about code memorization.

[Mohammad Ashrafuddin Ferdousi]

Hello everyone,
I have a little problem. I think, i understand java core programming and jee coding also. But the problem is that, i can not remember the codes and methods also. I know, it can be improved by doing more code. But as i don't work professionally with java, jee so, it's a little bit tough for me to do so much code.

My question is, Can i say that i am a java expert(coz i understand the codes clearly.)?

Please let me know your opinion.

Thanks

Understanding code does not make you a java expert. Years and years of developing experience eventually does.

If you don't work professionally I would suggest you to join or start an open source project so you can gain more experience.

Thanks for your response, sir. I am going to start a project recently on java. So, what will be the best option to be an expert? Core jee coding or use some frameworks?

[Sebastian Janisch]

Gaining experience. You can read 55 books about various frameworks but that does not make you an expert.

When you actually develop software you will in the process come along many issues that need to be solved and that process is what eventually makes you become more and more experienced.

I'd also caution that focusing entirely on Java might make you a Java "expert", but at least personally, that's not what I look for in a developer. In fact, I think focusing only on Java is likely to make you a *poor* developer, because you're exposed to a limited number of programming paradigms.

Sir,
Thanks for your kind response. I have a question. Can you please answer? Is it important to remember the method name, class name or package name when i do coding? Is it the must? or it is enough that, when i start coding, i know that what to do, how to use documentation, how to search the information on web and how to implement these resources.

Please answer the question.

Then what should make me a better developer on java or web development technology? can you please explain? I will be very much oblige to you.

Thanks

I'm not sure what else I can say--as I said, I think focusing solely on Java technologies makes for a very narrow-minded developer. If you already know Java, why focus more on it? Broaden your horizons. Learning another language will make you a better Java developer--and there are plenty of JVM languages to choose from if you want to stay in the Java ecosystem.

Sir,
Thanks for your response again. I want to share something with you, if you do not mind. I was a php developer previously. I am a fan of java. Now, what i found on real life projects is that, the developer always can faces some new problem when he/she/they going to develop or start a new project. That problem sometimes depends on tools also. If i have a lot of experience on java, i can solve it easily. So, i think, we can focus on the tools, problem solving skills etc.

Anyway, It's just for sharing my opinion, please do not mind for it. I am completely agree with you.

So, what you think about other languages? what languages(on priority base and of course, related with jvm) are the most demandable and most expensive development tools on international market. Can you please share?

You're missing my point. It's not just about making yourself "marketable". It's about making yourself a better developer (which is, coincidentally, marketable). What JVM languages are there? While a trivial web search will return you an extensive list, in no particular order the most popular are Groovy, JRuby, Scala, and Clojure. Each has benefits and drawbacks. Each will expose you to different ways of doing things (if you program them idiomatically, you could make any of them just as limited as Java without much effort).
