Description
This course is a beginner-friendly crash course on Apache Maven, designed to teach you the fundamentals and core concepts without going too deep into advanced topics.

We start from scratch, explaining what a build tool is and why Maven exists, then move on to installation and setup on Windows and Linux (AWS EC2). You’ll get hands-on experience creating Java projects with Maven, first as a JAR app and later as a Web app.

You’ll learn about Maven goals, dependencies, repositories, plugins, and the pom.xml file in a clear and practical way. We also explore how Maven integrates with IntelliJ IDEA and Eclipse IDE, so you can work in whichever environment you prefer.

To make it more practical, we demonstrate unit testing with Maven and finally build a Spring Boot application managed by Maven — giving you real-world confidence to apply Maven in your projects.

By the end of this course, you’ll have a solid understanding of Maven fundamentals. The knowledge you gain here is good enough to start using Maven effectively in your daily development work. We’ve also added Maven notes to help you quickly revise the concepts.

This crash course is perfect for Java beginners, students, developers and DevOps engineers who want a quick yet comprehensive introduction to Maven.



Who this course is for:
  • Anyone new to build tools who wants to learn how projects are compiled, tested, and packaged in the Java ecosystem
