Complete E-Commerce Course - Java,Spring,Hibernate and MySQL (Udemy.com)

Step-by-step guide on how to develop a complete E-Commerce website with both front-end and back-end

Created by: Le Deng

Last updated January 2017

Our take

Based on the ratings of 789 students and a sample of their written reviews. No course pays to be reviewed.

Le Deng's course builds an online bookstore from an empty project, using Spring Boot, Spring Security, Spring Data, Thymeleaf, Bootstrap and MySQL. It runs about 20 hours and splits the work into two apps, a customer-facing Bookstore and an AdminPortal. Along the way it covers signup and login, user profiles, product management, a shopping cart, checkout, order history and automatic email confirmation. Most code is typed live instead of pasted in. The listing names no prerequisites, but it seems to suit people who already know basic Java and want to see how the pieces fit together.

Reviewers who liked it say real-world Spring e-commerce courses are hard to find, and they appreciate the full-stack scope. One beginner found the pace gentle and easy to follow. The complaints are louder and more specific. Several say the instructor types code without saying why, skips steps, or moves fast with little explanation. One reviewer found the accent hard to follow. Others report early 404 errors, an app that will not run, questions that go unanswered, and an ending that is not a fully working project. The last update was in 2017, so expect older tooling.

The rating of 4.3 across 789 reviews hides a real split. Praise centres on the depth and real-world scope, while most low scores ask for more explanation. Reviewers say the course teaches by showing, not explaining. Watch the preview lesson first, keep the provided source code open as a reference, and expect to fix version problems yourself. Without that patience, a newer and more heavily explained Spring course is the safer pick.

Best forJava developers who want to watch a full bookstore site get built in Spring Boot, then rebuild it themselves.
Skip it ifYou want clear reasoning behind each step, or a project that is current and runs without fixes.

Pros

  • Builds a full bookstore with signup, cart, checkout, order history and email confirmation
  • Split into a customer site and an admin portal, so the two apps can be managed separately
  • Source code and database scripts are provided up front to check your work against
  • One reviewer found the Spring Boot basics easy to follow and the pace not too fast

Cons

  • Several reviewers say code is typed with little explanation of why
  • Last updated in 2017, and reviewers report 404 errors and apps that will not run
  • One reviewer finds the accent hard to follow, another says the lecturer never replies
This course if very good at getting a beginner up to speed at creating a spring boot application. Very easy to understand and the pace is not too fast.
Frank Rocco, a student

Listed for all levels. One reviewer found it beginner friendly, but others got lost without more explanation.

Course Description



WELCOME TO MY "COMPLETE E-COMMERCE COURSE - JAVA, SPRING, HIBERNATE AND MYSQL"!

Overview

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.
Check out the preview lesson for a quick tour of the 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. The drawback would be that we need to maintain two copies of the code. We can see that throughout the course.

Why should I take this course?

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

There are students from my other courses complaining that if I copy and paste the code and then explain it, tough it can save some time,students will lose track and drive. That's why I'm developing stuff in this course from scratch and step-by-step.

What does the technology stack look like ?

As this is a full stack development project, we will develop the code for bothfront-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 (JSP is discontinued but is still being used out there)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.

Will I get the source code?

Source code and database scripts are provided in the very beginning of the course. Besides, throughout each lesson (I would say most lessons), the source code will be provided to the progress of the lesson. Yet, Istill suggest you to develop with me and take the source code as a reference.

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. Nevertheless, you can potentially deploy this web app on Heroku as a showcase (see my other course on deploying Spring Boot app on Heroku). This will definitely be helpful during interview if you can showcase this app.

good start

By Saurabh Shukla on 7/9/2020

Worst tutorial ever . He only writes code and doesn't tell why he is writing a particular piece of code. Awful

By Yue Chen on 6/26/2020

Hope Le would be more responsive

By Joanna Piskala on 5/24/2020

The course is not updated. There are many errors and you cannot get a web application to work. No response from the author of this course.

learning a lot practical stuffs from this course

By Zamfir Florin Stelian on 5/6/2020

There are a few issues that occur during this tutorial and the instructor doesn't answer any of them. So it can get very frustrating dealing with them.
The explanations are very vague although the instructor seems to know what he is talking about.
I do not recommend this course as it can be very demotivating at times because of the lack of the engagement of the instructor with his students.

By Kendall L Kehbuma on 5/4/2020

Amazing

By Chris Kavanagh on 4/23/2020

There is little or set up help, people have asked questions before me who are equally confused and there has been no response. We can't even start the course because there is no explanation of how to set up the ide and tools
