Hello, Younghwan! I originally leave course reviews after watching all the lectures completely.. but since I'm recording all of your lecture content while taking classes, it seems like it would take too long, so I want to quickly express my gratitude that thanks to studying with your lectures for 1 year and 10 months, I was able to get hired as a new developer, so I'm leaving this review in the middle of taking the course..😊😊 The company I got hired at uses Kotlin + Spring for backend until this year, and will transition to TypeScript + NestJS in 2026, but thanks to the fundamentals and confidence built through your lectures, I feel like I can understand and handle any language or framework transition if I put in the effort. Thanks to the knowledge built from the ground up that I learned from your lectures, I was able to not give up on becoming a developer despite the difficult job market, I was able to do side projects with people I didn't know through trial and error, I was always in the top group at bootcamp and could grow together with skilled people to produce results, and although the company isn't a famous and excellent IT industry company, I was able to bear fruit despite it being a difficult time for employment. Just like you often said at the end of your lectures about "what's next" or at conferences and special lectures, even though I might not get many responses from the numerous companies I applied to, there existed a company somewhere that would hire me😆😆😆 With the mindset that this is truly the beginning, I will strive to become a developer who burns steadily for a long time rather than briefly flaring up! I'm so very grateful and always respect you! It will take time, but I'll complete both the beginner and basic courses bit by bit on weekends and see you again in the course reviews

You've opened a database course this time~ I'm currently working at a company after studying with Younghan's lectures. What I've realized while working is that while SQL is important for databases, it's crucial to understand and utilize the database itself well, so I'm studying step by step as a review. I'm always learning well~

Hello, teacher. As a QA professional in my fourth year, I became interested in development and took my first step with your course. I couldn’t even properly write a SELECT statement, but after taking your lectures and reviewing them, I used GPT to create review questions and studied every day. I’ve only just begun, but thanks to you, I was able to discover the world of SQL, and I gradually started to enjoy writing queries. I’ve found myself seeking out more of your lectures and watching your YouTube videos as well. I still have a long way to go, but I’ll steadily work through your courses and be sure to achieve my goal. Thank you so much. When you said in your final lecture that even a one-line review could be a great source of encouragement, I immediately opened the course review page. Just as this has been a great source of strength for me, I hope this review can encourage you as well. Let’s keep fighting together. Thank you!

The core of every service we create lies in the database.
A database is like the ‘heart’ that powers software.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I was often impressed by the step-by-step sequences and materials that could only come from thinking deeply from a beginner’s perspective. Just as your current courses have done for me, I hope you will continue to create courses that can lend a helping hand to people who, like I once did, feel lost and troubled. Thank you!

"Spring Boot - Core Principles and Practical Applications"
Course Review

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐️

I only knew how to do CRUD, and the DB issues I occasionally encountered made me feel like there was a gap somewhere, since even googling them only yielded fragmented knowledge, so this is the course that fills that gap. ... I guess the fundamentals really are important. And I don't think anyone lays down those fundamentals as well as Younghan does.

"Spring DB Part 1 - Core Principles of Data Access" Course Review

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

It’s truly the best. While taking other courses, I had questions like “Why is this used this way?” that remained unanswered, as well as things I wondered about while studying on my own, such as “Why does this part work this way?” He explains all of them so clearly that every question is resolved. ... If you’ve ever studied on your own and struggled to fully resolve your questions, I highly recommend it. I’m really looking forward to the intermediate and advanced courses as well.

"Kim Young-han's Practical Java - Fundamentals"
Course Review

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Showing us how things actually work by opening the web browser’s developer tools throughout the lecture seems to have sparked more interest in me by helping me realize that what I’m studying really works that way. ... Please continue uploading many more courses and spreading your positive influence to many people. Thank you for the great course. ^^

"Basic HTTP Web Knowledge for All Developers" Course Review

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I am truly grateful for the practical lectures and detailed explanations you provide, as well as your thoughtfulness in explaining things you had covered before once again. ... I feel that my life is going to change thanks to your lectures, which I discovered while searching for a way forward because I could not let myself be defeated by the limitations of government-funded training. I will work hard to become a capable developer, with the goal of working at the same company as you someday. Thank you sincerely.

"Spring Core Principles - Basics" Course Review

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I was able to get the big picture of what I can build with Spring, and rather than simply teaching the technologies in isolation, you naturally built everything up from start to finish, explaining that these technologies were introduced to solve inefficiencies or problems that arise while writing code, which made it smooth and easy to learn!

      Wow~ Naguri, I sincerely congratulate you :) Thanks to your proper study of Java and Spring, you were able to maintain top rankings in the bootcamp, and because of that, many other people asked you questions, which I think helped you grow even better. Now it's really the beginning. I'll always be cheering you on too^^!
