Course Description
Welcome to the #1 Online Resource on Java Reflection
Description
Java Reflection is one of the most powerful features of the Java language that allows you to utilize your JVM's capabilities to its full potential. And it's no coincidence that the most popular and widely used Java libraries and frameworks are powered by the Reflection API.
But Reflection is not reserved only for those libraries.
YOU TOO can completely transform and re-architect your code and create unique and powerful applications, algorithms, and libraries in Java using Reflection.
Teaching Philosophy
In this course, we will start from the basics and build our way up to complete mastery of Java Reflection through:
Theory and API.
Practical application of our skills in real-life examples and use cases.
Along the course, we also have plenty of quizzes and coding exercises to help you practice and validate your progress.
This is an advanced Java course, which will take your Java skills to a whole new level!
Your mastery of Java Reflection will set you apart from any other Java developer.
By the End of the Course
You will be able to
Discover and Analyze Java Classes and Objects at Runtime
Instantiate new Objects, Arrays, and Dynamic Proxies in a type-independent way
Invoke methods dynamically
Read and Update an Object state
Define your very own Annotations and combine them with Java Reflection code
Write powerful and intelligent algorithms
Join us today for this exciting journey and learning experience!

Excellent. I almost never leave reviews because most courses are mediocre. Michael Pogrebinsky's Java Reflection course is exceptional. His lectures are straight and to-the-point. His English is very easy to understand. The coding exercises are built into the curriculum through the Udemy platform.

Quality of Slides is poor - lots of pixels. Very monotonous voice - hard to focus on it for long without falling asleep. Content Wise Fairly good. Sometimes to slow/to Detailed then in other occasions some more information would be helpful

This was a very good course. I really like how the author presents the course, and the code examples provided are very useful because they can be used for real production code. Working on this course, I discovered how frameworks and libraries like Spring Boot, Gson, and Jackson work with Reflection as the base. I recommend that any person that wants to learn and practice reflection and understand more about software architecture take this course. Thank you for the very good-quality content.

This course is a must for every java developer. Maybe you will not always adopt the solutions that reflections propose considering the immense codebase already ready for use in the Java ecosystem but the topics of the course make you understand well what happens behind the scenes of all those components that you bring into your projects, from third-party libraries to frameworks, just think of Spring.

The course's content is great and worth even 5 starts, explanations are great as well and there are nice real life examples through the course. However, the only thing which made me disappointed is the fact that the sildes are not available to download, which is something that very important to me and helps me taking notes and also have a nice "cheat sheet" for the future.

I had basic experience with reflection before, nothing fancy, and I consider this as the best jump start to reflection I could get. This course is literally packed with knowledge and coding examples and exercises. I had to pause a lot, simply because there is so much information you are given by the teacher, and that is great. You are learning a lot from explanations, you are learning a lot from coding with the teacher and also from exercises you are given. I will repeat myself but this course is literally packed with knowledge on multiple fronts. I would give more than 5 stars if possible, simply because at least for me, this course is on another level in terms of knowledge.
By Leelavathi Pandrangi on 8/23/2021
Course content is worth learning. examples in the course are worth practising and instructor is knowledgeable However, explanation can be understood by above average developers. beginners or average developer feel difficult to follow instructor. I would be requesting you to make video's that can be easily understood by average and beginner level developer. Explanation could be tweaked for understanding beginner level developers. Overall Good content. Looking forward for new course If it’s possible, please make a course on java design patterns. I have searched in udemy but there is no perfect course on java design patterns

It has been the first course from Michael that I have completed. The instructor perfectly explains the course materials. I especially enjoyed the section on annotations, which has given me understanding of how annotations in frameworks like Spring, Hibernate, Jackson, JUnit work. Also, the section on dynamic proxies was incredibly interesting and cognitive. I will definitely acquire more courses provided by Michael.

The instructor has deeply understanding on java reflection. Each tutorial is well-structured with introduction (what will we learn), theory with intuitive diagram and well explanation, which usecases we can apply to, pratical example with live coding, and concludes with what we have learned so far.
By Kolio Mamata on 11/19/2020
Hands down one of the best Java courses on udemy. The presentations are very well structured and the explanations are good as well. Almost everything (90%) of the code is written by the instructor and also explained. There are quizes and excercises after every topic with solutions provided, which are very helpful. If you are reading this and you are interested in advanced topics such as reflection, don't hesitate and take this course, no doubt.
