Video weekend #44. We learn the secrets of refactoring, hear about promising Java technologies, learn the basics of Git and watch an interview with a former 1C developer who switched to Java

Life after 1C. Which is better: Java or Python

Developers who specialize in 1C are in high demand on the job market. In particular, in Russia and the CIS countries. However, after some time, many of them change their qualifications, switching to more common technologies and languages. This can be explained simply: the development of products for the 1C platform is not in demand among foreign customers and employers. Therefore, such developers are limited in finding high-paying jobs. Andrey, the author of the YouTube channel Let's Code, is one of these “emigrants”. After 4 years of working with 1C, he decided to switch to Java, while simultaneously studying Python. In the interview, Andrey examines the advantages and disadvantages of all three technologies, and also shares useful tips on working in Java.

How Refactoring Begins – Online Java Meetup

The recent Online Java Meetup was devoted to two topics: refactoring and working with Git. Java developers Yaroslav Dmitriev and Artem Sinitsyn presented their reports at the meetup. By listening to the first talk, “How Refactoring Begins,” you can deepen your knowledge of how to perform refactoring. You will also learn about the prerequisites for problems in the code, which problems should be solved first, and how to properly communicate with the customer about refactoring. The second talk, "From Hashes and Branches - How Git Works," provides useful information about recovering lost commits, the role of change history, and other issues with Git.
