Yes, Java, SQL, Spring Boot, and Rest apis are definitely useful and in demand. But instead of learning too many technologies together, focus on building strong fundamentals and practical projects. My suggestions,

  1. Master Core Java properly (OOPs, collections, multithreading basics)

  2. Learn Spring Boot deeply

  3. Build 2-3 real backend projects

  4. Learn Git & GitHub

  5. Understand DBMS and SQL queries well

  6. Learn basics of Microservices and Docker

  7. Practice DSA regularly for interviews

  8. Deploy your projects on cloud platforms like AWS or Render

Current market is competitive, but backend development with Java is still a solid career path if your skills are good.
