javaDeveloper-Roadmap

Here's a structured Java Developer Roadmap to guide your learning journey:

1. Core Java (Beginner Level)

✅ Basic Syntax – Variables, Data Types, Operators, Loops, Conditionals
✅ OOP Concepts – Classes, Objects, Inheritance, Polymorphism, Abstraction, Encapsulation
✅ Exception Handling – Try-Catch, Throws, Custom Exceptions
✅ Collections Framework – List, Set, Map, Queue, Stack, Iterator
✅ Multithreading & Concurrency – Threads, Synchronization, Executors
✅ File Handling (I/O) – Reading/Writing Files, Serialization
✅ JVM, JDK, JRE & Garbage Collection

🛠 Practice: Solve problems on LeetCode, HackerRank, or CodeWars.

2. Advanced Java (Intermediate Level)

✅ Java 8+ Features – Streams, Lambda Expressions, Functional Interfaces, Optional, Method References
✅ Concurrency Utilities – CompletableFuture, ForkJoinPool
✅ JDBC (Database Connectivity) – CRUD Operations, Connection Pooling
✅ Networking (Sockets, HTTP Requests)
✅ Logging Frameworks – Log4j, SLF4J
✅ Unit Testing – JUnit, Mockito

🛠 Projects: Build CRUD applications using JDBC & Java 8 features.

3. Spring Framework (Backend Development)

✅ Spring Core – Dependency Injection, Beans, Annotations
✅ Spring Boot – REST APIs, Microservices, Spring Data JPA
✅ Spring Security – JWT Authentication, OAuth2
✅ Spring MVC – Model-View-Controller architecture
✅ Spring Cloud – Eureka, Feign, Resilience4J, Config Server
✅ Spring Batch & Spring Kafka

🛠 Projects: Build a REST API using Spring Boot and connect it to a database.

4. Database Management & SQL

✅ SQL Basics – Joins, Indexes, Views, Stored Procedures
✅ RDBMS – MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle
✅ NoSQL Databases – MongoDB, Redis, Cassandra
✅ ORM (Object-Relational Mapping) – Hibernate, JPA
✅ Database Optimization – Query Optimization, Indexing

🛠 Projects: Build a full-stack app using Spring Boot + MySQL/PostgreSQL.

5. Tools & Build Systems

✅ Maven & Gradle – Dependency Management
✅ Docker – Containerization
✅ Kubernetes – Orchestration
✅ CI/CD – Jenkins, GitHub Actions
✅ Version Control – Git, GitHub, GitLab

🛠 Projects: Create a Spring Boot Dockerized App with GitHub Actions for CI/CD.

6. Microservices & Cloud Deployment

✅ Microservices Architecture – API Gateway, Service Discovery, Load Balancing
✅ Event-Driven Architecture – RabbitMQ, Kafka
✅ Cloud Platforms – AWS (EC2, S3, Lambda, RDS), Azure, GCP
✅ Serverless Computing – AWS Lambda, Google Cloud Functions

🛠 Projects: Deploy a Spring Boot Microservice to AWS/GCP.

7. Frontend (Optional but Useful)

✅ HTML, CSS, JavaScript
✅ Frontend Frameworks – React, Angular
✅ Integration with Java Backend – REST APIs, GraphQL

🛠 Projects: Build a full-stack Java web application with React + Spring Boot.

8. System Design & Advanced Concepts

✅ Design Patterns – Singleton, Factory, Observer, Builder
✅ Distributed Systems – CAP Theorem, Consistency Models, Caching Strategies
✅ Performance Optimization – Profiling, Memory Management
✅ Security Best Practices – OWASP, HTTPS, CSRF, CORS

🛠 Projects: Design highly scalable systems using Java & distributed computing.

Next Steps

🔹 Open Source Contributions – Contribute to Java repositories on GitHub.
🔹 Competitive Coding – Participate in Codeforces, LeetCode, TopCoder.
🔹 Certifications – Oracle Certified Java Programmer (OCP), AWS Certified Developer.
🔹 Internships & Job Applications – Showcase projects, build a strong GitHub profile.
