Is It A Good Idea To Learn Java At This Age by urdevopsguy(op): 8:07am On Feb 26

Is it a good advice for one to learn java at 40? I am planning on learn java but I don't know if it is a good idea? How is the job market right now for java developers? I am a laravel developer. I also do devops/cloud

Nothing is impossible even at this age.

Java learning curve is steep. Core Java can take up to minimum of 6 months. Spring/Springboot can take up to 4 months. This knowledge is not enough again. You have to learn Spring security which can take up to 3 months. Microservices is becoming a norm (though debatable between monolith architecture and microservices architecture). Knowledge of CI/CD, Cloud (AWS etc) is becoming a must.

Java is a powerful strict Type PL. I love it. Lots of new dev always sideline Java because of its verbosity but in my experience, the verbosity makes it easy to debug your code.

Python programing language instead of java script...because most employers now run on Python
