> Roadmap to becoming a [Java](https://g.co/kgs/bzeRda) developer in 2026:
Below you can find a chart demonstrating the paths that you can take and the libraries that you would want to learn to
become a Java developer. I made this chart as a tip for everyone who asks me, "What should I learn next as a Java
developer?"

## Disclaimer
> The purpose of this roadmap is to give you an idea about the landscape. The road map will guide you if you are
> confused about what to learn next, rather than encouraging you to pick what is hip and trendy. You should grow some
> understanding of why one tool would be better suited for some cases than the other and remember hip and trendy does
> not
> always mean best suited for the job
