Thank you so much for this excellent course! This is a course I simply had to leave a review for! As you go through the lectures, you can really feel how much care went into everything from the structure to the analogies and examples. I'm a self-taught developer currently running a service on my own. I had no idea what I was lacking or what I needed to learn more about, when I came across DingCodingCo's videos on YouTube and started considering taking the course. I hesitated a lot before purchasing. Since I was already working in the field, I was worried it might all be things I already knew. But as I listened to the lectures, I actually came to think it was really the right decision. It felt like DingCodingCo was putting names to the issues I'd encountered in my work and the processes I'd gone through solving them on my own. The parts I knew and didn't know became clearly defined, and as a result, I came to understand well what I need to pay more attention to and study. I also got many ideas about what to improve in my service! I think this is a course worth taking even if you're not a job seeker, as long as you're running a service! Thank you so much for this great course!

As a backend developer, I had been feeling that when updating my resume, it's important to show specific competencies connected to practical experience rather than simply listing technologies. This course was a great help in supplementing those areas. Thanks to the real-world cases and project-based explanations covered in the course, instead of simply writing "Java backend capable" on my resume, I was able to more clearly include how I actually utilized it in real situations and what problems I can solve. In particular, I was able to gain specific examples and thought processes that can be used during interviews, so I think this is a course that provided a clear direction for the overall job preparation process.

Simple. Without even an introduction like "Here's what you can learn," it dives straight into the practical aspects of what to write on a resume to make interviewers nod in approval. I work as a backend developer for member/authentication services. Since I mostly deal with hardware and infrastructure directly in on-premise environments, I used to skip courses with 'cloud-based practicals,' thinking, "This is different from my environment." This course also has a part dealing with AWS EC2 and RDS using Terraform, but oddly, I didn't feel any resistance. This is thanks to the way Terraform was introduced simply, almost like a bash script, focusing on "why use this" and "how to collect performance improvement metrics through this." The flow of the lecture itself is organized as: 'Why is it needed → How to configure it → What's needed to prove it with numbers' This structure means it's not just a simple infrastructure practical, but it allows you to write something like "derived improvement plans based on performance metrics" in a single line on your resume. I actually operate an authentication system in an on-premise rack environment full of physical servers. It's an environment where there are physical units for Web01, Web02, ARS, Staging, and DB backup equipment. Even in such an environment, the Prometheus, Grafana, CloudWatch metric design, and load testing → improvement cycle explained in this course were directly applicable. Whether it was cloud or on-premise didn't matter in this course. At first, I thought the Week 3 index optimization lecture would be at the level of basic DB fundamentals. But it actually corrects your perspective on reading execution plans and tracing bottlenecks. It clarifies the meaning of Covering Index, not just at the level of "it's fast," but precisely points out its location in the overall tuning strategy and I/O cost reduction. I also had an experience tuning an identity verification history API where I simply tried to shorten the query length. Following the lecture, I was immediately able to catch on, "Ah, this was a case where the range index condition wasn't applied." That kind of intuition can only be gained from a lecture that explains things centered around cases. I am also looking forward to the subsequent lectures on transactions, lock strategies, and code optimization. This course doesn't just deliver practical knowledge. It is the only course that guides you on "how to write that experience on your resume." So, I changed items that I used to just write like "Automated settlement batch process and improved statistical processing system" on my resume, to reflect the quantitative performance expression, problem-solving oriented structure, and flow demonstrating the meaning of structural transformation I learned in the course, as follows: - Due to the Oracle procedure + Excel-based statistical system, monthly average of 14 million rows of self-authentication transaction data required manual processing taking over 2 hours, with constant risk of work conflicts and human error. - Built an E2E automated batch system based on Spring Scheduled + Crontab. - Prevented parallel execution conflicts and made execution cycles flexible with Crontab. - Included automation of report generation based on Apache POI + automatic sending to administrator email. - Processing time reduced from 2 hours → 15 minutes (88% reduction), maintained 0% settlement error rate, and improved speed of decision-making for related departments with automated reports. Since then, I have gained a standard for judging which structures are stable in practice and which designs are advantageous for maintenance. This standard is immediately integrating into my resume and way of thinking. It's not just a skill upgrade, but a change in the ability to articulate my competence. This course is 'a course that enables me to talk about what I did as a backend developer.' Even if it's not cloud, even if it's not the latest technology, It is a must-take course for any developer who wants to change the sentences on their resume.

