I started off my programming learning Java - I don’t enjoy it or find it that easy to deal with. I then had a year off due to sickness and then completed a course where we used python and JavaScript. I prefer these 2 to Java.
Before I started the Python and JavaScript course, I did a health tracker project in Java. I am wondering if I should continue to do it in Java or just re-start it in Python (python because of data analytics).
I did not make much headway with the project in Java so its not a lot that I have to re-do. A couple of reasons I thought I should change is because:
- I don’t necessarily want to find a job where use Java (bit I will if I have to)
- I learnt TDD when I did the course in Python and JavaScript but not Java but I want to implement it in this project but I am really struggling with TDD in Java and Spring Boot (even with tutorials)
- I would rather practice a language I hope to use in a job and feel comfortable with
- I can explain why I started this in Python better rather than Java (reason being it was the first language I learnt and started it at that point)
However my main aim with this project is for it to help me practice and show an employer my skills - So what do people think I should do?
