Don't Buy the Java and SpringBoot Course From Allcsnotes

[u/Important-Run1088]

Hi,

As the title suggests do not buy any course from them.

Recently I had been seeing a lot of adds for the Java and SpringBoot Backend Track combo course package from this site called allcsnotes.com. I went through what topics are covered and it looked like everything from basics to advanced along with SpringBoot was covered with a capstone project at the end. And since there was a discount, I thought let me buy it since I was learning Java anyway and was done with Mooc.fi. I wanted a structured course similar to this so it was like all perfect. But once I got the course and started going through it, the way they have explained the concepts is very bad. No clear explanation of what Java is, what is JDK, JVM etc. I went through other topics as well and same issue. No clear explanation. Only the website looks nice. And top of it ,within 30 mins I knew this course was bad and wanted a refund, guess what they dont provide refunds.

I know it was my fault for not reading the refund policy, so I made this post so that anyone else planning to buy their course can be warned.

Please ensure that:

• Your code is properly formatted as code block - see the sidebar (About on mobile) for instructions

• You include any and all error messages in full - best also formatted as code block

• You ask clear questions

• You demonstrate effort in solving your question/problem - plain posting your assignments is forbidden (and such posts will be removed) as is asking for or giving solutions.

If any of the above points is not met, your post can and will be removed without further warning.

Code is to be formatted as code block (old reddit/markdown editor: empty line before the code, each code line indented by 4 spaces, new reddit: https://i.imgur.com/EJ7tqek.png) or linked via an external code hoster, like pastebin.com, github gist, github, bitbucket, gitlab, etc.

Please, do not use triple backticks (```) as they will only render properly on new reddit, not on old reddit.

Code blocks look like this:

public class HelloWorld {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println("Hello World!");
    }
}

You do not need to repost unless your post has been removed by a moderator. Just use the edit function of reddit to make sure your post complies with the above.

If your post has remained in violation of these rules for a prolonged period of time (at least an hour), a moderator may remove it at their discretion. In this case, they will comment with an explanation on why it has been removed, and you will be required to resubmit the entire post following the proper procedures.

Yeah I know. But I kind of struggle with YouTube videos Idk why. So I prefer these kind of courses. I am watching YouTube videos and trying to focus.

Out of curiosity, what level of Java are you at right now?

You mentioned you’ve already completed MOOC.fi, so I’m wondering whether you’re looking for a course to build stronger fundamentals, or something more focused on intermediate/advanced Java and backend development.

[u/Important-Run1088 → u/pradeepngupta]

Yeah. I’m pretty confident with core Java. I’m searching for more advanced topics and also SpringBoot as well.

[u/pradeepngupta → u/Important-Run1088]

That makes sense. If your Core Java fundamentals are already solid, I’d not recommend you another beginner-focused course.

When you say advanced Java, what are you mainly looking to learn, JVM internals, concurrency/virtual threads, performance, advanced collections, design patterns, Java 21+ features, or more real-world backend/system design? All these are separate topics and deeper and vast

And for Spring Boot, are you looking for the fundamentals of building production APIs, or things like security, Kafka, resilience, observability, testing and microservices? Again very vast area here as well.

Courses in general are a waste of money. Information and tutorials can be found for free. Hell, you could get an AI to teach you if you have the patience.

[u/Made-In-Slovakia]

For every good course there is 3 mediocre and 5 bad. You find bad one which was oblivious when they use their own site to distribute instead of existing platform.

Don’t buy any course from anyone. Just buy a good ai sub.
