I would like to draw the attention of everyone who thinks that the Javarash course requires too much time and effort (money)! For me, the task of learning Java in 1 year (that’s how I set it for myself) was aggravated by the presence of two children (0.5 years old and 4 years old), lack of work at that time, and, as it seemed to me then, the main problem was age - 35 years old . For the purity of the description, it must be said that there were also advantages - a background in the form of a physics diploma, experience as a system administrator, experience in creating websites (HTML + CSS), plus 5 years of experience in a large telecommunications company, as the head of the operation department of a city Internet network. Nevertheless, there was essentially no direct programming experience other than Basic at school and TurboPascal at university. I was inspired, firstly, by the loss of my job, and secondly, in the process of searching for a blog of one “colleague in misfortune . ” Not right away, but I came across Javarash - around the end of January 2015 and away we go... Around the beginning of classes, I bought Philosophy of JavaBruce Eckel. By April, the first 10 levels had been completed and almost all the problems had been solved, then there was a promotion on Javarash, in connection with which a subscription was purchased (by the way, it seems that for the fact that all the problems were solved, the discount was another $20 more). By August, approximately 23 - 25 levels had been completed; however, the tasks had already been solved somewhere up to level 20. I took a 2 week vacation and set a date for an interview with essentially the only large company in my region. Because an approximate list of questions was worked out in advance, and I intensively prepared for the theory, then the technical interview went well (about 40 minutes on Skype), the second stage was writing a test task, and the technology stack alone terrified me. JSF + Primefaces, Hibernate, Java7, PostgreSQL, Glassfish, with JUnit and Maven as additional (optional) requirements. And I had to write a typical CRUD “Online Library” web application with the ability to authorize and manage user roles. I had practically no clear idea about Java EE at that time, however, there was no turning back, and in 2 weeks something was done that, as it seemed to me, met these requirements, well, except for unit tests. To my surprise, almost on the same day as I submitted the task, they called me back and made a job-offer. So I became a java junior. At the moment, the probationary period is behind us, a lot of worries and doubts are behind us, but a year later I can say that I have never regretted the money, time, or effort spent, and I wish the same for you! PS: Yes, and by the way, despite the fact that I myself got a job already at the 20th level, if possible, I do not advise doing this, because the 3 months of the probationary period were one big stress for me. The first step was to learn Git in a couple of weekends; I constantly had to fill gaps in knowledge. In this regard, Javarash continued to take the course until victory. Of course, taking the course completely and then getting a job is a much more sensible idea, but my path was more tortuous.
