Here are some great videos that I followed to gain a better understanding of how bitcoin works on a server level theres a good section on the java in video 5 if you have a good understanding already of some of this info.

Enjoy.

Thank you for your reply. I don't want to start with arguing about programming languages, but I think that most scaling issues come with bad design and/or bad programming technique, not so much because the chosen language is Java or C++. But obviously I have to learn a ton about Bitoins scaling issues

Yep its not time and place to argue about programming languages but if got to this point, i will add one fact.
Same application written in JAVA and C++, works 10 times faster in certain cases on C++ due to JAVA virtualises everything before executing. Its overhead that you can't overcome. Its JAVA design :/. You can run applications on EVERY enviroment, every system, but with a cost on performance.

Most scaling problems with Bitcoin is its first synchronization, due to verification of all signatures and blocks.
Second biggest problem is decentralised nature, you can't use too many resources because common user hardware won't be able to run bitcoin node etc.

Its very tricky stuff which is amazing by itself, love it, i spend years optimizing databases and applications, there is no limit to it, you can ALWAYS optimize better.

Do you have any previous developing experience related to crypto? If not here's a page where you can learn some of the basics of BTC https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Category:Technical

The whole wiki page is a great resource for learning the groundworks of the coin. Afterwards there's a Development & Technical Discussion section of the forum where people discuss such stuff, you might see something interesting there.

I have no developing experience related to crypto yet. So pointers where to start reading are much appreciated

Welcome to Bitcoin world, stay with us for many years to come.
First of all, switch language, Java is slow, Java is not suited for Bitcoin with its scalling problems and resources intensive nature.
We need here C++, C, Python and even PHP developers Tongue

. Fast programming languages that suits Bitcoin best. No offence intended.

Hello,

I am a Java Developer and quite new to Bitcoins.
I develop fulltime since 10 years and am more into backend development than frontend development.
What would be the right approach starting with Bitcoins?
I would like to get some markatable skills and maybe earn some passive income on the side.
All help is very appreciated and i am prepared to invest some time to get a good start.
