Hi, I’m Robert. I’ve built software professionally for more than 15 years.

For now, I’m using this blog to take notes as I build an open-source, professional-grade web application using Java, Spring and Angular 10.

Soon, I’ll use the project to share with up-and-coming software developers the patterns that are often used to build modern, professional web apps. For example:

• Separating the application into data, service, controller, and view layers
• Separating the client-side (browser) software from the server-side software
• Modeling with a relational database (MySQL) and an ORM (Hibernate)
• Creating microservices that allow the client-side and server-side to communicate
• Authentication using OAuth2
