Backend to Full Stack — My Hands-On Journey with React & Angular Starts Now! ๐Ÿ’ป✨

๐Ÿ“ข From Today: I’m Starting My React & Angular Full Stack Journey ๐Ÿš€

Hey folks! ๐Ÿ‘‹

I’ve decided to officially start learning React and Angular — from scratch — because I noticed a huge trend across companies expecting developers to be comfortable with full-stack skills, especially involving front-end frameworks like React or Angular. ๐Ÿ”ฅ

Though I come from a solid Java backend background, it's time to upgrade and explore the full stack universe ๐ŸŒ✨

๐Ÿ’ก So here’s the plan:

  • I’ll be learning React and Angular side-by-side
  • I’ll build real apps using both frameworks
  • I’ll document everything step-by-step on this blog

This blog series is for anyone who wants to start from 0, just like me — especially backend developers or Java folks who want to jump into frontend confidently. ๐Ÿ‘จ‍๐Ÿ’ป๐Ÿ‘ฉ‍๐Ÿ’ป

๐Ÿ“† Series Duration: 6 Weeks (From 6th August 2025 to 15th September 2025)

๐Ÿ“š Series Name: "From 0 to Full Stack — React & Angular Hands-On"

I’ll split the series into weekly posts so that it's easy to follow:

๐Ÿ”ข Series Breakdown (Tentative Plan)

  1. Part 1 (6 - 10 Aug): Why React & Angular? Setting up Environment for both
  2. Part 2 (11 - 15 Aug): React Basics – Components, Props, JSX
  3. Part 3 (16 - 20 Aug): Angular Basics – Components, CLI, Templates
  4. Part 4 (21 - 25 Aug): React State, Events, Conditional Rendering
  5. Part 5 (26 - 30 Aug): Angular Services, Dependency Injection
  6. Part 6 (31 Aug - 4 Sept): React Hooks, Forms, Routing
  7. Part 7 (5 - 9 Sept): Angular Routing, Forms, HTTP Client
  8. Part 8 (10 - 15 Sept): Comparison, Deploying Both Projects to GitHub Pages

๐Ÿ› ️ I’ll share all the code, diagrams, and funny mistakes I make too. ๐Ÿ˜„

๐Ÿ‘‰ If you're also learning or curious, follow along! Bookmark this blog and check back weekly.

Let’s learn and build something amazing together ๐Ÿ’ช

๐Ÿ” Is final Really Final in Java? The Truth May Surprise You ๐Ÿ˜ฒ

๐Ÿ’ฌ “When I was exploring what to do and what not to do in Java, one small keyword caught my eye — final . I thought it meant: locked, sealed, frozen — like my fridge when I forget to defrost it.”   But guess what? Java has its own meaning of final… and it’s not always what you expect! ๐Ÿ˜… Let’s break it down together — with code, questions, confusion, jokes, and everything in between. ๐ŸŽฏ The Confusing Case: You Said It's Final... Then It Changed?! ๐Ÿซ  final List<String> names = new ArrayList <>(); names.add( "Anand" ); names.add( "Rahul" ); System.out.println(names); // [Anand, Rahul] ๐Ÿคฏ Hold on... that’s final , right?! So how on earth is it still changing ? Time to dive deeper... ๐Ÿง  Why Is It Designed Like This? Here’s the key secret: In Java, final applies to the reference , not the object it points to . Let’s decode this like a spy mission ๐Ÿ•ต️‍♂️: Imagine This: final List<String> names = new ArrayList <>(); Be...

๐ŸŒŸ My Journey – From Zero to Senior Java Tech Lead ๐ŸŒŸ

 There’s one thing I truly believe… If I can become a Java developer, then anyone in the world can. ๐Ÿ’ฏ Sounds crazy? Let me take you back. ๐Ÿ•“ Back in 2015… I had zero coding knowledge . Not just that — I had no interest in coding either. But life has its own plans. In 2016, I got a chance to move to Bangalore and joined a Java course at a training center. That’s where it all started — Every day, every session made me feel like: "Ohhh! Even I can be a developer!" That course didn’t just teach Java — it gave me confidence . ๐Ÿงช Two Life-Changing Incidents 1️⃣ The Interview That Wasn't Planned Halfway through my course, I had to urgently travel to Chennai to donate blood to a family member. After that emotional rollercoaster, I found myself reflecting on my skills and the future. The next day, as I was preparing for my move to Bangalore to complete the remaining four months of my course, I randomly thought — "Let me test my skills... let me just see...

๐ŸŽข Java Loops: Fun, Fear, and ForEach() Fails

๐ŸŒ€ Oops, I Looped It Again! — The Ultimate Java Loop Guide You Won't Forget “I remember this question from one of my early interviews — I was just 2 years into Java and the interviewer asked, ‘Which loop do you prefer and why?’” At first, I thought, “Duh! for-each is cleaner.” But then he grilled me with cases where it fails. ๐Ÿ˜ต That led me to explore all loop types, their powers, and their pitfalls. Let’s deep-dive into every major Java loop with examples &  real-world guidance so you'll never forget again. ๐Ÿ” Loop Type #1: Classic For Loop — “The Old Reliable” ✅ When to Use: You need an index You want to iterate in reverse You want full control over loop mechanics ✅ Good Example: List<String> names = List.of("A", "B", "C"); for (int i = 0; i < names.size(); i++) { System.out.println(i + ": " + names.get(i)); } ๐Ÿ”ฅ Reverse + Removal Example: List<String> item...
