Basics of Programming and Web Development
Java Basics: Learn the core concepts in Java, like variables, data types, and loops, along with key ideas in object-oriented programming (OOP) such as classes, inheritance, and encapsulation.
HTML & CSS: Understand HTML for creating web page structure and CSS for styling, including layouts and responsive design.
JavaScript Essentials: Cover basic JavaScript syntax, how to work with the page content (DOM), and new features like promises and async functions.
Frontend Development
Advanced JavaScript: Dive deeper into JavaScript with concepts like functions, closures, and async programming.
Frontend Framework: React (or Angular/Vue): Learn React basics (components, state) and advanced topics (hooks, context, routing, and state management).
Frontend Tools: Use tools like SCSS for better CSS, frameworks like Bootstrap or Tailwind for faster styling, and build tools like Webpack and npm to manage code efficiently.
Backend Development with Java
Core Java: Work with Java collections, handle errors, and use streams and lambdas for efficient code.
Database Fundamentals: Learn SQL for database interactions and JDBC to connect Java with databases.
Java Web Development: Use Servlets and JSP for web applications, Maven for managing projects, and start with Spring Framework for structured, modular code.
Full Backend Development with Spring and Databases
Spring Boot: Set up Spring Boot, create REST APIs, and connect to databases with Spring Data JPA.
Advanced Spring Concepts: Learn authentication with Spring Security and explore microservices with Spring Cloud.
Testing: Write tests for your code using JUnit and Mockito, and test how components work together.
Advanced Topics and Tools
Frontend Advanced Skills: Learn TypeScript for structured JavaScript and use libraries like Material-UI for ready-made components.
DevOps Basics: Understand Git for version control, set up CI/CD pipelines for automated deployments, and use Docker for app packaging.
Caching and Optimization: Use Redis for storing frequently used data and CDNs for faster content loading.
System Design and Project Building
System Design Fundamentals: Learn how to design scalable applications, use design patterns, and plan databases for large projects.
Capstone Project: Build a full application with the skills learned, including features like user login, data handling, and a responsive frontend.
Advanced System Design: Explore how to design complex, distributed systems with concepts like CAP theorem and consistent hashing.
Keep Practicing and Building
Practice Coding: Use platforms like Leet Code or HackerRank to practice problem-solving.
Continuous Learning: Stay updated with new Java and frontend developments and connect with the tech community for growth.
This plan will give you a strong foundation in full-stack development, system design, and advanced coding practices.
