I currently work at a small company where we mostly work with Java 8 and Spring (Boot). I learned a lot in the eight weeks of development I did now.

The framework is really awesome in the way how they do things. Something like the Spring Data CrudRepository. I find it fascinating to see how I only define a method in an interface which then just works. Only issue: damnVeryLongMethodNamesWhereAColumnIsLikeVeryAwesomeButIWantToOrderWithThatAndThenDoThisAndThat();

But then just annotate a method. It is fun, and is really fun to explore and learn to work with the framework. I am loving my job and the way my career starts.

My personal goals currently are to get into Java and Spring. Just so I should be able to build a whole project by myself as a developer (with the designs from a designer). If that goal is reached, I want to start working on my knowledge on .NET Core as that is the 'other camp'.

For now: Using IntellJ + Java 8 + Spring = AWESOMENESS.
