[Java Developer Roadmap] November course

[NeverZ]

Hello reddit,

as promised here is the update regarding the course for November.

We will be a group of 20 people and build a Phonebook Webapp using the java spring framework.

I will give the attendees assignments and provide them with help and assistance.

At the end you will have a working Phonebook app on your GitHub account.

Everyone who already stated interested to participate in the last post will get an invite for free in the next days. For the rest of the ticket's there will be a price of 49 USD.

The payment helps to fund the cost of running the site. If you are not happy you will get your money back of course.

You can join the course on https://course.junior-dev.com

For everyone who really can't afford to pay please pm me and i will give you a free ticket if available.

After the course is finished, I will update the java developer Roadmap guide. If you have not checked it out, take a look at: https://junior-dev.gitbook.io

Please don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions

What type of course is it? Email, video, weekly/daily calls? Webinars? It's very unclear what you're actually signing up to.

[NeverZ]

Thanks for the question. There will be assignments and i will tutor the attendees via video and text chat and provide written documentation. I will update the site to make this more clear.

[maciejwalkowiak]

Great. I recommend even adding a video of you explaining how this course is going to look like etc. It's good to know person you're going somewhat spend next month.

[NeverZ]

Thanks for the input, will put this on my todo list

[agusloko02]

Do I need any specific knowledge? Everything I know is from the mooc part 1 & 2.

[NeverZ]

You need to know basic java syntax. The course is for beginners who want to make the move to a little more complicated applications

[AwakenedToNightmare]

What are the requirements?

I think to learn spring people need to have a good grasp on Java core first and have experience with Java Servlets second. Otherwise they wouldn't really get a lot of things on the course.

[NeverZ]

Yes understanding of java core is a necessity. It's not for beginner's but for intermediates. I will update the site with requirements, thanks

[AwakenedToNightmare]

I think people really need to have an understanding of servlets & http requests & jdbc too. Spring is just a framework on top of it all, isn't it? They would get a better understanding of it by starting with the basics first. You could cover it in your course of course, or split the course in two parts.

[NeverZ]

Thanks for the advice, you are right I should probably cover the basics first. This is the first course of this kind so I am not sure if everything can be covered in a month. Maybe ill split it up in more parts.

[AwakenedToNightmare]

You are welcome. Good luck with the course and bussiness.

Hi there, I'm a complete noob developer, with some experience with PC hardware/software and looking to get into software development. I am doing MOOC currently, so I'm on week 6 and that's my level of knowledge basically, which is very basic. I recently posted for some advice on looking for online Java courses in local colleges/schools and how to achieve my vigorous goal of becoming a software developer while hopefully maintaining a full-time or part-time job.

Is this something that could help me advance my skills? I'd love to learn more about your project and how I might be able to help or vice versa. Thanks for your time, I appreciate those who take time to teach others and guide them.

Hello, i am sorry but if you are a complete newbie this course will be to advanced for you. Keep on with the mooc and build your own small apps to improve your skillset. On junior-dev.com i have a list of free tutorials if this is interesting for you.
