Scripting to Application Development

[InfiniteM]

Does anyone have any good tips on learning to create apps in java?

 

I work as a (linux) ops engineer and write lots of scripts in ruby interacting with API's and parsing JSON, but i'm not really sure where to start with learning java or creating apps.

I have been interested in trying to learn how to create apps, I write lengthy scripts in mostly ruby and bash but have no clue how to transfer what i know to app development. 

 

Has any one been in a similar situation or has some tips? Also should i look for intermediate resources or complete beginner? 

 

Any advice would be greatly appreciated

Why Java? And do you mean web-apps, console-apps, desktop-apps, phone-apps or what? And for what OS, if it's not a web-app?

If you already have experience I suggest you to go on SoloLearn and flush thru the Java course to get familiar with it.

Are you sure you're not confusing Java with JavaScript? Because Java-based web apps are basically a dead market now outside corporations that use them for some reason or another.

I'm not too familiar with correct terminology as i'm not a dev, but they do use java for the backend with a javascript front end, i'm not sure what that is categorised as.

Ok they are probably doing java web services in the back end and html + JavaScript front end but you should check with them.

 

As Yurizako mentioned Java web is pretty much dead and it's mostly either ASP.NET/JavaScript or PHP/JavaScript now.

Back end web development in Java means mastering JavaEE(Java enterprise edition) it is the industry standard I believe.

Oh no. Java front end is totally dead. Applet has long being overtaken by JavaScript but severlets are still the industry standard. Java is the backbone of many corporate servers.
