Transitioning from IT Support to Java/Spring Boot — What should I focus on next?
I worked in IT Support for almost 2 years and recently shifted my focus to backend development.
I’m currently learning Java 8, SQL, Spring Boot, and building basic APIs to understand the request → controller → service → repository flow.
For someone moving into backend roles, what should I prioritize next?
Spring ecosystem (Spring Data JPA, Security)?
Or Docker, deployments, full-stack basics, etc.?
Looking for guidance from anyone who made a similar transition.
