So as an aspiring Software DEveloper, I "learned" syntax and basic things from these languages: HTML CSS Python Kotlin C#. That being said I started looking for work and 4/5 job posts were specifically labeled as "Jr. Java Developer". Java is already running the world, that means companies would need to spend a whole lot of money to have everything rewritten in another language. Java isnt going anywhere. If you are like me and just starting out and have basic languages under ur belt, just learn Java. The Job market quadruples if you can write in Java.

Java is still widely used in enterprise. I’ve just started a job where the company’s existing platform is built in Java

I Am writing Java for 10 years. 10 years I hear "java is going to die soon". And after 10 years, not only it didn't die but recently EU made java with spring boot it's official language (with reactjs on front) .

Bro, I'm from 2030. It's still worth learning now.

Learning Java, as someone who didn't know what OOP even was, was a great way to at least learn what it is, and looking at experienced Java developers' code and understanding it helped me understand how to use classes and methods efficiently.

Whilst java is a great language, oracle is possibly one of the worst companies.

I hope so. I have already spent 3+ years developing in Java. Java was the first language my University taught us. I have used many other languages since such as python, html, javascript, C, etc. Still enjoy developing in java better than any other language I have tried thus far. Mainly because java has such good testing options and is not overly convoluted or complex like the C language for instance. The Java language just seems to click with me (probably because I have written most of my code in Java)

Bro, I was literally thinking about this last night as a beginner, thank you.

I learnt the theory of programming with Java. It's a great start-up language. Now my knowledge is transferable to many languages. So if you are looking to start programming, find a language, put the theory into practice with that language and you should be okay.

Java with spring, I think the spring layer really brings along some nice abstractions and makes it easier to build applications using Java

Glad to hear what the comments said below. I just started learning Java weeks ago as the Python course of my school are full and am annoyed to write so many codes to do so few things. Yet, after hearing you guys said I feel more comfortable.

Don't ever sleep on it. Java will still be running in the next 20 years. Most of the successful infrastructures and services that makes our life better was developed and being developed with Java.

Java will always be a important part of coding and in back-end Java is outstanding (Maybe that´s because i´m javadeveloper) but it´s also a good start for anyone is pretty easy to learn the concept of Java and when you know it then the world is open for you, you can easy and quick learn Rust, Ruby, Python, Kotlin and so on. You forgot in the video the "DRY"(Don´t repeat yourself) where you use classes and heritage with superclasses and subclasses. So a clean code is important in all coding but in Java you will learn this from the beginning. But i liked the video :)

I'm not a Java programmer but I still think it is a great first language to learn for programmers. Once you get competent at Java you can move into any language easily.

You should've mentioned abstract classes and single-inheritance as pros. These are very powerful features that are not fully appreciated by many people. Java can also be compiled for a hardware target. Java is good for DB connectivity and has lots of solutions for persistence. It's good for server-side tasks like web-services with the use of Tomcat.

Ok, Great topic! I agree with the strengths and flaws of JAVA. It's difficult , nowadays, to understand why a languaje get used and rise in popularity. Of course the people backing them it's important, support for multiple platforms it's a factor, but what I think account more for that is the shape of the learning curve. Seems to be that the learning curve of python it's really fast compared to C# or JAVA. Kotlin and Go also are advertised as lean languajes, but we all know for experience that when doing something real, the amount of code will pile up like crazy in any languaje. said this, I'm still undicided on weather I should learn JAVA, comming from C#, I better join a JavaScript based stack like Node.Js.

this is the EXACT video I needed thanks a lot!

what is it actually used for?

Really useful to hear your thoughts, thank you.

Java being my first language really helped me understand programming and now I can learn any language with ease.

i am not a coder or anything, but I have studied programming theory and fundamentals, and everything he explained makes sense to me. basically he went down the basics that a book taught me to help people understand the scope of programming languages and programming altogether.

The graph at 5:19 is comparing language use by all users on the left to language use by professional developers on the right.

Thanks for the free trial. Just the resource I was looking for learning JAVA

Just a couple of things: 1) in Java not everthyng is an object: there are also primitives; b) Java is slower compared to C, but faster compared to Phyton: but there are very few applications where the better performance of C is really needed.

Java is my favourite programming language

you have a great way of teaching things, thanks !

you make really good videos. You have a nice way of explaining complex things in an easily understandable way. Better than alot of programming channels I've seen

Bro I lost it on the you vs the guy she tells you not to worry about meme lmfao.

Java is so pleasant to work with. There is everything u can think of built in, its ridiculous and my lazyass loves it

I like the fresh look!

It is worth learning if you’re watching this now, they are approaching a more data oriented programming design where they try to use for instance Optional in standard libraries more and more. Additionally in the light of several projects such as loom and valhalla which aim to increase performance for Java systems by allowing developers to use “light weight”-usermode threads for instance. Yes the drawbacks of Java is its garbage collector from time to time as well as nullability. However the language is still used so it might be worth to take a look at :3

Simple answer: yes. Many businesses use it. It has powerful frameworks that connect in with it. If you know C# it is similar.

