Software Engineering - CST438
Week1
What did you expect a course in Software Engineering would cover?
So I am currently interning at a Defense company as a Software Engineer, and I was so surprised to learn that we were going to be learning Spring Boot because this is what I currently use every day at work, I did not expect that. I am supporting a team in the backend, and I've been learning Spring Boot, OpenAPI, and some of the frameworks that Spring offers. The first lab was the intro to what I do at work, and I am very happy that what we are learning in this class is actually very related to the current industry. With Spring Boot, we can avoid all the boilerplate code and simplify the use of RESTful APIs. At work, we use Kubernetes for deployment, Redis for caching, Kafka topics for data records where producers write the events and consumers read the stream of data. I am looking forward to learning more and collaborating with my teammates.
