How to become a senior java developer ?

Java is everywhere and used by organizations around the world, small and large. The portability and maintainability of Java have helped to develop different applications. Everyday applications such as Wikipedia search, games like Minecraft as well as complex Maestro Mars Rover Controller and Hadoop have been created using Java.

Java operates on the principle of ‘write once, run anywhere. The compiled Java code can be used and run on all the platforms that support Java. Moreover, it is simple, free to use, and compatible with various platforms. It is essential for businesses. For which pursuing a career in java development can lead to solid, well-paying job opportunities. There is also an increase in inclination towards remote senior java developer jobs with growing favor towards outsourcing talent.

What is the scope in java development?

Java can be found in laptops, supercomputers, mobile phones, and other devices. When compared to other programming languages, it is not only simple to learn but also easy to use, write, compile, debug, and learn.

Even after 22 years of conception, Java’s popularity continues and remains the most dependable programming language for developers. It currently leads the pack in both Android mobile application development and also for developing back-end services. There are numerous Java career opportunities available around the world, and many large corporations are looking for Java developers.

What are the roles and responsibilities of a java developer?

When it comes to being a senior java developer, there is more to it than meets the eye. A senior Java developer's primary responsibility is to create user interfaces for intranet and internet applications. Daily tasks include designing Java applications, writing testable code, debugging software, and reviewing program architecture.
The roles and responsibilities of a remote Java developer job vary greatly depending on the company and position. However, here are some of the more common responsibilities:

  • Creating, deploying, and maintaining low-latency, high-volume Java applications.
  • Providing high performance and uptime.
  • Contribution at all stages of the development life cycle
  • Developing proficient, reliable, and testable software.

How to become a senior java developer?

Java is always an in-demand language and it is no wonder that competition for Java developer jobs is high. Most companies look for candidates with a Bachelor’s degree in engineering or computer science, or a related subject. However, it’s not mandatory to have a college degree as the certifications from reputed non-traditional schools are also being accepted now. With first-hand experience in software development and hard work, you can get successful remote Java developer jobs. It would also prove beneficial to have experience with relational databases, Java-based web services, SQL, and test-driven development.

As a Java developer, you must be an expert in Java SE and have familiarity with essential features and terminologies. To become comfortable with core Java, it is best to explore the free online tutorials. Next, look into Java EE or Advanced Java, which includes features such as Java Server Faces and Servlets that can be used for mobile and online applications. It can be difficult to keep track of all of the elements and terms in Java. Online courses and coding boot camps are excellent options for guiding and understanding key concepts and knowledge required to become a Java developer.

Listed below are all the skills you require to master to become a successful remote Java developer.

Skills required to become a senior java developer

Java developers must be competitive in their careers, and the skills listed below will help them become in-demand professionals:

1. Java skills

Java developers create a wide range of software, ranging from web applications to desktop applications and mobile apps to cloud systems. Java's capabilities even extend to Big Data apps written in Python. As a Java developer, you should consider the following technologies

  • Principles of object-oriented programming
  • Relational databases such as PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, and more.
  • Common version control systems like Bitbucket and Git.
  • Using an IDE (Integrated Development Environment) such as IntelliJ IDEA.
  • Front-end web technologies such as HTML, CSS, and jQuery.

2. Software design and architecture

Software design and architecture play a major role in software development processes. As a Java developer, you must be quick to identify and implement the right technology stack and architecture for the application. A good understanding of software architecture will distinguish you from other developers and this skill can help you grow your career.

3. Spring framework 5

In 2020, the Spring framework was used by more than 2000 websites to create Java applications. Spring strives to avoid tight connectivity when classes rely on other classes and interfaces from this framework and does so using explanatory notes. Spring is built on the MVC framework, which has distinct layers for business, operations, business, and representation. Most developers prefer the Spring framework as it is simple, has elegant syntax, object injection capabilities, and comes with automation testing tools such as JUnit 5.

4. Android + Kotlin

The majority of Java developers begin developing mobile applications without first completing the web development phase. Knowledge of Kotlin in developing Android applications gives you an advantage and helps you to stand out. The Android platform is shifting toward Kotlin, which is essentially a modified version of the Java programming language.

5. Unit Testing

As the Java application grows in size, so does the amount of work necessary to support and write automated tests, such as integration tests and unit tests required to launch an application. The implementation and assembly of any Java application takes time. This is where unit testing tools like TestNg and JUnit come in. These frameworks make it easier to write automated tests, provide immediate feedback on passed tests, and have simple syntax. JUnit promotes a "testing first" approach, which increases programmer productivity while also improving codebase stability. This reduces the programmer's workload and debugging time.

6. Principles of SOLID

Object-oriented programming has introduced cutting-edge approaches to application design. Under the acronym SOLID, Robert Martin introduced five principles of object-oriented programming:

  • Principle of Single Responsibility: The main idea is that each class should only be in charge of one thing.
  • Open-Closed Principle: The open-closed principle states that classes, modules, and functions should be extensible but not modifiable.
  • Liskov Substitution Principle: This principle states that superclasses should be replaced with subclasses.
  • Interface Segregation Principle: According to this, interfaces are developed for specific clients and these clients do not rely on interfaces that they do not use.
  • Dependency Inversion Principle: The Principle of Dependency Inversion states that higher-level modules should not rely on lower-level modules.

7. DevOps Tools

Among the top Java skills, DevOps knowledge is required. The Java developer must be familiar with the concepts of continuous deployment and continuous integration, as well as Jenkins' role in both processes. Senior-level Java developers must be well-versed in popular DevOps tools such as Kubernetes, Maven, Chef, Docker, and Jenkins because their responsibilities include implementing coding best practices and creating scripts and manuals.
