I would really appreciate it if you could also guide me on learning the Java 21 programming language. While I am new to Java development, I am eager to learn and contribute to the project. I believe that contributing to Apache Fineract will be an excellent way for me to improve my Java skills while giving back to the community. Thank you once again for your time and guidance.