6:08 for that a little change to StringUtils would do the job, so I guess constant updates would help Java in that problem

Thank you very much for your course.

Great video!

Sam..can't get enough of your videos..thank you 😊

The Java code at 6:06 would not run. the parameter past into the reverse method is called "str" but in the for loop they use a variable called "hello" which is not defined. Also StringBuilder has a reverse method, so you don't need the for loop at all. The Java example is over complicated. I could write this with 6 lines of code and it would be readable. Still 4 lines more than python though

Learning Java right now! I will say it can be tedious but after doing a small python class Java seems like a better starting point. I can learn the logic in Java and later can pick up other languages easier it seems!

I build java videogames on my channel. It is one of the best languages to learn in my opinion. I learned it when I was 14 and my college taught it for their CS degree. I got credited/skipped many of these classes because I was so far ahead and knew everything already because Java taught me when I was young.

I loved learning java and I had to learn it when I was 15 for FRC. It's a awesome robotics platform that my highschool competed in

Noti gang 🤟🏻🤟🏻

I would say: If you're a freelance, Single Developer, go with: Javascript, Python....and the interpreter is your team, ( Save You A Lot Of Time - Cross Platform ) If you want want to work for a large company go with a compiled language and aim for a specific role. It depends on the value you want to deliver.

Sup dude, I love your videos

I just discovered you

Quick question: how prevalent is Java in 2021? I know Google's API uses Java, but do most applications use Java to program their APIs? (Sorry I don't know much about programming. I'm learning about Google vs. Oracle and trying to understand APIs)

Thanks for the information with jetbrains learning plattform.

I've never encountered an "operating" performance problem in Java, the difference to C++ everyone is always comparing is within few percents. And in this range, it is just cheaper to either add native C++ routines for critical parts (very common), or just buy 10% faster hardware. Though I myself, even though Java was my first language 15 years ago, am drifting away from it. When I first seriously touched Python like 5 years ago, I can just never go back to that verboseness, which I ironically found as an advantage a long time ago. This is, what discourages me from catching up with all the new features (and lots of my friends too) - I just cant imagine myself to write all that stuff again to express simple things. Even though I find a Java ecosystem a lot more enterprise-ready than the Python one.

Reversing a string in java, even using a StringBuilder looks like this: class Main { public static void main(String[] args) { StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder("Hello world"); System.out.println(sb.reverse()); } } So I don't know why you showed that example

actually...why did you stop making java tutorials?!

I think it still is do to it's huge community also the wide variety of frameworks to choose from. Java is very mature for a 25 or 26 year old language. If you want to write mobile applications I suggest starting off this language before Kotlin. Sure kotlin is shorter syntax, but it is better to build on java so you can have an idea as a prerequisite before you move into kotlin. Kotlin is widely used for Android development is because it's less tedious to write a code in kotlin than it is to write java code because of it's large blocks of code that java is widely known for. My question is how long will kotlin be used for mobile if Google is creating a new operating system called fuchsia for there phones in the next year or two? Because I don't think they would announce kotlin for Android in 2016 for no reason after the span of four to five years now in the use of experience developers using kotlin for native development. I think it's also Google's approach to promote the Dart programming as one of the support languages for their next operating system. It just raises some questions.

Some banger videos lately. Really like it

For new programmers, Java is more of a medimum than the destination. It helps to smooth the learning curve from Python to C++/Go or whatever.

Not sure if it is worth learning or not , but after learning java as my first language I find other prog languages like python or JS very very very easy to work with . So , for a beginner i highly recommend to learn Java as it will setup a solid base .

You nailed it.

Hey Sam, I started JetBrain and I wasn't prompted on how to get the 1st month free? Is there a code we need for when were prompted for payment or something?

the reason why Java dropped down from that chart is mostly from the rise of web developers. big enterprises developers still mainly use java and some other new language , thats why u see only a small % down from java

Sure, java is still worth learning. Although it's a old language, there are A LOT of huge applications which use Java, and obviously many job opportunities for Java developers. At last, remember about a point: despite that many recent languages, probably Java won't lose relevance in the next years, specially because those most important applications wouldn't change their whole structure overnight (it would be really difficult)

yes it is worth it beginners can learn a lot of fundamentals through it like GUI and JavaFX and good way to go in mobile app development or database SQL

I really enjoy your videos about Java,thank you for your work)

Could you pls recommend some of the best online courses/resources to learn Core Java (both paid and non-paid works) I saw your vid about top coding books, it was very helpful.

A language that improves gradually and withstands the test of time. so yeah. Plus Java/Spring/IntelliJ is a match made in heaven.

Nice video! ;)

It is very much, you've got all the big corporations using it. Netflix uses spring boot for the backend, it is used on android natively. So definitely worth learning.

This man is amazing

Yes with Java is more coating but in example with reverse, there is a method which is more obvious 'StringBuffer sbf = new StringBuffer("Hello world"); System.out.println(sbf.reverse); ' and it seems not so complicated

I don't get when software engineers mainly use an OOP language like Java or C# for some job but then go on saying they use Python (or a scripting language in general) to script away small things. Can anyone explain why use a scripting language in combination with some more heavy lifting language?

