From the course: Complete Guide to Spring MVC

What you should know

- To get the most out of this course, let's make sure you're equipped with the right foundation. First, while not mandatory, being familiar with Spring can go a long way. We'll be building on Spring's core features to simplify our development process. Second, having a good understanding of Java concepts like object-oriented programming, data structures, and exception handling is essential. And finally, basic knowledge of web development technologies such as HTML, CSS, and JavaScript will help you grasp the front-end aspects of building web applications. This course takes a unique approach compared to my traditional step-by-step tutorials. We'll jump right in and build a beginner-friendly Spring MVC web application. As we progress, I'll break down the core Spring MVC concepts, explaining how and why they work together. This blend of practical application and theoretical understanding will help the material stick. If you feel stuck, take it slow. Feel free to pause the videos, replay sections, and experiment with the code. Practice makes perfect. The more you tinker with examples, the more everything will start to click. There is support when you need it. You're not alone. Reach out in the course discussions if you have questions or need clarification. This course comes with a Spring MVC handbook that serves as a reference and includes additional examples, explanations, and best practices. You can download this from the exercise files for this course. Remember, learning Spring MVC is a journey. By the end of this course, you'll not only have a working application, but also a strong understanding of the concepts behind it. Let's get started.
