Course Description

Accelerate your journey to becoming a high-impact full-stack developer with in-demand skills in Spring Boot, Micronaut, Kafka, Docker, and Docker Compose. This 6-month hands-on course is designed to turn you from a beginner into a confident developer ready to build, containerize, and manage cloud-native microservices in real-world enterprise environments. You’ll gain deep expertise in core Java by mastering key features from Java 11, 17, 21, and even Java 24. From modern syntax improvements and enhanced APIs to virtual threads and pattern matching, you’ll write cleaner, faster, and more maintainable code using the latest that the Java platform offers. On the backend, you'll explore both Spring Boot and Micronaut in depth—learning how to create robust RESTful APIs, handle dependency injection, manage configuration, integrate with databases, and build reactive and event-driven services. You'll understand where each framework shines and how to leverage their strengths in different real-world scenarios. You’ll also work with Apache Kafka to build scalable, event-driven systems, and use Docker and Docker Compose to containerize and orchestrate multi-service applications in your local development environment—just like in real-world microservices deployments. Throughout the course, you’ll build hands-on projects and gain experience with continuous integration and deployment (CI/CD) using GitHub Actions. You'll develop the skills to test, deploy, and monitor applications effectively in cloud-native environments. By the end of this program, you'll have a strong portfolio showcasing your capabilities in modern Java development, microservices architecture, containerization, and automation. Whether you’re breaking into the industry or advancing your current role, this course will give you the tools to stand out as a backend and microservices developer.
