Backend developer (Java)

Following our latest discussion about the most demanded professions in the world and Azerbaijan, today we would like to talk about a classical IT profession - a programmer, namely a Backend developer.

Here we have got some new buzz words, which are worth explaining before we dive deeper into the profession.?

Each software solution has two parts: frontend and backend.?

The Frontend is a visual part of any application and website.?It is the interface with which the users directly interact and it contains design, behavior, and content. The specialists responsible for creating the interface of an application or website are called Frontend developers. The programming language commonly used (in 95%+ cases) for creating frontends is Javascript, together with HTML and CSS.?

Meanwhile, each website or application has its part which is invisible to users, it is server-side. It stores and arranges data, processes requests to the database, and doesn’t come into direct contact with users, only through frontend requests. It is called the Backend. The Backend is built by using different programming languages: PHP, Python, C++, Java, or even Javascript together with Node.js.

Each company has its own stack of technologies for building the software, still, the most common approach for enterprise solutions is to use Javascript for the Frontend and Java for the Backend respectively.

Java is one of the most popular backend languages in the world, developed by Sun Microsystems in 1995, it is still used for many applications. What makes it so popular??

? It is an object-oriented programming language, meaning that the code is modeled and structured as a set of objects which can be manipulated, controlled, and extended.

? It is robust and has great memory management and exception handling which is crucially important for enterprise-scale applications, for instance, bank applications.

? It is platform-independent which means it is compiled to the bytecode format and can be distributed on any platform.

So, should you be interested in a programming career, feeling passionate about large and complicated applications, dealing with app architecture, database structure, and business processes, we would strongly recommend you to choose Backend development with Java.

So let’s see the requirements of the profession.

Every Junior (in other words - career starter) Java developer should be skilled with Java language syntax, collections, multithreading, version-control system and services (Git, GitHub, GitLab), the concept of OOP (Object Oriented Programming), Java Build tools (Maven), Frameworks for building web projects (Spring, Spring Boot), Object-relational mapping (Hibernate), Unit testing. Also, computer science education and algorithms knowledge is highly expected, as well as soft skills, the ability to learn quickly and follow the instructions. Current employers also expect the career starter to be able to demonstrate his/her portfolio of at least 3-to 4 projects and complete the test task at the selection stage.
