Software development mainly depends on what development language you want to learn, the current mainstream development language on the market is Java, as far as Java is very promising:
I. Java's market size
More than 80% of high-end enterprise applications use the Java platform (telecom, banking, etc.).JAVA is a mature product that has a 10 year history.Amazon, Google, eBay, Taobao, Jingdong, Ali and other large e-commerce brands are using Java for backend processing. The main reason why so many companies are favoring Java is that Java is scalable and can handle more customer data.
Second, the field of Java domination
Large enterprise applications, mainly using JavaEE, such as large enterprise management systems, the most typical
Large enterprises related to communications and networks: mobile, Unicom, Telecom, Netcom's main information technology are all Java
Large enterprises related to the financial line, all the banks, Securities companies: Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, the Construction Bank and other large-scale management system
E-government: the main use of JavaEE, the relevant government departments the vast majority of information technology systems are Java development
Games
Embedded devices and consumer electronics: wireless handheld devices, communication terminals, medical equipment, information appliances (such as digital TV, set-top boxes, refrigerators), automotive electronic equipment, etc. is more popular Java applications
Three, Java has a bright future
Mike Milinkovich, executive director of the EclipseFoundation, said: "The future of Java must be the Internet of Things, I am very much looking forward to Oracle and partners can give a Java-based end-to-end storage solution, if it can be successful, then the next 20 years, Java's position will not be shaken."
The current era is not only a huge opportunity for the industry, but also a time for Java to grow. Although Java's opposition voice has always been there, but did not stop Java's steps forward, on the contrary it will provide the development of Java's forward direction, we have reason to believe that, even after another 20 years, Java will not be knocked down.
Four, Java's continued improvement
Oracle announced the release of Java9 in September 2016. this update is mainly focused on the components of the Fan language features, the main purpose of the update is to make Java faster and more convenient. With the double assurance of the Java Mission Control Suite and the Java Advanced Management Console, Java enters a new era of use, and also entering this era are cloud computing and the Internet of Things.
As the most commonly used underlying development language for cloud computing, Java's security, openness, stability, and cross-platform are complemented by cloud computing's high reliability and expansion.
Fifth, Java is a very good paving language
For beginners, Java is very friendly, relatively simple learning cycle will not be too long, many people have learned Java, and then learn other languages feel very easy. Because programming ideas, design patterns are not eliminated.
Java's ecosystem dictates that it will be one of the hottest languages in the next 10 or even 20 years. And to take a step back, even if Java is on the verge of obsolescence, you're still touch and go in learning other languages when you're proficient in Java.
