Who is this course right for?

  • To get the most out of this course, learners should be familiar with core Java (classes, objects, interfaces) and have some experience using the Spring Framework, especially Spring Boot. This will help you grasp JPA concepts more efficiently.

  • While the course includes in-memory databases for convenience, working with a real RDBMS will help you gain hands-on experience in configuring, deploying, and troubleshooting real-world applications.
