I highly recommend this course to any developers using Spring at work. To be honest, I've been feeling quite overwhelmed lately because my company keeps telling me to work with AI... I've been waiting for a course like this, and it’s truly a lifesaver. I finished the whole thing over the weekend. Even for someone like me who knows nothing about AI, it was very easy to follow. MCP is amazing lol.

By any chance, is this your situation?
I know I need to work with AI, but how do I actually integrate it into my Spring project?
These are the four most common walls that Spring backend developers encounter when facing AI.
The company says, "Try implementing some AI," but I have no idea where to even begin.
I know nothing about AI, so LLM, RAG, and MCP feel like alien languages.
Since all the references are entirely in Python, I can't use them as-is for my Spring project.
I've tried simple LLM API calls, but I don't know how to integrate them into a real-world service.
That's why we created this
An AI course for Spring developers, not Python developers
No need to learn a new language.
Using the same Spring you've always used,
add Chatbots, RAG, and MCP on top of your business logic
to complete a production-level AI backend.
The familiar Spring ecosystem
With Spring AI 1.0 GA, you can maintain your existing Bean, DI, and architectural patterns. There is no need to learn a new, unfamiliar Python stack.
From basic AI concepts
Step-by-step from what Prompt, Token, Embedding, and RAG are. We start from zero prior knowledge of AI.
Commercial service level
Not a toy project, but real-world practice. We cover stable, scalable architectures that can be directly ported to corporate services.

Preparing for company AI implementation
I've been listening to your lectures since the batch sessions and enjoyed them so much that I'm following the whole series, and this particular lecture is truly great. I'm always learning a lot because you explain everything so clearly. I had a lot of concerns about implementing AI into my recent projects, so this was perfect.

Binge-watching the series
The instructor's diction is excellent, and everything is easy to understand. I don't think I could have done this if I had studied alone. They pinpoint the key concepts well, and since it includes project practice, it was a truly fruitful experience. Please continue to release more lectures in the future...

Introducing myself
"Making difficult things easy" — A proven educator
Hello! This is Sini from JSCODE.
It feels like only yesterday that I was dragged by a friend to attend a major class during my college days,
It's already been nearly 10 years since I first started developing.
At first, I wanted to make a positive impact on the world through the programs I created.
But as time passed, I gained one firm realization.
'Wouldn't raising one truly skilled developer have a much greater impact on the world than building a service myself?'
Because if the developers I taught create wonderful services in their respective positions, that positive influence will grow exponentially.
With that single mindset, I have trained over 200 developers in the field at boot camps for the past 5 years.
(Produced successful candidates for LINE, Kakao, and Kurly ☺️)
Watching my students grow as they enter the industry, I feel the power and fulfillment of education every day.
Now, I am looking to meet you beyond the offline classroom, in the wider online world.
I want to unreservedly share the skills and know-how I have accumulated in the field,
I want to help you grow into a 'capable developer' who creates further value.
This course, which I have prepared with great care,
I sincerely hope this brings a pleasant change to your life as a developer! 🙌

Hello! I'm Sini from JSCODE, who started as a developer and is now active as an educator.
I have personally built and operated critical national systems, but what I am actually best at is "explaining those difficult concepts so that anyone can understand them."
The actual field is naturally rough and complex. 🤯
But there's no reason the learning process has to be that way, right?
It doesn't matter what stack you want to learn right now.
I will break down the complex technologies of the actual field and feed them to you in a way that is very easy to understand! 🍀
Let's start the amazing experience of turning the complex ideas in your head into actual working services, easily and fun together with me!
I've been following your series since the Batch lecture because I liked it so much, and this lecture is truly great. I'm always enjoying them because you explain everything so clearly. I've been worried about implementing AI into my projects lately, so this is absolutely perfect.
