III. Learning Modules

1. Front-End Development Basics

This module serves as the foundation for the internship, focusing on essential web development skills.

HTML: Hypertext Markup Language, is the standard language used to create and structure content on
the web. HTML defines the layout of web pages by using tags and elements to format text, images, links,
and other media.

Basic Structure of an HTML Document:

<!DOCTYPE html>

<html lang="en">

<head>

<meta charset="UTF-8">

<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">

<title>My Web Page</title>

</head>

<body>

<header>

<h1>Welcome to My Web Page</h1>

</header>

<main>

<p>This is a paragraph of text on my webpage.</p>

<img src="image.jpg" alt="A description of the image">

 <a href="https://example.com">Visit Example Site</a>

</main>

<footer>

<p>&copy; 2023 My Website</p>

</footer>

</body>

</html>

Basic HTML Tags and Elements:

• Headings: <h1>, <h2>, ..., <h6>

• Paragraph: <p>
• Images: <img src="path/to/image" alt="description">
• Links: <a href="URL">Text</a>
• Lists: <ul> for unordered, <ol> for ordered, and <li> for list items.
• Tables: <table>, <tr>, <td>, <th>

CSS: Cascading Style Sheets, is used to style HTML elements and control the layout and appearance of
web pages. CSS allows you to define the look of your HTML document by applying colors, fonts, spacing,
and positioning to your elements .

Adding CSS to HTML

CSS can be added to HTML in three ways:

1. Inline CSS: Directly in the HTML element using the style attribute.
2. Internal CSS: Inside a <style> tag in the <head> section.
3. External CSS: In a separate .css file linked to the HTML document.

Example HTML with CSS

Here’s an HTML file with an external CSS file linked:

HTML (index.html)

<!DOCTYPE html>

<html lang="en">

<head>
 <meta charset="UTF-8">

<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">

<title>My Styled Page</title>

<link rel="stylesheet" href="styles.css">

</head>

<body>

<header>

<h1>Welcome to My Web Page</h1>

</header>

<main>

<p class="highlight">This is a paragraph with custom styles.</p>

<button class="btn-primary">Click Me</button>

</main>

<footer>

<p>&copy; 2023 My Website</p>

</footer>

</body>

</html>

External CSS (styles.css)

/* Basic styles */
body {
font-family: Arial, sans-serif;
background-color: #f4f4f4;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}

/* Header styling */
header {
background-color: #4CAF50;
color: white;
padding: 10px 0;
 text-align: center;
}

/* Main content styles */

p{
font-size: 1.2em;
color: #333;
}

/* Custom class for highlighting text */

.highlight {
background-color: yellow;
font-weight: bold;
}

/* Button styling */
.btn-primary {
background-color: #008CBA;
color: white;
padding: 10px 20px;
border: none;
border-radius: 5px;
cursor: pointer;
}
.btn-primary:hover {
background-color: #005f6b;
}

/* Footer styling */
footer {
background-color: #333;
color: white;
text-align: center;
padding: 10px 0;
}

Key CSS Concepts

• Selectors: Select elements to style, such as body, .class, and #id.

• Properties: Define specific styles, like color, font-size, and margin.
• Values: Specify the settings for each property, such as #333 for color or 20px for padding.

CSS Layout Techniques

• Box Model: Controls spacing with margin, border, padding, and content.
• Flexbox: Flexible layout model for creating responsive designs (display: flex).
• Grid: Two-dimensional layout for more complex, grid-based designs (display: grid).

JavaScript:
JavaScript is a powerful, versatile programming language used to add interactivity, logic, and dynamic
functionality to web pages. It enables you to manipulate HTML elements, validate forms, create
animations, make API requests, and much more.

JavaScript Basics

JavaScript can be added to an HTML document in three main ways:

1. Inline JavaScript (using the onclick, onmouseover, etc. attributes).

2. Internal JavaScript (within <script> tags in the HTML).
3. External JavaScript (in a separate .js file linked to the HTML).

Example HTML with JavaScript

Here’s a simple HTML file that includes JavaScript:

HTML (index.html)

<!DOCTYPE html>

<html lang="en">

<head>

<meta charset="UTF-8">

<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">

<title>JavaScript Example</title>

<script src="script.js" defer></script> <!-- Linking external JS -->

</head>

<body>

<h1>Welcome to My Web Page</h1>

<p>Click the button to see a message:</p>

<button onclick="showMessage()">Click Me</button>

<p id="message"></p>

</body>

</html>
JavaScript (script.js)

// Function to display a message

function showMessage() {
const messageElement = document.getElementById("message");
messageElement.textContent = "Hello, this is a message from JavaScript!";
}

2. Advanced Styling with Tailwind CSS

Overview of Utility-First CSS: This section will introduce Tailwind CSS, emphasizing its utility-
first approach that allows for rapid prototyping and modern UI development. Participants will learn to
customize components for responsive and accessible web pages, ensuring that their designs cater to a
diverse user base.

