Java in the real world
Build real apps with Java: tools, frameworks and where Java is used.
📖 Key ideas
- Build tools Maven and Gradle manage dependencies and builds.
- Spring Boot builds web APIs and enterprise apps.
- Android apps were traditionally written in Java (now often Kotlin).
- JDBC and JPA/Hibernate connect to databases.
- JUnit writes automated tests.
💡 Real-life example: Java is like steel in buildings: not flashy, but banks, governments and big companies build on it.
