6 weeks · 4-6 hours per week

In this liveProject, you’ll take on the role of a Java developer building an ecommerce web app for a small bakery. To support their business model of delivering cakes for breakfast, the bakery needs a bespoke solution that focuses on local delivery and one-click payments. Your challenge is to create a minimal viable product for the store and then iterate on it with new business features such as a shopping basket, Facebook login, and PayPal checkout. To do this, you’ll use the Spring and Spring Boot Java frameworks to build, test, and deploy your app. Every milestone in this liveProject includes a set of unit and integration tests, and basic user-interface tests, to help you to understand best practices of software testing.
