Full-Stack Development Is Dead, Long Live Full-Stack Development!

This course aims to teach developers how to bridge the gap between frontend and backend in web development by enabling them to work as full-stack developers using Java. The learning outcomes include understanding the challenges posed by the separation of frontend and backend, exploring alternatives for Java developers to work on both aspects efficiently, and comparing and contrasting three frameworks suitable for Java full-stack development: Thymeleaf with htmx, Vaadin, and Hilla. The course covers the architecture, application development, web frameworks, REST controls, and guides developers on choosing the most appropriate framework for different scenarios. The intended audience for this course is Java developers looking to enhance their skills and work on both frontend and backend aspects of web development. The teaching method involves a comparative analysis of different frameworks through a practical example demonstration.
