In the late ’90s, a C++ programming student named Walter Jia hopped on the Java bandwagon and never looked back. In the years since, his career has grown in lock step with the growth and maturity of the Java platform, thanks in part to the training he pursued.
Jia recounts his entire professional journey in the article From Co-Op Student to Solution Architect: How Training Shaped My Career. He also dispenses some advice to other developers based on his experiences going from that student to the Java solution architect he is today.
