Need help learning Java further?

Question

Java

I just finished reading the basics of Java, I read two books by Schildt (The Complete Guide) and Horstman, before that I wrote in C, so that's the problem, I want to do something in Java, but console applications no longer roll in, it's exactly the same in C did it, I want to work with graphics, but there is bad luck here Swing and Java FX, but it is not clear whether this direction is even developing, but I want to start and find a job in the future (by the way, there is no specialized education), tell me where to move on? Android is also interesting, but is it necessary for real work? Where to begin?

Answer 1

The desktop toad is dead, go to android - it will live for a long time

Answer 2

but console applications no longer roll in

Apache Kafka, Jetty, Neo4j are all "console applications". Are you interested in developing something like this?
