First learn Java fundamentals using mooc fi course. Depending on your pace this should take about 3 months. It's possible to finish it sooner but also later. Depends on you. Solve all the questions on your own. Check solutions in google only if you are really stuck and cant move forward. Learn very basics of SQL. I mean just basics like creating new record in table, reading it, updating and deleting. Nothing fancy. Leave table joins etc for other day if you are in hurry. This should take about 1-2 days. Create some small app on your own from the scratch. Make sure you use there most of your new Java knowledge and SQL. After mooc fi you will use JavaFX for the User interface but it's really important that you dont waste time for UI. JavaFX is useless and you will waste time on it if you will try to do something too complex. You can consider you app being REST client and include something from outside(I dont know some weather information or nice quote. Check free REST api's and choose something for yourself.) Keep this app very simple. You don't want to spend more than 1 month on it and it's very easy to over-estimate time required to write an app especially if it's your first solo app. Prepare you CV and do 1-2 exercises from codility every day. This shouldnt take more than 1 week. After that you can start slowly applying. Spend 1-2 hours every week for applications and do 1-2 codility exercises every week. So basically after 4 months you can start applying. It's too early however but some companies are looking for a junior to train who is keen on learning. If you are lucky they might choose you. So one day a week you will spend on job search and codility. Use the other 5/6 days to learn Spring with Java Brains. Once you will feel confident with Spring do your own Spring app(you will need some very basic HTML but very basic that you can learn in few days). This should take 2-3 months. Now after 7 months increase job applications pace. But keep learning Spring and Java. Never hurry in the study. Make sure you understand topics very well and take your time to understand it. Your lack of understanding of the topic will always sooner or later come out and you will waste more time as a result. However, dont give yourself such deadline. First job is often about luck; finding that one company that sees your potential. For some it happens after 3 months for others after 3 years. But you need to keep consistent if you really want to become software developer. Aim for 8 months but know that it can take much much more. As you will learn you will increase your chances so persistent person will eventually get it but nobody will promise you it will happen after 8 months. If you will starve after 8 months due to uneplmployment consider finding part-time job just to live and study programming the rest of time. More on reddit.com