Now what is the best and big Companey used iT ( Spring BooT Or Node JS Or .Net Core ) ???

Thanks

I’m in financial industry specifically in core banking and fund services. Majority of the applications are in java based applications. Sure, new technologies emerge but Java seamlessly integrate to it. Frameworks like Spring Book and Quarkus are still famous for developing production level applications. I would still recommend Java to beginners along with new emerging technologies like cloud, containers, etc.

So does it mean that universities that still offers java are outdated on some sort? cause i moved University bcs of pandemc. my first year of computer engineering on my first univ was using Python and this new univ was using java but their handouts was on Python for data structures.

Hi, I never work at any companie in developement, I started java a while and i would like to know wich GUI is mostly used in work environnement (please forgive my english)

Any programing language compared to C or C++ is slow. Java is pretty fast compared to Python and JavaScript.

In my opinon Java is worth learning.Why?Even tho I am new to Java and I just started learning 9 months ago, I chose it because there are lots of jobs out there that require you to know Java.It's true that if there weren't so many jobs that require Java i would have definetely chosen C++.I must be honest and say that it was really hard to learn it in the beginning but once you start working on some projects it is actually kind of fun :D.Therefore i would definetely recommend Java to any begginers (at least in my area).By the way that discord channel is really cool :D.

Useful for learning or starting off with oop and learning fundamentals of programing in general

The java code on 6:08 is wrong, variable hello in reverseString method is undefined and should be str

6:07 Couldn’t you just pass the string as a parameter of the StringBuilder, call the reverse() and toString() methods and return that?

If i'm already getting the hang of python, is Java still worth learning?

Yes, java is still huge in enterprise solutions and any java dev could easily and quickly move over to kotlin as well. Of course, nothing lasts forever in this field so never stop learning new stuff.

im still quite new to coding learned basics of html5, css, and python in school and im learning java around August but imma still drill my mind with some tutorials so that i would have some basic knowledge and they teach Java for free in your (its some kind of strand/course) 11th grade and you will start I think internships on the 12th grade to build up your hours 350hours I think it was written by the department of education here but yeah

java/C++ dev can learn any language, coz they just replace their bunch of code with a simple construct in their minds. It isn’t that seamless the other way around. Though I hate the fact that I need to write the code to calculate nCr and nPr in java just for a single calculation

Java isn't a beautiful written language, but it's definitely an undying language.

I am currently half way through a 1 year Java bootcamp course. Nice video timing :D

Wow that was a really good explanation thank you!

1st year ComSci student here, and currently learning Java(from senior high school to 1st year college). Our instructor told us why we're studying java is because our alumni said Java programming is highly on demand

HTML/CSS in a top programming languages...

Well, Java doesn't seem to work on an iPhone. No JVM for iPhones?

Excellent discussion. Tq..

As much as I don’t like Java , it’s not gonna die , it’s probably one of the most in demand languages

java is the leader in enterprise, spring cloud is the base for micro-service, one of the most used architecture currently, and spring is powerfull and easy to learn, this is like a, is php dying, is ruby on rails dying

Eh, idk, in the last 2 years of high school we learned c#, the first half of the university taught us c# (i'm not graduated yet, half way there), does it still worth it? Java is almost the same as c#, right?

Did You… make this video with a special aspect ratio for landscape phones‽

Java is evergreen 🌲

I think you accidentally said that "embraces OOP" and "garbage collector" are good things. Embraces OOP 1. Allows people to write bad OO-code easily 2. Promises re-usability but never delivers. OOP reusability needs to be earned, so components are basically just as reusable as in C (at best). GC 1. Says programmers to stop worrying about memory leaks, just causes people not think about ownership of their objects (which means bad OOP-code) 2. Releasing dynamic memory still needs to be done typically somehow(you stop referencing to it) 3. If you need to release memory, you just need to hope that GC will do it. 4. Inability to write destructor is maddening, but having GC prevents this 5. Reusing resources is really difficult, though, as we already threw any hope for performance out, perhaps this is moot point. But gotta say, I really like Java virtual machine. If you are not allowed to distribute your source code and want to run on multiple platforms easily, Java might be way to go.

'You vs the guy she tells you not to worry about' = amazing demotivational poster

Can recommend Jetbrains Academy (Hyperskill). Very detailed and in-depth material. I spent a summer on it and it is amazing.

Java was my first programming language. And I still love it. 😍 The cons "Java is slow" is not a big deal if you compare it to things like JavaScript. Java is definetly slower than C++ or Rust, but I think it still is a good choice. And yeah Java is verbose, but at least you understand what you're doing. A private field needs to have the private keyword in its declaration, it makes sense to me.

Even if its 2050 the answer is YES if its in your Semester syllabus!

I am sorry to say but I think that if you know java a good idea would be to switch to c# that it is similar

I love jetbrains, they are probably the best programming environment thingy, this is not a bot or smthing but its a genuine complement
