ewgregerg c's honest review, Spring AI in Practice: Implementing Chatbots, RAG, and MCP in Spring Services course
Reviews 14
Average rating 4.6
1. This is strictly at an introductory level. You should not expect anything beyond that. 2. There is no narrative to the lectures. It is a repetitive process of simply typing along with the Notion lecture materials, and there is a lack of contextual explanation regarding why things are designed this way. 3. While the curriculum structure itself is good, the hands-on sessions feel more like pasting code snippets rather than implementing real-world business scenarios. 4. It is difficult to immediately implement an AI chatbot in a professional setting using only this course; it should be viewed as a tool for conceptual learning. Overall, the lecture materials are poor. (The materials seem designed as a reference for the instructor to facilitate the lecture, rather than as a resource for students to use for continuous learning.) 5. It would have been better if the hands-on exercises didn't end fragmentarily but were structured to lead into a single, complete service.

Hello ewgregerg c, this is Sini from JSCODE π First of all, thank you so much for taking the 'Spring AI' course despite your busy schedule and for leaving such thoughtful feedback to help improve the course..! Iβm leaving this response carefully in hopes of clearing up any misunderstandings and providing some help regarding the opinions you sent! This course was planned as an 'Introductory' level course, and the difficulty level on Inflearn is also set to Introductory~! It was designed with a focus on the 'Introductory' level so that developers encountering AI for the first time can start without any barriers..! Since the focus is on building a solid foundation easily, it might have felt a bit simple for those who are already at a high level~ The early to mid-sections cover basic concepts of AI and fundamentals for those entering Spring AI. As the course progresses, I structured it to weave those previously learned concepts together into an organic practical flow, culminating in a 'Complete Chatbot Service', 'RAG System', and 'MCP Implementation'! Regarding the code snippets and Notion lecture materials: I provided snippets for repetitive basic code so that you could focus on the core design and flow rather than spending time simply transcribing code..! And as you mentioned, the Notion materials were organized as auxiliary tools to help the class proceed smoothly and facilitate quick practical application..! In order for technology to truly become your own, the process of practicing firsthand, organizing everything in your own style, and creating your own materials is much more helpful than relying solely on lecture notes! I think it would be even better if you use the provided materials as a sturdy framework and complete your own wonderful summary notes incorporating your unique study know-how! I hope you stay with us until the end of the remaining 30% of the journey. If you have any questions or opinions while studying, please feel free to visit the Q&A board anytime! If there are any parts you don't understand or if you have any questions, please leave them in the 1:1 KakaoTalk question room at any time~!! I will be rooting for you until you complete the course. Thank you! π
