Java Core: Introduction

Familiarization with the development environment and studying the principles of OOP.
You'll discover what Java can do by mastering the core language constructs—Java Core. Become familiar with the development environment and learn the basic principles of object-oriented programming. This is the paradigm on which most modern programming languages ​​are based. In addition, connect the Git version control system to the project and try working on the command line - this way you will create your first project outside of the simulator.

The best part is that your application code will be stored in a Git repository, so you can share it with friends or future employers. And the development will become even closer to reality: you will no longer write the project in the simulator, but in Intellij IDEA.
Automation of accounting processes
The first authentic challenge you will face. Technical specifications in formalized form. Input and output data formats and hundreds of lines of code. After this project you will understand what you are capable of.

Spring Boot and working with databases

In previous modules, you've learned the basics of Java fundamentals and are now ready to move on to the tools that advanced developers use. You will master Spring Boot, a modern framework for developing web applications in Java. Learn to create and manage database data using SQL and become more confident in working with version control systems. These tools will help you become a developer with a sought-after technology stack under your belt.

Module 5, 10 weeks

Spring, ORM and working on the server

It is impossible to create full-fledged applications using Spring without understanding the internals of the framework. Spring Boot greatly simplifies development, but hides many implementation details. You'll learn what Spring Boot does for you and understand how to implement the same thing using only Spring. Also learn how to write database queries and describe relationships between entities from the database directly in code. This will simplify development, help solve problems that may arise during the process, and will also be a plus during an interview.

Module 6, 6 weeks

Preparing for an interview and graduation project

The block includes participation in a test interview. It will last 1–1.5 hours, during which you will receive recommendations on skill development, feedback on knowledge and understanding of development processes. You will then have a second mock interview with an expert. It will be more tricky and strict. Java developers from large companies will ask questions about theory and algorithms.

The final graduation project, with the help of which you will confirm your knowledge and skills. During your thesis project, you need to complete tasks in the simulator and read a lot of theory. The development will be structured in the same way as in future work.
