in28Minutes Official - Ranga Karanam is an Architect with 15 years of Java programming and design experience with major banking clients across the world. He started in28Minutes with the aim of creating hands-on courses with real-world projects. The Step-By-Step series of courses is one of his creations. They use a problems-solution based step-by-step approach with practical, and real-world application examples. While their primary expertise is in the development, design and architecture of Java and related frameworks (Spring, Spring Boot, Spring MVC, Struts, Hibernate), they are expanding into the front-end world (Bootstrap, JQuery, Angular JS). The foundations for building high-quality applications are best laid down while learning. They love open source and therefore, all their code is open source too and available on Github. We use the 80-20 Rule. We touch upon other things briefly equipping you with enough knowledge to find out more on your own.
