The Java Developer course is a comprehensive training program designed for those who want to master one of the most sought-after areas in IT and start a career in backend development.
During the course, you will progress from writing simple console programs to creating a full-fledged web application in Java using Spring Boot, databases, an authorization system, and a user interface. The training is based on practical immersion: theoretical material is interspersed with assignments, mini-projects, and team development. After completing the course, you will be ready for a Junior Java Developer position.
