How to start the actual practice of JAVA project? (Updated on 2021.02.03)

Many students asked me why I am currently learning Python and have no Java foundation. Is it necessary to learn Java knowledge? I think if you want to work in a bank, you must learn about Java. After all, the mainstream programming environment in banks still uses Java.

I have done some practical Java projects before, mainly Java concurrency processing, relational database applications, etc. You can choose the appropriate practical project according to your own needs.

Generally, if you follow some tutorials or videos and implement it once, the level of mastery will be almost the same.

What? Are programming questions already appearing in bank written exams? (2021.09.09)

In the past, only some banks had it, but now there is a trend in bank written examinations: in the past, during offline written examinations, most of the bank written examinations were conducted at the head office, branches, R&D centers, etc., and the papers may be combined according to each person's delivery position. Now, There is no need to rent a venue when switching to an online written test, and it does not cost much to take a separate written test for each department. Anyway, it is not you who is tired of the written test, so the software research and development department can directly build a separate written test system for job seekers to answer the questions, which greatly improves the efficiency. Question autonomy. Take the first batch of written tests just conducted by the Agricultural Bank of China Soft Development Center for 2022 graduates this year. This year, it is 50+ questions on basic knowledge of database, data structure, computer network, java/c++ grammar, and 10+ questions on EPI test, plus 3 questions Programming, programming questions are still a bit difficult. Therefore, it is recommended that everyone should strengthen their computer knowledge when preparing for the future.
