Description
Over 5 hours of video content explaining how to build efficient and performant server side applications using Vert.x
Vert.x is a toolkit and a library that helps you build reactive and highly concurrent backend services. It is built upon Netty, which is the defacto standard in building highly scalable applications on the JVM. Vert.x intersects performance and developer ergonomics into one amazing library. Using this course to learn Vert.x will help you become a better backend developer all around as it will show you concepts at a more foundational level compared to using any other monolith server side framework such as Django or Rails
Even if you are not a Vert.x/backend/JVM developer - going through this course will level you up as a software developer
The course is bundled with a GitHub started project that you can clone and start coding right away [must have the JVM installed on your machine]
A few of the topics that are part of this course are:
TCP Servers
HTTP Servers
CRUD API
Event Bus
Threading model and Event loops
Futures, Callbacks, and Co-routines
Web-sockets [Build a terminal chat app]
Exposing Prometheus metrics
Rate limiting your HTTP endpoints
Communicating with PostgreSQL [transactions and listen/notify]
and much more!
This course covers both theory and practical code to help you visualize and internalize core Vert.x concepts. It is meant to give you confidence and skill in building your next server side api.
Who this course is for:
- Anyone who wants to get into backend development
Instructor
Software developer with in-depth understanding of how things work (down to hardware) and how to program them right. Can help you get better clarity and understanding at every layer of the stack
I help you internalize software development concepts. Combining my interests in computer science and teaching, these courses are passion projects to help developers trying to level up
