Description

Welcome to this short yet comprehensive course on building applications with Jmix!

Jmix is an open-source platform for creating full-stack web applications in Java or Kotlin. It helps developers quickly and efficiently build various types of applications: from basic CRUD applications for internal use to highly specialized systems classified as ERP, CRM, EAM, SCM, WMS, ECM, ERM, HRM.

If you are a beginner developer, then this course is right for you. If you have some previous experience with Java or software development in general, then you might find some of the topics to be familiar and it'll be easier for you to get into it. That's because Jmix developers work with popular frameworks such as Spring Boot and Vaadin and write code in IntelliJ IDEA. Jmix augments this with visual tools, code generation and high-level API for numerous tasks.

This course focuses on practical skills – it introduces you to Jmix through building a simple full-stack web application from creating a project to deployment. Topics covered:

data model
database settings
web UI
visual components library
file storage
security subsystem
user roles
deployment tools

Although the course is meant to be practical, feel free to just watch the course materials or browse through the course and only watch the topics your are most interested in.

Who this course is for:

Beginner developers willing to create a real web application and learn the underlying concepts
Experienced developers researching new tools to boost productivity
Anyone looking to create a web application built against open-source technologies
