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 implement AI, but how do I actually integrate it into my Spring project?
These are the four most common walls that Spring-based backend developers face when encountering AI.
The company says, "Try implementing some AI," but you have no idea where to even start.
I know nothing about AI, so LLM, RAG, and MCP feel like alien languages.
Since all the references are only in Python, I can't use them directly in my Spring project.
I've tried simple LLM API calls, but I don't know how to integrate them into a real-world service.
So, I created this
An AI course for Spring developers, not Python developers
No need to learn a new language.
Using Spring just as you always have,
integrate chatbots, RAG, and MCP onto your business logic
to complete a production-level AI backend.
Familiar Spring Ecosystem

Introducing myself
"Making difficult things easy" — a proven educator
Hello! I'm Sini from JSCODE.
It feels like just 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.
However, as time passed, I gained one firm realization.
'Wouldn't raising one skilled developer properly have a much greater impact on the world than me building a service myself?'
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 over 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 intend to meet you beyond the offline classroom, in the wider online world.
By generously sharing the skills and know-how I have accumulated in the field,
I want to help you grow into a 'skilled developer' who creates further value.
This course, which I have prepared with great care,
I sincerely hope this brings a pleasant change to your development career! 🙌

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 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.
Hello, Ddaksaewoo! This is Sini from JSCODE! ㅎㅎ
Thank you so sincerely for giving up your precious weekend time to complete the course and for leaving such an encouraging review~~
These days, many companies are requiring backend developers to implement AI, which leaves many people feeling overwhelmed.
As an instructor, I am truly proud and happy to hear that this lecture became a "solution like a ray of light" at just the right timing. 😊
Even though you are new to AI, you followed along smoothly and seemed to have fun learning—especially with the latest MCP technology—which makes me twice as proud.
Now that you've cleared away the uncertainty through this course, I hope you apply it to your company projects with confidence.
If you get stuck while implementing it in practice, please feel free to visit the Q&A board anytime. I will be rooting for your successful AI implementation with all my heart! 🔥
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 on my own.
The key points were well-highlighted, and since it included hands-on project practice, it was a truly productive experience. Please continue to release more lectures in the future...
Hello, Donkatsu King! This is Sini from JSCODE~
Thank you so much for working hard on the lectures and leaving such a great review! haha
I designed the curriculum to pick out only the core AI technologies truly necessary for backend developers and to help you internalize them through hands-on project practice. I feel very proud that my intentions were well-conveyed.
To meet your expectations for the next lecture, I will continue to provide solid, high-quality, and practical-oriented content!!
If you have any questions while studying, please feel free to leave them anytime. I'm rooting for your growth, Donkatsu King~!!
I took this course because, as a Spring Boot backend developer, I was curious about how to apply AI features to existing services.
The course explained everything step by step, from the basic concepts of LLMs to the key components of Spring AI, chatbots, conversation memory, RAG, Tool Calling, and MCP. It was very helpful for understanding the overall flow. Rather than simply explaining the theory, the course had us implement each concept in code right away, making it easy to understand how each technology is used in real-world services.
I would recommend this course to anyone with Spring development experience who is new to AI development, or to anyone who wants to introduce AI features into an existing Spring project. Thank you for the great course b !!
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.
Hello, Hakgyojong! This is Sini from JSCODE! Haha.
I feel so reassured and grateful that you always trust my lectures and follow along with the series..!!
Actually, many people these days are struggling with how to implement AI features, so I’m really glad this lecture was timely and helpful for you!
As an instructor, it’s incredibly rewarding to hear that you found it easy to understand and are already thinking about applying it to your practical work.
Please feel free to leave a question whenever you need help while working on your project. I’m rooting for your successful AI implementation. You can do it! 🔥
Hello, Memory of You and Me! This is Sini from JSCODE~~ Thank you for leaving such a great review! I'll be rooting for you until you complete the course!! hehehe