What you will gain after the course

  • Backend Essential Problem-Solving Experience

  • Spring Application Optimization

  • Experience with index and transaction issues

  • Redis Fundamentals and Problem-Solving Experience

  • From Monitoring Concepts to Actual AWS Setup

Java, Spring, MySQL....

You've learned all of this, so why does your resume keep getting rejected?

It's because you haven't included core technologies like DB indexing, transactions, server optimization, and Redis
as problem-solving experiences in your resume as a backend developer.


So, can you confidently answer the questions below?

DB Indexing: How did you reduce slow queries, and can you show the results with numbers?

Transactions: How did you resolve concurrency issues or bottleneck problems?

Server Optimization: What was the specific process you used to achieve high performance with minimal resources?

Redis: Do you have experience dramatically improving processing speed by utilizing cache?


If you can't clearly answer these four questions,

In just 6 weeks, through the lectures, gain real problem-solving experience and
learn how to properly incorporate that process into your resume.


Before you even enter the interview room,
only applicants who have sufficiently answered in their resume can pass the document screening and succeed in interviews.
Now, become a competitive backend developer who clearly demonstrates "Problem → Solution → Result"!

Practical configuration that can be immediately applied to your projects

  • Not just simple concept learning, but based on problem-solving case studies

  • Based on real performance issues from actual domains


  • You can immediately use the before/after improvement metrics on your resume


178 days of development, 946 pages of materials, 12,665 lines of code in total.

I have analyzed hundreds of successful resumes so far.
Those resumes clearly had common characteristics.
Specifically, they contained concrete experiences of solving problems, and proved the results with numbers.
But the advice to 'quantify' feels abstract and hard to grasp, doesn't it? I felt the same way.


So I organized it concretely and created it into a course.
I developed it for a total of 178 days, the textbook is 946 pages, the original footage is 32 hours, and the code is 12,665 lines.
I systematically structured the content to save your time and enable the most efficient learning possible.
I turned these results into fully subtitled lecture videos through two rounds of thorough review.
You can get all of this in just 20 hours.


This course is not just theory. From problem discovery → solution experience → documenting through metrics, it's structured to help you apply it to your projects and create a truly competitive resume.
I will transform your resume from a simple introduction into a competitive weapon.

✨ What Makes This Course Special

📌 Beginner-Friendly

The first student of this course was a non-CS major bootcamp graduate developer.
Therefore, every concept explained starts with "why we need to learn this".

  • Docker, AWS, Redis

  • Isolation Level, MVCC, query plan, deadlock, phantom read, Gap Lock

  • Transaction propagation, Thread Pool, Cache Avalanche …

These concepts are explained "so that even those hearing them for the first time can understand"
through analogies, practical code, and test code.
Rather than simple term definitions, it explains why these technologies emerged to solve problems.

📌 Organize your "quantified experience" from start to finish with templates

You've heard the phrase "Quantify it on your resume!"
many times, but most people don't actually know how to use it.

That's why in this course,

A. Problem situation → B. Solution → C. Improvement metrics

I've created this so you can practice repeatedly in a template format.

You can learn a persuasive sentence structure based on numbers in this course. trong khóa học này.

Real resume problem-solving examples explained in the lecture


📌 Structured so you won't be left wondering "So what am I supposed to do?"

Lectures that just throw concepts at you and end there,
lectures where you can't even tell how they connect to actual work...
I hated those kinds of lectures the most.


