As the current requirements for all software developers are broad, IT specialists usually perform many various tasks. Even if we ignore soft skills as a necessary element of appropriate cooperation, java coder has to understand the destination of the final product. It means that such a technical specialist has to know not only a programming language but also various methods of its practical implementation and reciprocity via additional tools. As a result, usual tasks can look like:
Among the most widespread technological requirements for java coders is knowledge of the following (or some of them at least):
It is not a full list, nothing to say about integrated aspects (like DI, Boot, or MVC in Spring framework) in the mentioned technics. However, it is enough to understand that java specialist can accomplish diverse tasks, starting with setting a basic data exchange and ending with testing of the web product usability. As the combinations of needed attributes can significantly differ, there can be many types of engineers in this area.
Even though Java can be used outside networks, advanced engineers should know approaches for the internet-used applications. Thus, attainment in HTML, CSS, and PHP is a basis for web developers and will upgrade the level and opportunities of every programmer.
Among other aspects, understanding of databases like SQL, MySQL, or ORM is a must due to its vast usage during the creation of a valid code. If one needs a transformation of already functioning products, experience in other programming languages like C/C++, C#, or Python will be a big plus as allow faster understanding and integrating of the existing structure into the new platform.
Top-10 coding languages have a quite different wage rate, which varies from $89 to $127 thousand per year, or about 40%. What is interesting, Java engineers earn $102,000, which is almost a median rate of $98 thousand according to the statistics from Indeed.com. Even more important is the demand for those specialists, which is the highest on the market. Of course, numbers are approximate and can significantly vary from country to country, but the overall trend is confirmed with the chart above.
The focus on particular states gives much wider differences in average salaries of Java developers, where a Switzs coder earns five times more than the Chinese one. Such a claim is not fully true as the level of every programmer is unknown, but the gap exists, and it is huge.
A quite perspective destination in East Europe from the average salary perspective is definitely Ukraine. Java specialists in this country require twice lower salaries compared to developed European states, nothing to say about the gap compared to world leaders in this sphere. It means that startup from any progressive city like Amsterdam or Boston can save a considerable amount of costs if ready for remote cooperation.
Moreover, developers from this state are versatile and reliable workers with appropriate mentality compared to unstable Asians. The almost absent time gap for European startups and widespread English make the situation even better as Ukrainians are flexible in terms of cooperation and creating a dedicated environment even remotely. Actually, one can additionally read how staff augmentation twice reduces the hiring time and overall costs of the project, and why Ukraine is a perfect direction to look at in IT.
Despite the fact that the IT sector is digital in its nature, it is almost impossible to count the number of java engineers, for instance. The first obstacle is the versatility of programmers who know and use different languages and approaches but can be employed in the narrow area. It means that a company may have on contract a developer with a wide range of abilities, while only a few numbers to the statistics score.
The second obstacle is the inability to analyse collected data appropriately. Thus, one of the most popular methods to count the salary or demand of a particular specialist is to collect data of CVs or offers from a job searching website. However, this approach will also distort the real results due to the inability to check the practical level of engineer or number of specialists that a firm seeks.
Nevertheless, SlashData analysis of the market with defining active programmers gave the results as of below:
Thus, at the end of 2018, there were about 7,6 million employed java professionals, which is the third result among programming languages overall.
However, there should be no worries for those who started Java learning or planned to build their startup on it. According to data from Oracle, this language is used by:
Adding to that information understanding that JavaScripts and many other coding approaches also rely on Java, this programming language will save popularity and massive demand for many years.
