Coding 101

Why technology ?



There’s been a lot of buzz about kids learning to code lately. This year, almost 200 million students around the world were exposed to coding through the Hour of Code event. And over 90% of American parents want programming added to their child’s curriculum.

  • Coding drives innovation. From self-driving cars to robot-assisted surgery to social media, computer science is revolutionizing every aspect of our lives. Coding is a fundamental skill that children need to learn so they can lead this movement.
  • Coding allows kids to be creative. They can create projects that do really amazing things.
  • Coding builds confidence. It is incredibly empowering for children to be able to create projects and show them off to family and friends.
  • Coding is best learned early. Learning to code is similar to learning a second language. The earlier that children are exposed to fundamental topics like sequencing, loops, and conditionals, the more deeply they absorb these concepts.
  • Coding translates to success in other areas. Learning to program supports learning in other areas, like math, reading, and science.

Create WAR file in Spring Boot

This is just a three step simple procedure to package your application into war. Extending Main Class First, we extend our main class to SpringBootServletInitializer. This tells spring that your main class will be the entry point to initialize your project in server. ? 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 @SpringBootApplication public class Application extends SpringBootServletInitializer{        public static void main(String[] args) {          SpringApplication.run(Application. class , args);      } } Overriding configure method Next, we overload the configure method of SpringBootServletInitializer. We tell spring to build the sources from our Main class. Your final Main class should look like this: ? 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 @SpringBootApplication public class Application extends SpringBootServletInitializer{        public static void main(String[] args) {     ...
