To any Java developers. I been programming for about 2 years on and off. Im pretty good when given a task. But from your experience. What techniques, or methodologies should a Java programmer know of he wants to really get serious and get a job? Do you guys have portfolio projects?

    Know thy tools.

    1. IDE (IntelliJ, very good, get acquainted)
    2. VCS (Git, most likely)
    3.Dependency management (Maven/Gradle)
    4. OS command line fundamentals
    5. Certification from Oracle (jk lol)

    Also, learn your target platform and all related stuff.

    For example, if you are doing Android, very likely, you'll need to know how HTTP and networking works, file handling, data encoding, etc.

    if you're doing Android development, learn about fragments and how they fit into the application life cycle.

    once you have that, the rest of Android coding is cake.
