Today, I took another step forward in my journey as a software craftsman by enrolling in Princeton’s Algorithms I course on Coursera.
To my surprise, the course is taught in Java — a language I haven't yet explored. While I have dabbled in C# before, (please, I'm not trying to start a fight here), Java presents a new challenge for me.
Up until now, my experience has been primarily with Python, PHP, and JavaScript. I was hoping to deepen my expertise in one of these languages, but with Java now in the mix, I’m faced with a decision: which language should I focus on?
After some thought, I’ve decided to embrace both Java and JavaScript for the time being.

As a full-stack developer, mastering JavaScript will allow me to seamlessly switch between backend development with Node.js and frontend development with JavaScript.
And why Java?
Well, the course is structured around it, so it’s essential for me to learn it to fully grasp the concepts being taught.
It’s going to be a challenging journey, but I’m excited to expand my skill set and see where this new path in Java takes me. What has your experience been like with Java?
