Ello Im Annie
Back to Introduce Yourself forum
Hey everyone, I'm Annie. I'm 21 and from the US. I'm currently looking to find my first job, but offer commissions for art. My hobbies are reading, drawing, and gaming primarily.
I've been self-teaching java for the last couple months mainly with exercises from here and would like to one day find work in the field.
Hi Annie! Nice to meet you!
You seem to do a good progress - I am java programmer myself and I know quite well that this language is somewhat tough, especially for beginner. I remember days when I was starting self-teaching it myself - and sometimes I was close to despair :)
I had a glance at your sources. It looks you are quite confident with "java coding conventions" - which is really great to see, because in industrial coding most developers will readily forgive any bugs in logic, but never forgive the poor coding style :)
> one day find work in the field
Do you aim to precisely java programmer position, or to QA-automation with Java+Selenium, which is sometimes comparatively easier to begin career with?
I'm aiming for a java programmer position c:
It's a bit tough finding out what I need to do next sometimes but google and poking around sites like stackoverflow has been keeping me more or less on track as things go on so far. As far as coding style goes, I kind of figured that it would follow as I learned more and could go back to try and touch up on the effeciency of what I had written before.
> It's a bit tough finding out what I need to do next
You probably already have noticed the link to my own story about learning java. It is in the form of a guide - perhaps it may help in outlining the general steps... Sorry for it is verbose - as the java itself :D
> but google and poking around sites like stackoverflow
Yes, you speak of the right way - I myself use google quite heavily everyday... That was somewhat harder to learn in pre-internet times... :)
