Hello newcomers! What’s new in the world of development? There are about 10 million Java developers in the world, and new specialists are constantly required. This is due to the popularity of the programming language. Its demand will not decrease for a long time. More than 3 billion devices run on software written in Java, including mobile devices on the Android operating system. Java programmers are in demand and are well paid. This language is suitable for those who have a technical education and want to work in the corporate sector remotely or in the office. Imagine that you successfully passed the interview and found the job of your dreams. Then the question may arise in your head “What will be my first working day?” This is what I wrote in an article entitled ‘JavaScript Developer: What To Do On The First Day’. In addition to answering this question, you will read about the peculiarities of the profession and some tips. Read on and discover!
JavaScript developers create complex applications using the programming language of the same name. Examples of such applications contain, for example, drop-down menus, images that change on mouse hover. Java is widely used on e-commerce sites to collect information about users. The work of Java programmers is also to modify the existing design and functionality of the site by editing and finalizing the program code, testing the correct operation of the application.The scope of Java is greatly wide, which allows developers in this language to be in request in numerous areas. Another responsibility of a programmer is the development of instructions for working with applications or modules, as well as the preparation of the necessary technical documentation.
Well, let’s move on to your first day at a development company. Maybe you imagine coming to work, bringing your coffee mug (at least half a liter in size) in advance, brewing coffee and calmly starting to perform your duties. But such a plan of action is not entirely true. A programmer’s working day is divided into two stages: before launch and during project launch. Before launch – this is working in a regular mode at the office. Then dinner and another couple of hours I will “sit” from my home computer, because it was on the way home that a brilliant idea was born. The idea came up during dinner and now requires urgent implementation. The main thing here is to stop in time, because before you have time to blink an eye, it will be after midnight. The most disgusting thing is when you are trying to solve a difficult problem, but so far it has not been given. The task starts constantly spinning in my head: while eating, on the way to work, and even in my sleep. You need to relax, switch to something else, otherwise it will drive you crazy. Sports and yoga help a lot in such cases. As a rule, after rest and “distraction” the solution is found faster. In such a schedule there is always a “code hour”. Creative time, when all external communication channels are turned off and all my attention I turn only to programming.
A couple of “hacks” for efficient work:
- If you write down all tasks at once for an approximate date, the probability of forgetting is minimized, especially when there are a large number of projects and clients (these records must be transferred to the ‘to do list’).
- To make all the letters related to the task visible, it is convenient to use tags, for example ‘in progress’.
- Turn off the sound of mail notifications on your phone, so the flow of letters will not distract from your work with Java.
If we are talking about the actions that every beginner must perform in order to get respect from the whole team over time, then they are as follows. Try to make a positive impression on others. Politeness, courtesy, willingness to allegedly come to the rescue and sympathize. Feel the needs and concerns of the team. It is not worth rushing into battle, hoofing, demonstrating knowledge and enthusiasm. Try to “get into the rhythm” of the office atmosphere. Look, listen, be quiet and this will dull the vigilance of the team. At first, try to work as slowly and as little as possible, in case what is exactly required of you. You can justify yourself by saying that you need time to familiarize yourself. Then try not to work at all, but only to imitate the activity. But at first, you shouldn’t deal with personal matters. First, create a sense of your usefulness and hardness to replace. Coding and writing a project is also an important matter, but the main thing is the relationship between people in a team.
