You can see Java running on most university's websites, and those websites look awful. One thing I experienced with Java is that it is much slower than other web technologies.
Front-ends aren't written in Java, what does Java have to do with it?
Because its a good CS school. CS is about the mathematics of computation, not about the computers. Technology is an implementation detail. ;) (It's an ivory tower academic course, not a course intended to help people start businesses).
You can find Dijkstra's notes online and they're all handwritten, for example.
How can I change this
Study and practice whatever it is you specifically want to get better at, I guess, be that database administration or dealing with small business taxes, taking payments or whatever.
Pick something you want to make and make it. The best guideline for this task is to scope small. For example, try and code a clone of Breakout. Now try and do it in a language you've never used. Maybe try and render it server-side and send the info to a canvas element on a web page. The other direction you could go is implementing algorithms in various languages as a sort of mental workout, but that's a lot less fun.

Good luck, I know you can do it :)
You can't gain confidence by studying, you must gain confidence by doing. My suggestion is that you start building things, pick an idea and execute it begin-to-end. Then pick a more complex project and do it all over again. It is very important that you finish everything you start though so pick your battles wisely. Good luck, I know you can do it :)
