Learning Roadmap

1️⃣

Phase 1: Java Foundations

Master Core Java, Collections, Multithreading, Streams API, and understand how JDBC works to connect to relational databases.

2️⃣

Phase 2: Spring Ecosystem

Adopt Spring Boot. Build RESTful APIs, map entities using Hibernate and Spring Data JPA, and secure endpoints with Spring Security.

3️⃣

Phase 3: Microservices & Scale

Break monoliths into microservices. Learn Spring Cloud, message brokers like Kafka, containerize with Docker, and write JUnit/Mockito tests.
