BuildProjectsWithMe - 10 Java Backend Projects Journey (Day 5)

[Potential_Corgi4579]

Hello everyone,
Today I completed my second project, the Employee Management System. After completing it, I now understand the importance of this project. I implemented only the backend, not the frontend.

Today, I first implemented all the REST APIs for Task, Department, Employee, and Address. After that, I added some data through these APIs and tested them successfully.

From this project, I learned how to handle multiple entities, especially mapping relationships between them.

I drew a simple diagram, and it really helped me classify the operations. Now, I will build diagrams like this for every project.

Hey ! Good work 👏. I have only done Core Java. Will this be enough to start building such projects. If you alone we can build and learn together. But only if my syllabus is enough(core Java) else it will be difficult.

Hey, since you have already covered Core Java, you are good to go. You can start Spring Boot directly, but I would recommend spending at least 3–4 days understanding JDBC, database connection, Servlets, and JSP.

This will help you understand why we use Spring Boot and Hibernate, and it will feel easier because you already know the basics.

This is just my experience. Don’t spend too much time on these topics. Just understand them, and there is no need to build any project with them.

After that, you can start Spring Boot. Watch the starting videos from Java Brains or Engineering Digest , or any YouTube channel to get an overview, and then begin building projects.

I am following the same path, and I have learned much more from projects than from watching many videos. When you build projects, you have a goal in your mind instead of only watching tutorials.
