It will take longgggg time...

It does, indeed. I have learnt some of those and you are right. With ongoing and changing technology it is harder too.

Learning Java SE 8 (or above) is kind of pre-requisite (as per me) as it requires knowledge of functional programming constructs, streams, etc., and also database programming.

In fact, I am learning Spring Boot programming seriously nowadays (last week I finished a free course from Spring Academy and felt good about it).

Cheers!

I proceeded to Java EE after having learnt some fundamentals of Java SE such as classes (including lambda expression), interface, inheritance, generics, annotations, packages, basic beans, deployment with Jar, a few concepts of collections and basic IO (streams). I suspended learning JDBC, concurrency and other stuffs because I wanted to start to learn Java EE.

I suspended learning JDBC, concurrency and other stuffs because I wanted to start to learn Java EE.

I think JDBC is important. Though its low level and detailed, thats where one learns the basics of data access using Java. I feel it is a required foundation for JPA, EJB, Spring JDBC, etc. Java Threads and concurrency is another important concept in a similar way. Web and enterprise applications are all about concurrent access. The third one is the network programming.

Yes, Java has a lot to learn about!
