Java is one of the most popular and useful programming languages in the world. Originally released in 1995, this object-oriented programming language is still relevant today. The Java ecosystem has flourished in all these years providing a range of robust Java technologies, such as frameworks, libraries, web development SDKs and JVM languages. Java programming has found application in various technology sectors, which is why it is one of the most preferred languages to learn by programming enthusiasts.
Today, the internet is flooded with a range of Java programming courses. As we know that programming is a vast topic and so learning Java development is a lifelong and continuous process. Hence, it becomes important for beginners as well as expert Java programmers to stay updated on the recent developments taking place within the Java ecosystem. One way is to subscribe to and follow Java programming blogs which can become a source of useful information on a daily basis.
Tips to Improve Programming Skill
Many Java developers ask me How to become a better programmer, how do I improve my programming skills, or I am good at Java but not so good on problem-solving skill etc. This is a reality, today’s era is full of language expert than real programmers. It’s easy to understand keywords, methods, and API of Java programming language, but same time it’s difficult to solve real problems, design reusable and robust software and get the maximum of data structure and algorithm. I have often seen Java programmers are not doing so well when asked to design and code a solution in limited time, but same time they are really good with Java concepts and all theory. Even senior programmers of 4 to 6 years experience in Java programming, sometimes fail to solve questions like designing.
Even senior programmers of 4 to 6 years experience in Java programming, sometimes fail to solve questions like designing coffee-maker, coding Vending Machine or sometimes even recursively reversing a linked list. I may be just moving off from becoming a better programmer, but it’s important to know your limitation and then work out to resolve those.
If you feel resistance in coding, then you should code as much as possible, if you feel stressed and lost in designing using Object-oriented analysis and design, then you should do designing using pen and paper as much as possible. This resistance is what actually preventing you from being a better programmer.
