OOP in Java

Backend Development and Databases

Backend development involves creating the server-side logic for web applications, handling HTTP requests, processing data, and interacting with databases. PostgreSQL is a popular open-source RDBMS that can be seamlessly integrated with Java applications.

Java Spring MVC and Hibernate

Java Spring MVC is a framework that follows the model-view-controller pattern, simplifying the development of web APIs by managing request routing and data binding. Hibernate, an ORM framework, enables Java objects to be mapped to database tables, facilitating object-oriented database operations.
