From a java beginner to java devs

[u/scared2026]

I am learning java. I made a simple crud operation. I heard from alot of experienced people that I should make projects as I learn something and it help. What project should I work on? Something beginner friendly and that I will learn as I make the project

Please ensure that:

• Your code is properly formatted as code block - see the sidebar (About on mobile) for instructions

• You include any and all error messages in full - best also formatted as code block

• You ask clear questions

• You demonstrate effort in solving your question/problem - plain posting your assignments is forbidden (and such posts will be removed) as is asking for or giving solutions.

If any of the above points is not met, your post can and will be removed without further warning.

Code is to be formatted as code block (old reddit/markdown editor: empty line before the code, each code line indented by 4 spaces, new reddit: https://i.imgur.com/EJ7tqek.png) or linked via an external code hoster, like pastebin.com, github gist, github, bitbucket, gitlab, etc.

Please, do not use triple backticks (```) as they will only render properly on new reddit, not on old reddit.

Code blocks look like this:

public class HelloWorld {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println("Hello World!");
    }
}

You do not need to repost unless your post has been removed by a moderator. Just use the edit function of reddit to make sure your post complies with the above.

If your post has remained in violation of these rules for a prolonged period of time (at least an hour), a moderator may remove it at their discretion. In this case, they will comment with an explanation on why it has been removed, and you will be required to resubmit the entire post following the proper procedures.

To potential helpers

Please, do not help if any of the above points are not met, rather report the post. We are trying to improve the quality of posts here. In helping people who can't be bothered to comply with the above points, you are doing the community a disservice.

The /r/learnprogramming FAQ have plenty Project Ideas and Practice Sites on all levels.

You will learn something with every single program you write. That's how programming works. You will never stop learning.

Nice work getting a CRUD app running, that's a solid base to build on. I'd pick something just one step bigger than what you've done, so you hit new problems without drowning. A personal expense tracker works well: start as a console app that saves to a file, then move it to a real database with JDBC, then add categories and a monthly summary. That walks you through classes, collections, exceptions, file handling and SQL in a natural order. Another option is a small library system where a member can borrow many books, which is great practice for modelling relationships between objects. Whatever you choose, write down three to five features before you start and finish those before adding anything else. Once it works, try rebuilding the same thing as a Spring Boot REST API, because redoing a familiar project in a new way teaches a lot.
