I need some suggestion to start a personal project.
I am a fresh grad with no work experience, and it's hard for me to convince to companies that I can code; this is why I am doing this. I have only done some light Swing projects at school. However, I think I have a strong grasp of
Java core lib (IO, Collections, Objects, Multithread) and Servlet/JSP on
Tomcat. I know some SQL and can write simple join queries. I like to build a project that utilize all these things that I am strong at.
I want to start a scalable project that may be later modified by Spring and Hibernate. I like doing web services stuff so I hope data input can be a web data feed eventually. I was thinking of implementing a stock market price checker web app. Is this a good start?
Any idea in how I can incoporate Spring and Hibernate into such simple web app?
I am basically learning as I go, so I can't do fancy things yet. Just need something that covers OOP and Java SE API for beginner, but scalable and can be extended with complex functions easily.
