How to become a Java developer in 2021?

Java is a cross-platform object-oriented programming language primarily designed for lesser dependencies on implementation. It is a fast, secure and reliable platform for application development and widely used for developing Java applications in data centers, laptops, gaming consoles, mobile phones and more. Java platform is a collection of programs that aid developers and programmers to develop and run Java applications seamlessly and efficiently. It is similar to C++ but much more advanced and simplified, it is free to access and can be run on all platforms. It is concurrent where instead of sequentially executing the statements, you can execute many. It follows the logic of “Write Once, Run Anywhere” which means the compiled code can be used and run on all platforms supporting Java.

What is the scope in Java development?

Java is omnipresent, in laptops, in supercomputers, mobile phones and more. It is not only easy to learn but also is designed in a way that is easy to use, write, compile, debug and learn when compared to other programming languages.

The success of Java continues even after 22 years and it also continues to grow in popularity and usage as it is believed to be the most reliable programming language in the community of developers. It is currently leading the pack in the Android mobile application development market along with the back-end market. There are immense Java career opportunities across the globe and there are many giant enterprises looking for Java developers. A wide range of applications from enterprise systems to consumer devices are being developed by Java programming. It helps in developing and deploying the applications and services with 9 million developers worldwide.

What are the roles and responsibilities of a Java developer?

A Java developer is responsible for designing, development and management of Java based applications. As it is used widely even by large organizations, the day-to-day roles and responsibilities can vary widely but they work on a particular application or several applications at a time. The job description of a remote Java developer jobs goes much beyond just computer programming. Many roles require that the remote Java developer jobs take part in full software development lifecycles. They should also strive to enhance the overall product by giving alternative measures and technologies to achieve the overall goal.

A Java developer will be a part of an IT team within an organization. There can be a single team or many smaller IT teams working on individual projects depending on the structure of the organization. The Java developer will report to an overall IT manager or a senior project manager who then reports up the chain. The designations of remote Java developer jobs are typically written as Entry-level Java developer, Mid-level Java developer and Senior Java developers.

A remote Java developer job’s roles and responsibilities depend greatly on the company and specific position. However, here are some of the typical responsibilities –

  • Designing, implementing and maintaining low-latency and high-volume Java applications Which are generally required for mission-critical systems.
  • Delivering high performance and availability.
  • Contribution in every phase of the development life cycle.
  • Writing efficient, well-designed and testable code.
  • Conducting debugging, programming, testing and software analysis.
  • Managing development of Java and Java EE applications.
  • Make sure that the designs comply with the specifications.
  • Prepare and produce releases of software components.
  • Transforming requirements into specifications.

How to become a Java developer?

As Java is such an in-demand language, the competition for jobs in Java is cutthroat. Customarily, the companies have looked for candidates with a BS degree in computer engineering, computer science or a related subject. A college degree is not necessarily required and the certifications from certain recognized non-traditional schools are accepted now. You can get a successful remote Java developer job as long as you have hands-on experience of software development and you are willing to work hard. The companies also look for Java developers who have experience with relational databases, Java-based web services, ORM, SQL and test-driven development.

Every good Backend developer and Java developer should be well-versed with Java SE, and for mastery one needs to be familiar with the features and terminologies. One way to be familiar with Core Java is to explore the free variant of Java and go through the free online tutorials. The next to explore is Java EE or Advanced Java which comes with additional features that you can use for mobile and online applications like Java Server Faces and Servlets. As there are a lot of elements and terms to keep track of in Java, it can get overwhelming. The online courses and coding bootcamps are a great option to guide and understand important concepts and knowledge needed to become a Java developer.

Skills required to become a Java developer

The Java developers need to gain a competitive in their career and below mentioned are the skills that turn them into a demanded professional –

  1. 1. Basic Java skills

    Java developers build various software, from web applications to desktop to mobile apps and cloud systems. The capabilities of Java stretch also to Big Data apps with Python. The following technologies should be considered as a Java developer in your career –

    • Object-oriented programming principles.
    • Relational databases like MySQL, MariaDB and PostgreSQL.
    • Popular version control systems like Bitbucket and Git.
    • Working with an IDE (Integrated Development Environment) like IntelliJ IDEA.
    • Front-end technologies for web like HTML, CSS, jQuery.

  2. 2. Software design and architecture:

    In the process of software development, software design and architecture are the most relevant phases. It is a crucial skill for any Java developer to be able to see the true picture and decide on the right technology stack and architecture to implement in the application. You can accelerate your career by learning software architecture as this skill will distinguish you from other developers.

  3. 3. Spring framework 5:

    In the year 2020, 2000+ websites used Spring framework to build Java applications. Spring strives to stay away from the tight connectivity when classes depend on other classes and interfaces from this framework and use explanatory notes for this purpose. Spring is based on the MVC framework that has distinct business, operations, business and representation layers. Spring is appreciated by the developers for its elegant syntax, object injection capabilities, simplicity and automation testing tools like Junit 5.

  4. 4. Android + Kotlin

    Most of the Java developers start developing mobile applications neglecting the web development phase. The knowledge of Kotlin in developing Android applications help you gain a competitive edge and help in standing out. The Android platform is moving towards Kotlin which is primarily a modified version of Java language.

  5. 5. Unit Testing

    As the Java application grows, it comes with more work to maintain and write automated tests including integration tests and unit tests required to launch an application. In Java, the deployment and assembly of any application is not that fast. Here’s when unit testing tools like TestNg and JUnit come into play. These frameworks speed up the writing of automated tests, give immediate feedback on passed tests and offer an easy syntax. JUnit promotes a “testing first” approach that enhances the productivity of the programmer along with stability of the codebase. This reduces the load on the programmer and time spent on debugging.

  6. 6. Principles of SOLID

    Object-oriented programming has brought in the latest approaches for application designing. Robert Martin has introduced five principles of Object-oriented programming designed under the acronym SOLID:

    • Single Responsibility Principle: The main idea is that a class should only be responsible for one thing.
    • Open-Closed Principle: Classes, modules and functions should be open for extension but not for modification.
    • Liskov Substitution Principle: Superclasses should be replaced by subclasses.
    • Interface Segregation Principle: Interfaces are designed for a specific client and the client does not depend on interfaces they don’t use.
    • Dependency Inversion Principle: The higher-level modules should not depend on lower-level modules.

  7. 7. DevOps Tools

    The knowledge of DevOps is a must among the top Java skills. The Java developer has to be familiar with continuous deployment, continuous integration and Jenkins’s role in both the processes. The senior level Java developers need a strong knowledge of popular DevOps tools like Kubernetes, Maven, Chef, Docker and Jenkins as their responsibilities include implementing coding best practices and creating scripts and manuals.
