Noob programmer here and I've recently taken an interest in Java. Been playing around with a bit and enjoying it overall. I started with C and kind of liked the procedural approach to problem solving but wanted something a bit more modern (you know, with strings and such) and Java is satisfying that. One question I've been having however is whether or not Java is limited in any way by its heavy use of OOP compared to other languages that have a more multi-paradigm approach. Are other programming paradigms able to be used in Java, and if so is it common? Are different paradigms just different ..read more

I have a Java library which contains a bunch of structured data. That data needs to be queried at runtime but shouldn’t change between versions. I have been storing this data in basically a text file in the jars resources. Recently I started thinking about SQLite and how it may provide some of the same functionality I need and be less bespoke. Instead of me needing to worry about serialization and deserialization SQLite may be able to give me some of this better. Has anyone embedded a SQLite file in their jars resources? Is it a bad idea? I’m betting the bespoke solution may be faster when op ..read more

I’m a junior developer with 2 years of experience with SpringBoot. Recently was looking for a new position and they mentioned they use JEE and their application was a middle layer processing a lot of data.

Are there any specific questions I can ask to ensure this will be a good experience for my career? submitted by /u/bloomusa [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Does anyone know any open source Java projects that will help the world? Whether it be for the environment, nature, etc? I want to contribute but I feel like I don’t really have energy if it is not helping the world become a better place? This is my first time doing open source so if you can point me to the correct direction, I would really appreciate that submitted by /u/South_Dig_9172 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Needed to share my love for Duke, the Java mascot so here are my notes learning C for my CS degree. I finished both my Java classes but his spirit lives on within me (in my C notes). I am not going insane I promise don't think too hard about the amount of Duke in my notes- This has nothing to do with Java discussions aside from discussing the Java mascot but I couldn't find anywhere in the rules saying I can't post Duke art. This subreddit needs a little Duke whimsy anyways I hope. Enjoy submitted by /u/CynicalBlitz [visit reddit] [comments ..read more
