Stepping into the world of full stack development felt like standing at the edge of a vast ocean—exciting, overwhelming, and full of unknowns 🌊. As someone who always had an interest in technology 💻, I knew I wanted to do more than just scratch the surface. But like many beginners, I had one big question:

Where do I start?

The Beginning of My Journey 🚀

My full stack journey officially began when I joined an internship program focused on Java Full Stack Development. Until then, I had only basic knowledge of programming 🧠.

But this internship opened the door to an entire ecosystem of technologies:

  • Core Java ☕
  • JDBC & JPA 🔌
  • Hibernate 🛠
  • Spring Boot 🌱
  • HTML & CSS 🎨
  • Angular ⚙️

At first, it was a bit overwhelming 😅. Each technology felt like a mountain to climb. But instead of trying to master everything at once, I took it one step at a time 🧗.

What I Learned Along the Way 📚

Here are a few key lessons I picked up during my journey so far:

1. Start with the Basics

I began by solidifying my understanding of Core Java. Once I felt confident with object-oriented programming, it was easier to move forward ✅.

2. Practice Beats Perfection

Watching tutorials helped, but building small projects taught me the most 🧪. Even a simple CRUD app using Spring Boot and MySQL was a huge step forward.

3. Frontend Matters

Learning Angular gave me a whole new appreciation for user interfaces. Seeing my backend logic come alive in a real UI was so satisfying ✨.

4. Debugging Is Learning

Errors used to frustrate me. Now, I see them as learning opportunities 🕵️‍♂️. Every bug I fix sharpens my understanding.

5. Consistency Is Key

Growth didn’t happen overnight. But showing up every single day, even for an hour, helped me build momentum ⏳.

Why I Started This Blog ✍️

I’m starting this blog to document my growth—not just technically, but personally too.

If you’re a beginner like me, I want you to know:

You’re not alone, and you’re definitely capable ❤️.

Whether you’re just beginning or considering a future in full stack development, remember this:

Every expert was once a beginner.

And this blog marks just my first step in a much bigger journey.
