The first course starts from Java fundamentals and builds progressively through OOP, collections, and exception handling.

Does this cover Spring Boot?

Yes. Course 3 provides comprehensive coverage of Spring Boot 3, the latest major release of the most popular Java enterprise framework. You will learn Spring Boot architecture, REST API development, Spring Data JPA for database persistence, Spring Security with JWT authentication, and microservices design patterns.

Will I learn about microservices?

Yes. Course 3 covers microservices architecture in depth, including the comparison between monolithic and microservices patterns, service boundary design, service-to-service REST communication, configuration management across distributed services, and Docker containerization for deployment.

Is this course really 100% online? Do I need to attend any classes in person?

This course is completely online, so there’s no need to show up to a classroom in person. You can access your lectures, readings and assignments anytime and anywhere via the web or your mobile device.

Can I just enroll in a single course?

Yes! To get started, click the course card that interests you and enroll. You can enroll and complete the course to earn a shareable certificate. When you subscribe to a course that is part of a Specialization, you’re automatically subscribed to the full Specialization. Visit your learner dashboard to track your progress.

Is financial aid available?

Yes. In select learning programs, you can apply for financial aid or a scholarship if you can’t afford the enrollment fee. If fin aid or scholarship is available for your learning program selection, you’ll find a link to apply on the description page.

Can I take the course for free?

Übungsprojekt

Each course includes graded projects building real applications. In Course 1, you build a console banking application demonstrating OOP principles, collections, and exception handling, followed by a student course registration system as a comprehensive graded project. In Course 2, you apply Streams and functional programming to data processing tasks, build concurrent applications with threads and executors, connect to databases with JDBC, and complete refactoring exercises applying SOLID principles and design patterns with JUnit 5 test coverage. In Course 3, you complete a two-part enterprise capstone building a full application with REST APIs, Spring Data JPA persistence, input validation, JWT-based security, microservices communication, and Docker containerization.
