What I did on this course was I just worked through the entire spring 6 course by chad darby. It was a GREAT course to have for free. With that, I pretty much learned all the fundamentals of spring which was plenty to be able to do the final project. I then went on the D288 backend programming. Same thing, they have a chad darby course on there for building a full-stack app. Interestingly enough, I mostly learned about front-end in this class (But really really good stuff!) After finishing the Darby course, I had all the knowlege to do the PA. I will say for both D287 and D288 you basically NEED the reddit posts unless you want to spend potentially days trying to get clarifications on obscure requirements from the CIs. Ultimately, the knowledge I got from these classes were invaluable. However, I must agree the organization was not where it could have been.
@@NHPaintballer That's the one! Awesome course. He has another course in D288 as well building a fullstack e-commerce app. Both in my opinion are just so well made.
Nice, and yes I downloaded the sample code and experimented with it. I find that playing with the code through trial and error is the best way for me to learn, alongside watching the videos. Hope it helps!
So being that I have to pass this class in a short time, would you recommend only that 4 hour Udemy course that covers the basic frameworks and then jump straight into the project?
Good question and yes, that's my recommendation. Jumping straight into the project is great since there will likely be a good bit of trial and error that no amount of preparation will help for.
@@daniel.gallegos Thanks again Daniel. I just finished my OA for D286 and your other video you made for that course saved me a bunch of time by not wasting too much time reading all of ZyBooks and jumping straight to the 14 lab questions at the end of the book. Appreciate you very much, you've saved me a lot of time and headache good sir.
@@daniel.gallegos Thanks Daniel, I've gotten started, this course is probably one of the more disorganized I've come across in the BS Comp Science program, appreciate your guidance.
Started D287 on September 15, 2024. So far, allt of reddit posts say you require 5 products & 5 parts. But I haven’t found that anywhere on any of the PA instructions. I emailed an instructor about this & he reiterated you do need 5 products. I emailed him back asking where in the instructions is this mentioned, but he has yet to reply back. I asked this sme question in the class chatter forum so we'll see what comes up.
Hi, this is listed in part E which I won't copy word for word, but to paraphrase, it says your sample inventory for whatever store you choose needs to have 5 of each. For example, if you decide to make a furniture shop, one product could be a dresser and one part could be a drawer knob. This should not write over data that is already in the database. I hope this helps!
@@daniel.gallegos yeah, now I see it. My other question is if all the products have to be custom made with the parts you sell. Also, do you also sell the individual parts? And lastly, can you have like 6 parts instead of the 5 parts requirement?
@@raba650 I would stick with 5 so you can focus on doing exactly what the rubric says. Sometimes, evaluators can be strict about getting the exact requirements. And I believe the individual parts don't get sold, but it's been a while. I can double check the way I did it when I have more time this weekend.
I'll follow the Reddit post when I'm ready to start the project but I still can't figure out what learning resource to use to learn Spring and Spring Boot. Was section 1 and 2 of the Udemy course you linked good enough? Should I use the Udemy learning path laid out by WGU in the Zybooks? I tried Chad Darby's course but it made no sense to me
@@TheGavPav The introduction to spring boot section in the Udemy course is all you need to get started. I believe it's the first section of the course. I didn't use Darby's course personally.
@@TheGavPav If you want to master the material, the WGU Zybooks learning path will definitely help, it will just take more time (which is worth it if you plan to use Spring in your career).
Hi Daniel, that was a great video and lot of good tips. I wonder if you take the D387 Advance Java class yet and whether you have any tips for this class or learning resource I can go though?
@@PhongLe-v3m Thank you Phong! I'll leave a more thorough reply shortly but for now I'd recommend going through D387 course walk throughs on reddit. Here is one good one: www.reddit.com/r/WGU_CompSci/comments/17fnqu2/d387_advanced_java_walkthrough/
Hey Daniel I was wondering what learning resource gave you enough knowledge to pass this class? You had mentioned using a Udemy course was that the spring guru and was that all you ended up using? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Hi, thanks for your question. The Spring Guru course was helpful, I only went through a part of it but that still helped me get oriented with the Spring framework. I also highly recommend looking through the Reddit post I included in the video description -- it offers a highly detailed walkthrough of the web app assignment. Let me know if you have any other questions!
Appreciate you taking the time to make these, man. They are really helpful in informing my approach to certain courses, and I am thankful to you!

Thanks for your thoughtful comment! This is great info. I'll definitely check out Chad Darby's course for when I take D288 this term.
Is the course from Chad Darby the one labeled [NEW] Spring Boot 3, Spring 6 & Hibernate for Beginners?
@@NHPaintballer That's the one! Awesome course. He has another course in D288 as well building a fullstack e-commerce app. Both in my opinion are just so well made.
Hey there, I'm in the Udemy course you linked, did you actually do the Github and make code or just watch the videos? Thanks in advance!
Nice, and yes I downloaded the sample code and experimented with it. I find that playing with the code through trial and error is the best way for me to learn, alongside watching the videos. Hope it helps!
