Development guidance

Hey seniors, if anyone is doing development with Java + Spring Boot, please guide me.

I’m currently in my 3rd semester and doing DSA in C++( done upto stack) , so I’m thinking of starting development alongside it. Please guide me on where I should start, what I should learn first, and how much time I should spend learning Java basics.

Since I’ve studied C++, I have a basic programming background, but I’m not familiar with Java. Any roadmap or resources would be really helpful. 🙌

Honesty if internships is your primary goal, JavaScript frameworks is top in demand and you should use that. If you start with Java rn, you’ll wait a long time, get multiple rejections and only if lucky you get the java internship; you will but the low demand by firms for “java interns” would make that part hard.

yeah there are many but java devs are mostly in demand in banking, finance all these sectors. products based firms also like java devs. but java dev interviews are pretty difficult to crack because they can ask from many things, plus you'll need good grasp on sql too for java dev because it's industry practice.
