Today, there are nearly 8 million Java programmers worldwide and the number is only expected to rise. The conference addressed this exponentially growing demand of Java Technology worldwide and aimed to connect the existing and aspiring Java professionals with the worldwide Java community and employers to help them build a career in the vast field of Java.
Shameem Ahsan, Managing Director, eGeneration said, “A country like Bangladesh with a median age of just under 30 and a high adoption of technology among our youth will never likely see a shortage of talents in the field of IT. With the encouragement from the government, proper training, and support from our community, we can nurture these talents to build winning teams and become champions in the global stage by harnessing the power of Java and transforming Bangladesh into an innovation led high-tech nation.”
Tapan Kanti Sarkar, Founder & President, CTO Forum Bangladesh said, “Java is among the most popular programming language primarily because of its versatility, compatibility, and robust functionality. Knowing Java opens a great number of doors for the developers. This is a technology widely used by tech giants including AirBnb, Uber, Netflix and many more. Evidently, Java is likely to remain as the leading technology in the years to come.”
A N M Bazlur Rahman, Founder, Java User Group Bangladesh (JUGBD) said, “Sometimes developers focus just on knowledge. Having knowledge is important, but having skill is also as important. If an individual wants to pursue a career in Java, they need to possess deep knowledge and skills.
