    Thanks for viewing my progression guide as I hopefully progress towards learning the fundamentals of Java.
    My personal goal is to understand the growing language of Java and eventually offer services once I can officially call myself a certified java developer.
    I do not have intentions into just rushing in and hopping around. I am currently enrolled into college getting a Computer Science degree in QA Testing.
    Also on the side I am studying w/ Teamtreehouse & Udemy courses.
    Below you will see the knowledge I understand of Java, enjoy.

    Learning Java

    • Arithmetic Operators Include: +, -, *, /, and %

    Not too sure about that, it's at 0 . It would have to go minus to even be remotely close to his IQ.

    Thanks man! That's what I'm doing at the moment. I know quite a bit of Java but I want to start from the ground up and learn everything along the way.

    I wish you the best of luck

    Being a certified Java developer takes quite some dedication. What you are learning would prepare you for the SE 1 certification, which, on top of what you listed, also requires experience with OOP (inheritance, encapsulation), object lifecycles (and how GC works), popular APIs like the Collections and Date APIs, as well as exception handling. Click the link and scroll down to Review Exam Topics.

    Taking it a step further, there's the SE 2 certification, which extends upon topics of SE 1, as well as requires experience with subjects such as IO, databases, assertions and localization.

    There's others, like the master level certification, which covers EE, profiling and more. You check check them out here.

    Keep in mind, CS and SE are two different subjects, which although overlap in areas, can send you in two totally different directions. I recommend checking out this article. CS is an amazing subject, but many major in it without realizing it's not concerned with developing software. Make sure it's the right subject for you, you may be more interested in Software Engineering!
