Java Full Stack Experiential Learning

Welcome to the IBM BR CIC Java Full Stack Experiential Learning. The experiential learning is designed for practitioners seeking to enrich their Full Stack skills. The learning leverages the technologies in high demand by our clients.
These technologies are not limited too but include Java, Spring Boot, Spring Cloud, Docker, Docker Compose, Kubernetes, Angular, and React. Upon successfully implementing the entire learning, there are eight components (containers) that should be running simultaneously:

• Two UIs (Angular and React) running in parallel
• Four Spring Boot Applications
• Two Databases (SQL or NoSQL).

The ultimate goal is the Journey to the Cloud which is accomplished by deploying the application to a cloud platform of the your choice: AWS, Azure, IBM Cloud, Google Cloud, or Red Hat OpenShift.