This course connects concepts → problem situations → practical application.
It's not just simple explanations,
but helps you understand "to the point where you can explain this to someone else"..


In fact, 80% of the questions that came up in a
technical interview lecture from an actual major company (one of NAVER, Kakao, LINE, Coupang, Baemin, Danggeun, Toss) could be covered with just this one course.
This is proof that real companies look at problem-solving cases. cho việc bạn sẽ thấy các tình huống giải quyết vấn đề từ các công ty thực tế.

🥳🥳🥳 Real Student Reviews 🥳🥳🥳

Review from Hyunwoo, a student of Developer Job RPG

⛔ ️Warning 1: Taking this course does not guarantee 100% employment

I can't guarantee that just by taking this course, you'll definitely pass the interviews at top-tier companies like Naver, Kakao, Line, Coupang, or Baemin.
The problem-solving examples I've prepared will be seen by more and more students over time,
and simply using those examples as-is may become less effective for differentiation.

That's why I won't make exaggerated promises like "everyone will definitely pass."

However, there is something you can definitely gain from this course.

It's the ability to discover problem situations on your own and organize those problem-solving experiences in a compelling way.
This course is not a passive lecture that merely injects specific keywords.
It focuses on the process of creating a resume that proves you're a developer who knows how to solve problems..

Through this course, I hope you will become a developer who thinks independently and grows continuously.


⛔ Note 2: This course does not cover every single technology

This course is not an encyclopedia-style lecture that explains every technology from A to Z.
It focuses on accurately understanding the core concepts needed for problem-solving,
and how to apply them in actual domain situations.

For example, we don't explain every feature of AWS. We don't cover Docker from start to finish either.

However, the core topics of this course
DB indexes / transactions / server optimization / Redis
are covered in depth sufficient to prepare you for interview questions.

In other words, this course is a practice-oriented course that solves problems encountered in real projects,
and allows you to incorporate that experience into your resume.
If you need deeper technical exploration, you'll need to expand and study separately afterwards.
I will only accompany you to that starting point.


⛔ Warning 3: This course is not cheap.

The cost of this course is not small. I'm aware that this is a price that can be quite burdensome for job seekers.
That's why I've put together the content with a sense of responsibility.
I've thought long and hard about what content is most necessary for backend developers at this point in time.
Based on successful resumes and actual questions from technical interviews, I've considered how to create a convincing resume.

I've reduced the trial and error that could take months on your own,
and created this so you can set a clear direction with a single investment.

This course is a guide based on 'acceptance experience' rather than just knowledge,
and it's a practical course designed to help you actually revise your resume and prepare for interviews.

I would appreciate it if you think of this not as 'simply taking a course'
but as 'an investment in properly designing your career.'

I have prepared everything to meet those expectations.

      I got to know you, Dingcodingko, from Threads, moved to YouTube, and was so drawn to your incredible teaching skills that I ended up purchasing your course on Inflearn. I am a junior developer who is preparing for employment. The job market is very difficult these days, and consequently, the requirements for new graduates are increasingly high, leading to a lot of concerns as I prepare my resume and portfolio (projects). I am confident that this lecture will be able to address those concerns. Thank you for creating such good content and lectures, and I will always support you!!!

          As mentioned in the intro, it's not just about injecting knowledge, but explaining well from the perspective of "why" - why it's needed, and what content makes a backend developer's resume attractive. Actually, if it were just explaining up to this point, I wouldn't think there's a need to take the course, but since we even get to practice firsthand how to create content for a resume (how to quantify it), I think I can apply it when refactoring previous projects or developing new projects in the future. Thank you for creating this course, especially with the difficult job market situation!

            Thank you so much for such an excellent lecture!! I especially learned analysis methods for DB performance improvement that I had never thought of before! If I hadn't taken this lecture, I think I would have remained trapped in the misconception that performance improvement could only be solved at the application code level... Based on what I've learned, I'll create a satisfying resume and definitely get it confirmed! Thank you
