When you talk about a Java developer, he can be a fresher or have experience of 10 years or more. That doesn’t matter. What matters is in this duration whether you have worked on different projects. So in those projects you might have used these tools or technologies but still it’s my job to list that for you. Even if you are a fresher, it’s good for you if you know these technologies because it will be helpful for you to get a job.
1) Companies are normally going for full standard uppers where one person should know both front end and back end web development. When it comes to front end, we tend to talk about HTML, CSS, JavaScript. But along with that you need to work on front end frameworks and that is where Angular and React comes into picture. You can learn and work on any one- either Angular or React.
2) When we work on a project, we also need to create the giant file creatingbthe word file and also manage the dependencies. What if, in your project you need to create jar files and also you need to create a jar out of it. That is where the build management tool- Maven and Gradle comes into picture.
3) Based on your experience, you may have worked on different IDE’s like eclipse. But to increase productivity, you need to start working in IntelliJ ultimate version. The community version does not support the exterprise part. So you have to use the ultimate version. But you have to pay for it. It is upto you to decide whether you want to save time or save money.
4) A developer normally focusses on the development part. But there is a need for debugging your code by yourself. There is a testing team. But if you want to test every class you create, that’s where unit testing comes into picture. One of the best frameworks for testing is JUnit. So make sure that you learn JUnit because it will help you test your software so that you will have less bugs in your code.
5) Okay, how can you increase your productivity more. Of course using IDE and using testing software. But of you follow a particular framework, it will help you to build your project faster and also help you to maintain your project. For different types of scenarios, we have different frameworks famous. But one framework is getting famous a lot and is used by companies now. That is Spring Framework. Spring Framework gives you a lot of features in built, you can write less code and it will also help you to maintain your project. We also have a concept of spring security. It will help you prevent your website from hackers.
6) If you need to include a payment gateway, you don’t need to create a new payment gateway. You can connect with a payment gateway service using REST/postman.
7) Once you built an application, you will release new versions upon development. It is better to have numbers for that. This version control is provided by Git. If you are in a team and you have to share the code you are working on to a team member, you can use Git.
8) If you have a big project and want to add a small module to that, just integrate it with the help of CI/CD. After integration, you can also deploy it.
9) Docker- Its primary focus is to automate the deployment of applications inside software containers and the automation of operating system level virtualization on Linux. It’s more lightweight than standard Containers and boots up in seconds.
10) Cloud- Cloud provides all the services instantly. We have Google could service, Amazon cloud service, Microsoft also has one. Amazon holds the most of the market share in cloud. The amazing this is for one year it would be free for a user. Try using it.
