Question

Java

Help advice. Here I am in my third year of college (yes, not a vocational school, but a college), I myself am a smart guy, but I need to build a career somehow. The streak doesn't end in one day. Now we are going through C ++, OOP, TRPO and information protection (read: trying to comprehend the zen of caching). Today, so to speak, there was a couple in OOP, and it’s kind of like an elective, they added it only because the company that conducts the interviews complained that “not a vocational school, but a college” prepares underdeveloped people, which I basically agree with. So why am I. Oh yeah... looking for jobs in my native bruise, I realized that the programmers in bulbalandia who code in C ++ and C # did not give up, give them Java, JS and PHP. And so today I began to quietly read the self-instruction manual on Java Shield. Advise what you need to learn in order to be at least a worthy Junior in Java,

Answer 1

It would be necessary to prepare a template for such answers :) a bunch of questions of the same type.
Russian language, OOP, design patterns - this is the minimum set, in my opinion. The language is not important (it is only a tool, the basics are learned in a month of practice). What follows is what is required for a specific vacancy.

Answer 2

the first thing that needs to be discarded for a sane person is work in muhosransk, now the whole world is open, why, for example, do you not look at vacancies in new york? on kraynyak if you are completely lazy in Moscow?
