Udemy - Complete E-Commerce Course: Java, Spring, Hibernate and MySQL

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. 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.

Because you probably won’t find another course out there on similar topic with similar length and detail. This course covers a wide range of topics on building an e-commerce website . It is a step-by-step guide with most of the code hand typing.

What does the technology stack look like ?
As this is a full stack development project, we will develop the code for both front-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 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.

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.
