Pretty much anything as long as you run it on a platform that supports the JVM. You won't be able to create iOS apps as iOS does not come with Java installed (Objective-C/Swift are examples of languages you'll need for iOS/macOS/etc development).

Javascript is a completely separate language that has nothing to do with Java. It's primarily used to provide interactivity in web pages but can run anywhere you have a Javascript interpreter.

I see, what are the common things people use java to code for? I am seeing if I am better of learning C++ instead of java, Are there any jobs that require anybody who are at most a amature at java?

You probably won't have much luck landing a corporate job as a Java developer (or any sort of software developer for that matter) without at least a bachelors degree in computer science. You can do freelance work or your own stuff though. There's a plethora of information on programming languages available online.

Making bots is a job that requires you to only be an amateur or potentially less.

Mhm thanks for replys, given me a lot to think about, I was hoping I could move away from retail work and get a job in Java, after completing this Java course.

Would I be best learning Python??

There's quite a bit you can do with Java or really any programming language. It just matters what you're trying to accomplish.

For example, I do quite a few projects in my spare time that initially helped me complete tasks at work and they've now turned into full applications that I sell.

So realistically there is no one programming language that rules them all, I'd recommend to start learning one that's object oriented and then branch off. Once you have a firm grasp on one, others become easy.
I personally started with java and then moved onto C# (and a few others for small projects).

Yep, well I think I will just treat this as a side hobby than thinking I am getting a job out of it, I will learn java first then I will move on to python as I think there is more money in that or just that i could have a more of a chance getting a job with out needing a degree if I learn python well. I don't have any kids or anything that will get in the way so my finance is really good.
