Have you ever dreamt of becoming a successful web developer? Everyone does, I totally have! Being a web developer means you get to create awesome stuff on the internet that people will use and get amazed how the web fulfills their day to day life, helps alleviate people's life. It's like being a doctor providing treatment, cure the patient's illness, but with computers and coding! For me, becoming a web developer is as cool as being a doctor. 

To make my life more fulfilling, I don't want to limit myself by just working for some Tech company. Nope! I have big dreams of starting my own Tech-giant company someday, specializing in Web user experience, meaning creating a better web experience for users. I want to be my own boss and create amazing products that people will love. But hey, I also know it's important to be happy along the way. So, I don't want to sacrifice my happiness in the moment just for some unknown future. It's all about finding that balance, right.

Right now, I'm still figuring out how to create that masterpiece web experience. It's like trying to sail uncharted seas, a wide range of potential that I still have not yet figured it out. But you know what? I'm not worried!  But how do I go about finding my creative potential, finding that innovation in web design that people will like? Let's break it down into steps:

Expose to many variety of contemporary web design

I'm starting by exploring lots of different web designs that are already out there. I'm checking out all the cool websites and templates on the internet. It's like going on an adventure and discovering new things every day.

Doing as many design

My lab is basically just my laptop. I have been experimenting with my hand, trying to create different web templates. It's so much fun! I get to experiment and play around with different styles and layouts. It's like being an outdoor painter in some wonderland. I enjoy every moment experiencing different possibilities of color and shapes, mixing different ingredients to create a beautiful Painting. Only instead of painting, I'm making amazing web designs.

Making mistakes is okay

One thing I've learned on the journey of finding my own design, is that it is totally okay to copy other people's ideas. In fact, it's a good thing! Every time I am trying to make my own idea out of nothing, I end up trashing it, and making another from the start. I keep repeating mistakes, making so many things that I will not continue because it feels like it is not worth it. But it is okay, I learn something new. It's like a superpower that helps me grow and become better at what I do. So, I embrace the challenges and keep moving forward.

My process is still very long. I created a few solutions to web user experience flaws that I found while I am doing my day job, but I forget where I put my past projects that kind of solve some problem. Probably I have to forget it and start from zero, with a better structure.

You can make a living out of it

What's the real prospect about web development is that It's always changing and evolving. There's always something new, new looks, new features, new design, etc. It is because businesses and individuals want to have something different every single time to attract potential customers.  That's why I am really optimistic about this industry, it is a tech sector that in my opinion will never be replaced by AI. My hope for the future is that I want people to love my creation, love it so much that they'll want to buy it from me. I want to make some serious money doing what I love!

Strong motivation and optimistic

I always feel like I'm doing treasure hunting, looking for that valuable gold and gems. I'm looking for that "aha" moment when everything clicks and I come up with my own unique design. I want to create a web design, a type of user experience that people will go crazy for, like selling candies for kids.

Finding my own design is  one of my ways to just pass by in life, and it would make me really, really happy if I finally figure it out. I know that the journey is just as important as the destination. Every step I take, every design I create, brings me closer to my dream. I'm constantly staying up to date with the latest trends and technologies. I want to be at the forefront of this exciting world and make a difference.

Find any Inspiration

As I embark on my journey as a web developer, I immerse myself in the captivating world of web design. I spend hours exploring diverse websites, templates, and design trends, eagerly taking note of the elements that catch my eye and those that don't quite resonate with me. With every click and scroll, I am building a solid foundation of knowledge and drawing inspiration from the incredible work of talented designers across the internet.

I actively engage with various online platforms, delving into the depths of web design communities, forums, and social media groups. I eagerly participate in discussions, seeking insights from experienced designers and gaining valuable perspectives on the latest design trends. The diverse range of ideas and styles presented by fellow enthusiasts broadens my understanding of the ever-evolving world of web design, igniting my creative spark.

Learn the Fundamentals

With a solid grasp of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, and the added expertise of frameworks and libraries, I am equipped with the necessary tools to bring my creative visions to life. I can now confidently experiment with intricate layouts, dynamic animations, and advanced functionalities. This knowledge empowers me to push the boundaries of web design and create immersive digital experiences that captivate and engage users.

Think Outside the Box

Innovation requires a willingness to challenge the norm, to step outside comfort zones, and to embrace the unconventional. By thinking outside the box and seeking inspiration beyond the realm of web design, I am empowered to create exceptional web experiences that captivate users and leave a lasting impression. With each project, I am driven by the desire to push the boundaries of what is possible, always striving to create designs that are not only visually striking but also evoke genuine emotions and forge meaningful connections with the audience.

Stay Passionate and Persistent

I remind myself that my journey is not a sprint but a marathon. Success in web development is not measured solely by the destination but also by the personal growth and experiences gained along the way. Each moment of perseverance contributes to my development as an innovative web developer.

I know that the road ahead might be tough, but I'm not afraid. I'm determined to chase my dreams and make them a reality. Web development is like a big adventure, and I'm ready to face whatever comes my way. Whether it's starting my own business or working with a team, I want to leave my mark on the internet industry.

So, my fellow dreamers, let's embark on this exciting journey together! No dream is too big, and no age is too young to start pursuing your passion. Let's create amazing web designs, have fun, and make the internet a better place. The future is ours to take part in solving the world’s problem, continue making innovations.

I am an experiences web developer, have a good problem-solving and deep understanding of software development principles. With comprehensive skill set in Java, PHP, Python, C and JavaScript.

Spring Kafka - how to use ReplyingKafkaTemplate send and reply synchronously

Microservice Spring with Apache Kafka Kafka is an asynchronous messaging queuing system, but when you have a case in your project that you need to have the result immediately from another service you can do that quite easily. Kafka from the client side produces a message to the server side, then waiting for the server to return back the message exactly what the client wants. It’s identified in the kafka header request named KafkaHeaders.CORRELATION_ID and a topic where the server should send. If the server side produces the same correlation id to the same topic in the request, then the client side will catch that message as its reply. Although you can work with kafka from a different framework and language other than Java and Spring. Here’s in this example i just specifically giving the example of sending and replying kafka messages using Spring Boot. The Project Overview The client-project will send a string message to the server-project over kafka, then the server-project wil

Reactive Spring Logo This is maybe a very simple task, but for those of you that may not be familiar with WebFlux found it difficult to create a Rest API that handles upload and download in Reactive spring application. Create the skeleton Spring project Create a new project, go to start.spring.io , on the dependencies section, add Spring Reactive Web. Generate and extract it into your desired project location. Instead of using spring-boot-starter-web, use spring-boot-starter-webflux instead in your pom.xml. Here’s the pom.xml for our Reactive Rest API project. Create our Rest controller Now that you have set to use WebFlux instead of the usual web, we have to change a little bit in the Controller class that handles the API endpoints. It doesn’t change much but you have to wrap the Response in Mono and the request parameter to FilePart. So our upload and download file controller will look like this. Create utility to handle file upload We need to structure our project better, so we cr
