Nortal’s legendary Summer University had to be cancelled due to the pandemic, but we know how to be agile and adapt quickly. We have created a virtual study program for all the Summer University applicants. Guided Learning will teach you all the basics on the topics selected by Nortal’s specialists. And we will be here to support you on this journey!

Firstly, we will share assignments on each topic, that you can solve on your own. We will answer your questions and mentor you online along the way! We have created forums where you can ask questions from Nortal’s senior developers while solving the assignments. They will check the forum twice a day, but don’t forget to read what other students have asked before – the answer might already be there!

After you’ve managed to solve these assignments, there will also be live events, where we cover all the topics, you can meet the Master and ask questions from them.

We recommend you take the whole journey with us, but if there are topics which you have mastered already, feel free to skip some and focus on tasks that will challenge you the most.

Introduction to Angular

In this introductory course about Angular you will learn about the basics of building applications in Angular framework. You’ll build a basic blog application where you can create, remove, delete and update blog posts that persist in your browser though the indexedDB API. We recommend you to use @angular/material UI library that has a lot of pre-built components.

Introduction to Spring

In this course about Spring Boot microservices, you will learn about the basics of creating a Java 11 Spring Boot backend API from the ground up. You’ll build an application using the same tools and methodologies that we use at Nortal to create our applications. The content will start with the very basics of installing your environment and will gradually move to initializing the API, using Spring Data JPA and H2 in-memory databases, to building a jar file that you can deploy in the future.
