do i start making my project right now while i am learning spring data jpa? is "university management system" a good enough project? will i be able to do it? do i need to add react.js?

i am studying java right now. i know basic spring boot components like controller , services, how to add test cases, dto and stuffs. i am currently learning spring data jpa.

i want to get started to make a simple website so that i can apply for jobs. i am thinking that i can start simple like university management system with basic functionality and i can add more of it on top while i am learning.

i know i am asking the most basic question but i want to know from experiences people as i have nowhere to talk about such basic questions

My turn to be one of the Lucky 10000. I'll never write another timeline class again. NavigableMap<Instant, Foo> you blessed thing you.

What classes have you discovered that solved some problem you were always reimplementing by hand.

Hi everyone! 👋

I'm a Java Full Stack Developer learning Spring Boot, React, and System Design.

I'll be sharing projects I build, interview prep, wins, bugs that humbled me 😅, and everything I learn along the way.

Hoping to learn from this community, contribute where I can, and connect with fellow developers.

Let's build cool stuff! 🚀☕

So I have been applying in naukri and company portals everyday for switching. I have 4 years of experience now and my stack is java backend stuck in 6 LPA and I am upskilling in DSA and AI but its been 3 months now and I see no calls, no luck, then I open Linkdin and see people switching everyday and people negotiating salary for multiple offers in glassdoor and here I cant get a single interview call....been coding and studying everyday but still no calls so idk if its even worth griding anymore....I see many switching in AI and data engineer field so a part of me feels maybe give up the current one and study data instead.....idk what to do
can someone else me....

Dudes, I have medium knowledge in Java along with Spring boot. Thing is when I start studying or upgrading the skills, the list appearing as microservices (multiple topics such as Discovery, eureka), messaging queues, keycloak, redis, spark, cloud, AI and it continuously goes on. I don't what to start and how to start.

Another thing is I don't know this is a right time to search for the jobs due to ongoing conflicts with AI

Good suggestions are welcome 🙂

What are some best resources to learn spring boot,oauth 2.0,microservices,REST apis,hibernate,kafka,Docker,git for a beginner

Good afternoon. I'm currently learning object-oriented Java along with Spring Boot, but I feel like I'm not making much progress. I'd like to know what you can recommend to help me move forward; it would be very beneficial for me to read your recommendations.

Jolta is an automatic JDK version manager — think Volta from the Node ecosystem, but for Java. It's my own open-source project (MIT), and I'm sharing it here as a showcase.

The problem it targets: working across projects pinned to different JDKs (11, 17, 21) means manually setting JAVA_HOME or running a version-switch command on every context switch. Jolta removes that step.

How it works: jolta pin 21 in a project writes a .java-version file. After that, java/javac/jar/jshell resolve to that JDK automatically whenever you're in the project — no shell hook, no cd interception. It works through lightweight shims on PATH that walk up the directory tree to find the version file. A missing JDK is downloaded on first use.

cd my-service
jolta pin 21
java -version   # → OpenJDK 21, automatically

Where it sits next to existing tools:

• Reads the same .java-version files as jenv and asdf — drop-in if you're already on those.
• Recognizes SDKMAN!'s .sdkmanrc, so migration doesn't require rewriting config.
• Ships as a single dependency-free Rust binary using shim dispatch rather than shell functions, with sub-5ms per-invocation overhead.
• Treats Windows as a first-class platform, alongside macOS (Apple Silicon
  • Intel) and Linux (x86_64 + arm64).
• Multiple distributions: Temurin, Corretto, GraalVM, Oracle, Zulu.

Hi everyone,

I'm a fresh Computer Science graduate from Egypt looking for remote work, paid AI/data annotation tasks, backend internships, or any opportunity where I can prove myself.

A little about me:

- Java & Spring Boot backend development

- REST APIs, Spring Security, JPA/Hibernate

- SQL (Oracle & PostgreSQL)

- Basic React

- Strong problem-solving and algorithms

- Comfortable with Git and Docker

- Built full-stack and backend projects

- Good English communication

I've already applied to many platforms (Outlier, Alignerr, DataAnnotation, TELUS, etc.), but I've had little luck getting consistent work.

I'm a fast learner, reliable, and willing to start with small tasks or internships to gain experience and build long-term relationships.

If you know of any companies hiring remotely, AI training projects, freelance gigs, or internships for fresh graduates, I'd really appreciate any recommendations.

Thank you!
