Hey dev community! 👋
I just published a new article on the GitHub Blog examining why Java remains a cornerstone of enterprise development after 30 years.
In "Why Java endures: The foundation of modern enterprise development", I share my personal journey learning Java after pretending to be an Android developer (true story!) and explore how Java has evolved from verbose enterprise code to powering everything from Minecraft to AI systems.
The article covers:
- Java's evolution and simplification for new developers
- How Java's ecosystem serves as building blocks for modern innovation
- Java's strategic role in AI deployment at scale
- Practical tips for learning Java
As someone who transitioned from the Army and construction management to software development, I've found Java to be both learnable and highly employable - a perfect combination for career growth.
Would love to hear your Java experiences in the comments! Are you using it for enterprise work, mobile development, or something completely different?
