Course Description

Are you ready to become a skilled Java Backend Engineer equipped with the tools and expertise needed to thrive in modern software development? Over the span of 6 months, this immersive program will take you from foundational Java skills to advanced backend engineering practices, combining hands-on projects with real-world tools and cloud-native technologies. You'll begin by mastering core Java programming and building powerful, production-ready RESTful APIs using Spring Boot. You'll explore message-driven architectures with Kafka, and gain proficiency in Git version control operations like fetch, pull, push, merge, and rebasing across platforms such as GitHub and GitLab. As you dive deeper, you'll learn to design scalable CI/CD pipelines for automated testing and deployments using tools like GitHub Actions and GitLab CI. The course covers modern API development patterns including REST, GraphQL, and API documentation with OpenAPI. You'll learn how to integrate SQL databases (with DDL, DML, and optimization techniques) as well as NoSQL and cloud databases like MongoDB and DynamoDB. With Docker and Docker Compose, you'll containerize your applications, then deploy and manage them at scale using Kubernetes and Helm Charts. Additionally, you’ll develop cloud-native applications on AWS, leveraging services such as EC2, Lambda, API Gateway, SQS, and SNS. You'll also be introduced to Infrastructure-as-Code using Terraform, ensuring reproducibility and automation in your infrastructure management. Security best practices, including secrets management, HTTPS, and OWASP principles, will be embedded throughout your journey. Frontend integration isn't left behind — you’ll gain basic exposure to building responsive UIs using React and Next.js to better understand full-stack development workflows. You’ll also build the skills to conduct effective pull request (PR) reviews, write clean and maintainable code, and work in Agile teams. By the end of this course, you will have built a portfolio of projects demonstrating real-world proficiency in backend engineering, cloud deployment, automation, and scalable system design. Whether you're looking to break into the tech industry or level up your existing skills, this course offers a career-transforming path to becoming a confident, job-ready Java Backend Engineer.
