Java is a versatile language that can be used to make mobile apps, web apps, software, and so much more.  If you are interested in becoming a software developer, Java is one of the best languages to start with.

So, how can you translate what you have learned in writing Java code, to a real-world environment? How can you show your skills as a budding Java developer in a technical interview, as a contributor in an open source project,  or in a professional environment?

Java developers work in teams using code repositories and an interactive development environment (IDE).  They use these tools to manage their projects, organize multiple files and revise code.
