Companies are transitioning to the cloud at a breakneck to accommodate the scale of their applications. To keep pace, developers consistently turn Java as their language of choice, and the Azure platform for the build-to-deploy process. Azure not only supplies developers with their favorite environments but allows them to integrate with other apps in the Microsoft partner ecosystem. Learning about Java development on Microsoft Azure can be a great way for developers to hone their skills and create robust, versatile applications. That’s exactly what our new Java Skills Navigator is for.
Azure has a comprehensive set of tools for developing applications using Java. These tools can be used for creating cloud-based, digital-native applications, as well as for developing applications for multiple platforms. With the Java Skills Navigator, we’ve made it easy for you to identify Java-specific competencies in addition to other skills that are important for developing applications.
New to Java development? Then you’ll benefit from our tutorials that provide step-by-step instructions on how to create applications and cover topics such as setting up the development environment, creating a deployment package, and debugging applications. Our Java Skills Navigator guide can help you quickly find the right skills needed for your current or future development projects. It includes detailed descriptions of all the core Java concepts, from basic language features to more advanced topics such as distributed computing and enterprise architecture. It also provides step-by-step tutorials and guidance on best practices.
Develop your skills at any ability level
Programmers often choose to create Java applications on Azure for various reasons, such as the option to develop, troubleshoot, and deploy Java programs using their most preferred development platforms, rapidly incorporating features and functions and incorporating them with other applications and services in the Microsoft ecosystem. Moreover, they gain the benefit of not needing to manage infrastructure during the development process.
No matter which stage of the learning journey you find yourself (programming language, app framework, or the cloud), our Java Skills Navigator guide is divided into three phases to meet you where you are:
- Ramp up: Discover core skills and language fundamentals.
- App development: Learn how to build cloud-native apps with various cloud architectures, frameworks for web, mobile apps, and relevant Azure services.
- In production: Explore services for monitoring, logging, instrumentation, and authorization.
Our guide features an array of readings, videos, and self-paced learning paths that will aid you in finding the right service, constructing, deploying, keeping track of, and boosting the capacities of Java applications on Azure.
