WELCOME TO MY "COMPLETE E-COMMERCE COURSE - JAVA, SPRING, HIBERNATE AND MYSQL"!
Overview
This is a course about building a E-Commerce website using modern Java Full Stack technologies. Specifically, it's about building an online bookstore.
It's about bookstore, but the modules developed in the course is similar for all E-Commerce website. Those modules contains:
- User Signup and Login
- User profile management
- Product Management
- Shopping Cart
- Order checkout and order history
- Automatic email confirmation
As you can see, those modules are the basics for pretty much any E-Commerce website.Check out the preview lesson for a quick tour of the website!
From the architecture perspective, the system is divided into two parts - Bookstore and AdminPortal. Bookstore is the front-end website that customer will be using for submitting orders while AdminPortal is used for administration purpose. Presumably they will be running on two servers. The good side is the two apps are decoupled in some way so that they can be managed separately. The drawback would be that we need to maintain two copies of the code. We can see that throughout the course.
Why should I take this course?
Because you probably won't find another course out there onsimilar topic with similar length and detail.This course covers a wide rangeof topics on building an e-commerce website. It is a step-by-step guide with most of the code hand typing.
There are students from my other courses complaining that if I copy and paste the code and then explain it, tough it can save some time,students will lose track and drive. That's why I'm developing stuff in this course from scratch and step-by-step.
What does the technology stack look like ?
As this is a full stack development project, we will develop the code for bothfront-end and backend. A considerable amount of work will be on developing the front-end code using HTML, CSS, Javascript, Thymeleaf, bootstrap and etc. Thymeleaf is the latest Java template engine, which is supposed to replace previous JSP way (JSP is discontinued but is still being used out there)and it is the official template engine backed by Spring Framework, though it's not the only one you can choose. The backend side will be using latest Spring technologies -Spring Boot, Spring Security, Spring Data and etc. Then, we will have MySQL as database. MySQL is powerful and free to use and serves as a good database candidate in plenty of commercial apps out there.
Will I get the source code?
Source code and database scripts are provided in the very beginning of the course. Besides, throughout each lesson (I would say most lessons), the source code will be provided to the progress of the lesson. Yet, Istill suggest you to develop with me and take the source code as a reference.
What will I get by the end of the course?
This course shows an example of building an E-Commerce app from scratch. By the end of the course, you will get exposed to various topics and building modules that you need for a basic E-Commerce web app. With the hands-on practice, you will gain a lot of experience that is beyond just the theory. Nevertheless, you can potentially deploy this web app on Heroku as a showcase (see my other course on deploying Spring Boot app on Heroku). This will definitely be helpful during interview if you can showcase this app.
