How to become a Java junior. What do they ask at an interview?

Completion of training does not mean that a beginner who has mastered his first programming language will immediately be guaranteed a well-paid job in an IT company. To do this, at a minimum, you will have to go through one more important stage - a job interview.

In addition, the blogger shares useful tips on how to avoid problems when working in the Spring Framework. Please note that this is only the first of 15 videos about Spring from this author. The rest can be found on his YouTube channel.
