I have been working on Core Java for around 4-5 years now, but have no exposure of working on any Web or UI technology. So want to have preliminary knowledge of some Web/UI technologies now.

My query is which technology/language/framework should a Java developer should pick first for learning?

Also please suggested good resources(books, websites etc.) to learn them.

Hi John, questions of the type "what language/technology you should learn next, including which technology is better" are off topic on Programers as you can read in the FAQ – thorsten müller Dec 18 '12 at 9:04

I would suggest starting with the Grails Platform, based on Groovy in turn based upon Java - you'll fit right.

For the UI I would suggest looking at frameworks like Bootstrap (Twitter) & Foundation (Zurb), these are great responsive HTML/CSS/JS frameworks that provide a brilliant base for creating nice looking web apps. You can also get bootstrap as a plugin for Grails

Play! 2 based on Scala is a good choice. – Vorg van Geir Apr 3 at 14:24
