The demand for Java programmers is high in today’s market due to various reasons. Firstly, Java is a widely used programming language for various purposes such as desktop applications, mobile applications, web development, peer-to-peer applications, IoT devices, and game development. Secondly, the fact that Java has been the most popular programming language for years has led to many applications being developed in Java, which requires a large number of developers.

Employers require a large number of Java developers due to its widespread usage and high demand, which is not comparable to other programming languages such as Cobol, where the demand is not as high. Java is preferred by many companies and developers as it is a reliable and stable programming language. Though it has dropped to fourth place in the TIOBE index, its popularity is steadily increasing.

In Hungary, there are around 79,000 software developers, and 23,700 of them are estimated to be Java programmers.
