Michael Hunger and I collaborated to create a hands-on course that guides users through writing code to build a completed IMDB-clone application with Neo4j and Java, using the SparkJava framework. The data used in the app comes from the MovieLens recommendation dataset and themoviedb.org movie and cast data. The app presents results to the user through a webpage supported by Vue.js for a user-friendly experience, focusing on the backend aspects of Java without agnostically covering other web frameworks like Spring or Quarkus.
