Today is my 10 year java anniversary

Yaaay🎉

@Torbuntu whats holdin u back

@Torbuntu oh you mean professionally. I wouldnt worry too much, like a third of total jobs are java, i get 2-3 offers /day, its a huge market.

@Torbuntu mmmh if you have a few own projects it shouldnt be hard, where u @ ?

@Torbuntu fuck i wanted to give a few companies who hire a shitload of java devs but i only know european ones :/
Throw together some mvc app, i got my first job with nothing but a sticky note app in my portfolio

Congrats man!! I wish I could do more Java programming at work. I get small projects from time to time (maintenance mostly) but I am in the verge of selecting the stack for a project on a big company where I live (south Texas) so hopefully this will be my lucky break! I was reading more about Spark as per your recommendation. Downloaded a test app, immediately knew where everything goes and is. This feeling man I want it to be on a daily basis.

@BindView im Learning java currently. Still not very good but learning. Did you need to learn any additional technologies or languages when you got your first java job or just java by it self got you hired?

I wish I could celebrate 10 yrs actionscript anniversary. You chose a language that iPads didn't make obsolete. Congratulations.

Congratulations! Am currently learning Java, with spring.

@kaloxy Spring Boot or just Spring? If you're not using Spring Boot, I'd really recommend you in doing so :)

You have my sympathy.

(hint: I actually don't dislike java)
(hint1: I like redundancy)
(hint2: arrays start at 0)

Isn't it worth learning kotlin instead of java?

@chrisrhymes It depends on your goal. If your goal is to get a job, then no. Not many companies have adopted Kotlin yet

@virus200 i dont think i knew much, aside from jdbc and swing

@tirthaguha damn i came here to rant, not to feel

@kaloxy you too, try out java spark, its basically spring but better

@chrisrhymes since there is a kotlin job for every 20 java jobs, no, not really

@BindView Cool. Will give it a try. What's the difference with Java play?

So you're good at Javascript cuz it's the same

@lucaIO yea

@kaloxy play is more of a templating framework, spark is literally just the model and controller layer of your mvc app

@lucaIO JavaScript is not the same as Java. Though the syntax may look similar, they are two different technologies.

@kaloxy wasn't serious. It's absolutely clear that there is a difference but it was a joke because beginners often think it's the same (just because the names are similar)

@lucaIO Cool! Happy coding!

@BindView how long were you learning to code before you got a job?

@virus200 kinda hard to answer but effectively somewhere between 1 and 2 years

@torbuntu whered your rants go??
