Have you ever stopped to think: after x years of Java development, why are your skills so much worse than others?

In fact, the level of technical level and personal intelligence quotient is not related (after all, we can do Java programming development is not bad), mainly with the degree of diligence, improve methods.

Diligence, needless to say, depends on self-supervision and self-control. Here we will talk in detail about the method of promotion, after all, a good method of promotion can make you get twice the result with half the effort. What are some of the most effective ways to become a Java senior engineer?

Here are three things you should pay attention to:

Understand the basic technology

Develop a good habit of reading source code

Have long – term technical learning plan

Now, let’s take a look at each one, especially method 3.

1. Understand the basics

Basic technology is the common foundation of all kinds of upper technology. Understanding the underlying technologies is a way to better understand how applications work and evolve better products based on those underlying technologies. Many distributed system architectures, as well as high availability, high performance, and high concurrency solutions, can be found in basic technologies. Therefore, the study of basic technology can better master the technology of higher dimensions.

Many people will think that the underlying technologies are profound, from languages, programming paradigms, algorithms and data structures, computer principles, networks, databases, distributed technologies, and so on, how can they have the time to master so many things? This really needs the perseverance of continuous learning. Now many technical masters are still consolidating and expanding their underlying technology, so there is no reason for them to ignore this piece, isn’t it?

2. Develop a good habit of reading source code

Read the source code, especially for any third-party libraries you are using. Do not interview, what source code have not learned, the reason is that business is too busy, more even say “I feel useless”.

Reading the source code should answer two questions: what problem is to be solved + how is it implemented? When looking at a whole project or a module or function, we should always look at these two problems. After reading these two questions can answer, is effective.

Here’s what you should do when reading the source code:

Background check: read the official website and Wikipedia to learn about the main features, which projects they are used for and how they are used

Use frameworks: at least make a small demo with follow “Get Started”.

Compile and debug where possible. There is almost no code that can be debugged that is unreadable

Learn some design patterns. So when you see proxy, Builder, factory in the name, you get it

Horizontal layer, longitudinal block. The code is modular, some of it is Core, some of it is Util, Parser, stuff like that, so you know what layer you’re looking at, what piece you’re looking at. Some small projects are not clearly layered and do not have to be forced

Note: it is not only the grammatical skills that should be looked at, but also the ideas and principles of design. Easy to know, easy to do, put a good habit of reading source code on the agenda!

Have long-term technical learning plan

The path to Java advancement is guided by a long-term learning plan. You can develop a systematic learning path that will help you improve your overall skills. Of course, almost every Java programmer has a dream of becoming an architect.
