I'm on the last year of my programming course, and I know it's not enough and I have to learn a lot more, I wanted to try to collaborate on any open source project on java (but idk how to search it con GitHub, could anyone give me a link or tips to find those projects?)

Anyways, I want to improve, and I wanted to know if there is any "must know". Maybe something like Spring, something I read a lot on the internet.

If you also want to give tips it will be a pleasure to read them!

Thanks in advance.

Spring is very important for most java developers, it's like a must-have in most job offers.

If you haven't you can learn about Design Patterns in java, they are the most important part in code architecture.

For finding open source projects to contribute to, you could check for GitHub repos with issues labelled good-first-issue or up-for-grabs, there are also websites for finding OSS projects

regarding Java knowledge, you might want to make sure you are familiar with most topics under Getting to know the language and Mastering the API there

#

regarding libraries you "must know", it depends.
You should probably know JUnit (that's quite easy) and other libraries/frameworks depending on what you want to do

#

if you want to do Android dev, you'd probably want to learn Android specific APIs and maybe Kotlin

#

For backend dev, learning Spring (Boot) might be a good idea but there are also other frameworks like Jakarta EE, Microprofile or Quarkus
