10 Top Java Blogs to Improve Your Coding Skills

There is a excellent chance that, as you go about your everyday life, you have used Java. And most likely, you have used it in multiple ways. If you have an Android smartphone, play Minecraft or many other games, used e-commerce in some fashion, or browsed any number of web sites, you have probably encountered Java.

Java is a general-purpose programming language, designed to have few implementation dependencies so developers can create WORA (Write Once and Run Anywhere) applications. It was originally created for interactive television, but that plan was dropped because the language was too advanced for television systems at that time.

Now, the platforms have caught up to the language. And it has fallen to the developers – whether paid professionals or students looking to break into the industry – to keep up with the technology.

So, how has Java managed to maintain its place as one of the premiere programming languages? For starters, it has lived up to the five primary goals it was created to be:

  1. Simple, object-oriented, and familiar.
  2. Robust and secure
  3. Architecture-neutral and portable.
  4. High performance.
  5. Interpreted, threaded, and dynamic.

Invented by James Gosling under Sun Microsystems in 1995. Java is now owned by Oracle Corporation. But while it is owned and licensed by a large corporation, it is the community of coders and enthusiasts that have really brought it to life. And one common method that community keeps in touch with each other, and with the creators and developers of Java, is through blogs.

With these blogs, you, as a developer, can keep up on the latest trends, be aware of updates and new features, and perhaps find some tips for overcoming your latest challenge. All of this allows you to better create the applications and programs your customers want. And a happy customer means a regular paycheck.

But with the thousands of blogs out there (“Java blog” as a Google search term returns over 43 million results), finding the best can be as much a chore as building a program. So, here is our list of the top 10 Java blogs.
