react-redux-realworld-example-app VS coding-interview-university

You have a working backend, but it is not very interesting without a frontend. Let's go ahead and install a React + Redux frontend that will serve as a UI:

This is the React + Redux frontend project, and for Spring Boot I'm not sure what your prospective company uses to interfact with the Database, but it's normally JPA, therefore this Spring Boot + JPA project is a good start.

Since you mentioned you want Redux: I found this sometime back: https://github.com/gothinkster/react-redux-realworld-example-app

Did you use create react app to build your app? It take a lot of the pain away from learning as there are a lot of sane defaults configured in. If you specify Typescript (an option for create react app) it’s a lot closer to Java than vanilla JS, also helps you write clearer, more typesafe code. Perhaps look at some existing smaller projects using React, there are some good real world examples for a heap of languages on gothinkster including react, but that might be overwhelming with redux as well which is a whole other part of a UI app.

However although their React+Redux example is perhaps the most popular one, it's not currently maintained. Instead, this maintained fork is recommended on their list. It's not in TypeScript, which today's projects should normally use, but I guess it's OK for beginner to study

I stumbled upon a github post called coding interview university and with the shiny object syndrome I have, I kinda want to ditch the roadmaps and start something new like this one in github, or the random dude I found in YouTube, telling his audience that he passed the FAANG interviews. The annoying part of me is that whenever I hear stuff like “I passed the FAANG”, I will immediately try to follow their path because their method works for them or to some other people
