Hey everyone! I'm a fresh graduate from a tier-3 engineering college and I'm eager to kickstart my career as a Java Full Stack Developer. I came across Board Infinity's Full Stack Development course on Coursera, and while it seems good on paper—covering Java, Spring Boot, and basic front-end skills—I'm not completely sold. I'm curious if anyone here has actually taken the course.
Is it really worth the investment in terms of time and money? Or are there any better options available? I'm looking for a program that is structured, relevant to the industry, and includes hands-on projects rather than just video lectures. I'm also open to suggestions for beginner-friendly Java-based full stack programs that really prepare you for a job in the field. I'd appreciate your insights! Thanks!

I think the course is okay, but there are definitely some alternatives that might be better. For example, look into programs like Codecademy or Udacity—they offer some comprehensive bootcamps for full stack development that are really industry-aligned. Just make sure to review the curriculums!
I took the course last year and found it pretty solid. The curriculum includes basics of Java, front-end technologies like HTML, CSS, JS, and even introductory Angular. What I liked was the hands-on approach with a bunch of projects that really helped solidify what I learned. Overall, I'd say it's worth it, especially for someone just starting out!
Thanks for sharing! That's good to hear about the hands-on projects. Were there any major gaps in the curriculum you wish they covered?
Thanks for the tip! I’ll definitely check those out. Do you know if they have hands-on projects too?
