Hello, World! ๐
My name is Anastasia and I'm a Junior Java developer based in Saint-Petersburg, Russia.
I'm so excited to launch this Telegram channel! Think of it as a cozy corner of the internet where I'll be sharing my coding journey, the ups and downs, and everything I'm learning along the way โบ๏ธ
A bit about where I'm at right now:
I'm currently finishing my tech degree at NUST MISIS (ranked 11th among Russia's best universities by Forbes) and developing a gamification backend module for Russian LMS platforms along with my graduation paper.
Why start a channel?
Because tech is better when we learn together! Here's what you can expect:
โ Java tips & tricks
โ Learning & certification resources
โ Honest conversations about career struggles (imposter syndrome, anyone?
Connect with me elsewhere too:

Free Java courses (with certificates!) from the creators of IntelliJ IDEA ๐คฏ
ะกonfession time: I've been using IntelliJ IDEA for ages, but somehow I totally slept on Hyperskill โ the learning platform from JetBrains.
You know, the same folks who made our beloved IDE? Yeah, them.
And guess what? They have 82 (!!) completely free courses โ not just on Java, but also Python, Kotlin, Web Dev, DevOps, AI tools, SQLโฆ you name it.
Here's why I'm low-key obsessed:
๐ง Real coding exercises โ not just theory, you actually write code
๐ฎ Gamification and progress visualization โ you get 7 "lives" per day (aka 7 mistakes), which honestly? Keeps me from rage-quitting
๐ Project-based tracks โ build things that look like real-world apps
For my fellow Java travelers, here's what Hyperskill offers FOR FREE:
โ Introduction to Java โ basics, data structures, OOP, debugging
โ Java Developer โ syntax, functional programming, collections, multithreading, design patterns
โ Introduction to Spring Boot with Java โ dependency injection, autoconfiguration, building web apps
โ Java Backend Developer (Spring Boot) โ next-level Spring Boot and testing
โ Java Desktop Application Developer โ yes, Swing is still a thing!
โ Java Full Stack Developer โ backend (Java) + frontend (JavaScript)
โ Spring Security for Java Backend Developers โ auth, authorization, roles (not for absolute beginners)
โ Advanced Java โ design patterns, performance tuning, Java 17 deep dives
โ Algorithmic Thinking for Java Developers โ because sometimes LeetCode hurts less with a plan
My take: If you're learning Java and want structured, hands-on practice without burning a hole in your pocket โ this is gold. Also, certificates!
Have you tried Hyperskill yet? What's your go-to free learning resource? Drop it in comments โ let's share the wealth ๐ฌ
