Public interview: Junior Java Developer. An example of how a project is defended after the course

Having a portfolio with your own projects provides an additional advantage when finding a job. But be prepared - in addition to a link to the GitHub repository, you may be asked to explain what technologies you used to develop your application, how it works, and much more. In other words, get ready to defend your project. Today you will see how the project is defended after the course. The author of the platform discussed in the video is aspiring Java developer Alexander. Maven was used to build the project based on Java EE, and the Apache Tomcat servlet container was used to launch it.

Online meetup Techno Meets Java

A few days ago, the Technocracy YouTube channel hosted an open online meetup dedicated to Java development. Its participants discussed a number of issues relevant to the Javas. Among them:
