which they are used makes it hard to evaluate what to learn. Also the scope of these languages can seem overwhelming. Clarifying what the core elements of a language are can really help reduce the initial shock. I used to be a trainer, developer and team leader. Java was my go-to tool for most projects. But problems with deployment and licensing (still ongoing, as I understand) shifted my focus to other languages. I'm not a fan of Oracle's approach and I'm glad to be out of it.

Java makes the standards all the time on how to do things in the backend so that's why enterprise code is always there. It's robust and mature.

I do lots of application security testing, the amount of projects iv worked with 9 out of 10 its been java. I decided to learn java since I depend on Burp Suite and need to write custom extensions.

Language is a tool , we should always see it as choice to solve the kind of the problem. Good Video

This is encouraging to hear ☺

I gave myself brain-damage when learning to code, by starting out with old-school BASIC (AppleSoft, GW-Basic) and then I was told by a teacher to go and learn Pascal. Same argument as Javascript vs Java -- start with the sane language ASAP to undo my bad habits, and make it easier to pick up other languages. It was excellent advice, because it was much easier to pick up C after that.

I think the best programming language to start with if you want to remove the fear of languages is C/C++ with manual memory management and no gc you need to do all by yourself than switch to java where you do all the things by yourself except for the memory management and after pick any language you want, it will be super easy You can take look at assembly to know how the cpu execute your code, just to have the bigger picture

I am Java Developer I needed some discussion like this thanks guys...

thanks for the video!

Good...that's why I am never gonna stop learning it

Thank you sir ,I am new to programming I want to learning

I started out programming with Java and it has been very easy picking up other languages, so far I switch between Java, Kotlin and Dart at work and my Java background has been super helpful.

[@SuperGojeto]

Great. I am learning Kotlin now to switch permanently from Java. Java is great but to much verbose.

[@ifechukwuudorji8274]

@@SuperGojeto There are a lot of newer language features on the newer versions of Java its just unfortunate we cannot use them on Android

If I could start over again I would definitively start with Java and/or PHP. Yes, all these modern tech stacks are cool but most of all enterprises companies today are built with enterprise tech stack/solutions…I.E .Net, Java/Spring Boot, and LAMP

[@ShukyPersky]

Considering the points you raised you should have recommended C++ which is a much more powerful and elegant language and one which Java is tracking along the way C++ actually showed the OO way to a bunch of languages (including Java), plus that C++ has no garbage collector which required the programmer be much more professional that one that uses languages where a garbage collector keeps your back

[@gyphed111]

The only problem to solve problems w java is that this language has a syntax that hinders more than it helps, this certainly makes life difficult for the programmer. Today I really appreciate some other languages, like Kotlin, because this language takes the best of Java concepts, for example, it decreases the code size, causing faster development of large Android projects. But it's really necessary to understand that Java is very important and necessary for some projects, besides being fundamental for understanding modern software development.

thanks a lot !

I started with Go and contrary to what you've said in the video I found it very easy to pick up Java later. I personally have to disagree with many things you said here, and would recommend against starting with Java for a few reasons: 1. Java is HEAVILY object-oriented. Everything has to be a class, object, method, etc. It might be a good idea for big projects with massive codebases and many contributors, but it's overkill for most programs you want to build (public static void main(String[] args) just when you want to make a hello world program is a notorious meme), because what could've been just a few functions needs to be implemented as an entire new class with methods. OOP is very different from other programming paradigms and will make it hard to learn other programming languages that are more imperative or functional in nature, and eventually a fresh programmer that started with a heavily-OOP language like Java is going to pick up bad practices. In OOP terms, imperative programming is a "class", and object-oriented programming is an "instance" of that class. Child instances can inherit from their parent classes ("Cat" and "Dog" both inherit from "Animal"), but they are not comparable to one another ("Dog" is going to be much different from "Hamster"). Learning imperative programming first with C, JS or Python will be better at teaching you programming in general, but object-oriented programming is a niche that is different from the rest, and has its own set of rules and practices. It's like learning how to drive by getting a forklift certification, as opposed to learning how to drive a regular car. The best place to start would be C, as it's a simple language (though not easy) and is considered the Latin of programming languages, and will teach you everything you need to know about how a program operates and how programming works. C is so influential that it serves as the "blueprint" for most languages - like Java, JavaScript, C#, Go, Rust, and many others, additionally the Python interpreter is written in C. 2. Java tooling is not the greatest, and it's all over the place. There are many different Java JDKs and build tools etc. and a beginner will get easily confused and deterred from Java after not knowing what to pick and the differences between everything. And I do not wish debugging a Java program even to my worst enemies - error logs and debug traces are excruciatingly verbose, yet they barely tell anything useful. If I started with Java and saw such an ominous looking wall of text on an error, I would've probably thought to myself "this is not for me, my mental capacity is not big enough to understand this black magic" and given up on such a beautiful thing that is programming. 3. OOP is being moved away from. Trends both in business and hobby are signaling that programmers in general are moving back towards imperative programming. Functional programming also picked up a lot of notability in recent years and even started being supported in JavaScript and Python. With the amount of hate OOP has been getting for decades, and the rise of object-oriented languages that get rid of traditional (and controversial) OOP features (such as classes and inheritance) - i.e. Go and Rust - it seems the world has decided Java and OOP aren't good enough to be the "standard" anymore. This basically suggests that learning Java means you'll be maintaining legacy codebases, while most new projects will be done either in much more portable JavaScript and Python, or "cooler" languages like Rust and Go. BTW, "A language is just a tool to solve a problem. People say "oh I hate this language because of this", don't be one of them. Be a person that can work with any language." is such a real and valuable and underrated statement, you get points in my book for that. People forget that at the end of the day programming languages, code editors, etc. are just tools to get the job done and petty fights serve no purpose other than distract you from your work. I picked up Java just because I wanted to, and no amount of Java/OOP hate will change my mind. A good programmer is not one that masters a specific tool, but one that can solve a problem no matter what tool you throw at them.

[@archer7217]

Agreed! Java is still mesmerizing!

[@mohdotnet]

Jazakallah fantastic advice. Could not agree more with you. A language is just a tool. If I may add. I would always recommend a developer to specialise first in one language. Become a master in it, but also keep yourself open and adaptable to other language where required.

Very good video.Most people says that PHP is over.But PHP still in demand and there are various vacancies for all level programmers in PHP.

[@businessparis9364]

PHP is ok if you already learn it but i wouldnt recommend a beginner to start with PHP. Rather Typescript/JS since that is destined to stick around.

[@iGoPro007]

@Amigoscode, you mentioned that learning Java after learning other languages are quite difficult. I know Javascript/Typescript/React and NodeJS. I am getting more interested in Java because where are job opportunities with it in my region. What are the main challenges to learn Java after technologies I mentioned? T.Y. in advance :)