Building Modern UI Elements: Interns will practice creating various UI components using
Tailwind's design system, enhancing their ability to deliver cohesive and visually striking web interfaces.
This knowledge will empower them to build applications that stand out in a competitive market.

3. Version Control with Git and GitHub

Introduction to Git:

Git is a powerful, distributed version control system that helps developers track changes in code,
collaborate on projects, and manage the history of codebases. Created by Linus Torvalds in 2005, Git is
widely used in both open-source and corporate environments, making it an essential tool for modern
software development.

Key Concepts in Git

1. Version Control System (VCS): Git is a type of VCS, which means it keeps a record of every
change made to a project’s codebase. This allows developers to track and review changes, roll back
to previous versions if needed, and avoid code conflicts.
2. Distributed System: Unlike centralized version control systems, Git is distributed. Every developer
has a complete copy of the project repository (repo), including its full history, on their local
machine. This allows offline work, better performance, and added safety since each developer’s
copy acts as a backup.
3. Repositories: A Git repository (repo) is the central place where Git stores a project and all its
changes. It contains all the files and folders in a project, along with the history of every change
made.
4. Commit: A commit is a snapshot of the project at a specific point in time. Each commit has a
unique ID and stores information about the changes made, the author, and a message describing the
update.
5. Branches: Branching allows developers to create parallel versions of a project to work on separate
features or fixes without affecting the main codebase. A branch is essentially a pointer to a series of
commits, making it easy to switch contexts, experiment, and then merge changes back into the main
branch.
 6. Merge: When work on a branch is complete, the changes are usually merged back into the main
branch. Merging combines the histories of the two branches, creating a unified codebase with all the
changes from each branch.
7. Remote Repositories: Remote repositories, often hosted on platforms like GitHub, GitLab, or
Bitbucket, allow developers to share their code and collaborate on projects. By pushing code to a
remote repo, changes become accessible to others.

Basic Git Workflow

Here’s a simple overview of a typical Git workflow:

1. Initialize a Repo: Run git init to create a new Git repository.

2. Add Files: Use git add <filename> or git add . to stage files for commit.
3. Commit Changes: Use git commit -m "Message" to save changes.
4. Push to Remote: Use git push to send commits to a remote repository (like GitHub).
5. Pull Changes: Use git pull to fetch and merge changes from the remote repo.
6. Create Branches: Use git branch <branchname> to create a new branch and git checkout
<branchname> to switch to it.
7. Merge Branches: When ready, switch to the target branch (usually main) and run git merge
<branchname> to merge changes.

Basic Git Commands

• git init: Initialize a new Git repository.

• git clone <url>: Clone an existing repository from a remote source.
• git status: Show the status of changes in the working directory.
• git add <file>: Stage a file for commit.
• git commit -m "message": Commit staged changes with a descriptive message.
• git branch: List all branches in the repository.
• git checkout <branchname>: Switch to another branch.
• git merge <branchname>: Merge changes from one branch to another.
• git push: Push local commits to a remote repository.
• git pull: Fetch and merge changes from a remote repository.

Using GitHub: GitHub is a platform built on top of Git, designed to make it easy for developers to
collaborate on code and manage projects. Beyond basic Git functionality, GitHub provides a web interface
for repositories, issue tracking, project boards, pull requests, and many other features tailored to make code
collaboration easier. Here’s an introduction to using GitHub effectively:

Getting Started with GitHub

1. Create a GitHub Account: Go to GitHub and sign up for a free account.

2. Set Up Git Locally: Install Git on your local machine and configure it with your GitHub username
and email.

git config --global user.name "Your Name"

git config --global user.email [email protected]

 3. Connect Git with GitHub: Use either HTTPS or SSH to authenticate GitHub with Git. SSH keys a
recommended for secure authentication.

Creating a Repository on GitHub

1. Create a New Repository:

o On GitHub, go to the Repositories tab and click New.
o Name your repository, add a description, and choose visibility (Public or Private).
o Initialize the repository with a README file if you like. You can also add a .gitignore file and
license.
2. Clone the Repository:
o Copy the repository URL from GitHub.
o In your terminal, run:

git clone <repository_url>

o This will create a local copy of the GitHub repository on your computer.

Collaboration on GitHub

1. Forking: If you want to contribute to someone else’s repository, you can fork it. Forking creates a
copy of the repository under your account. You can then make changes and submit them back to the
original repository.
2. Branching: Create a new branch for each feature or fix to keep changes organized. Use the
following commands:

git branch new-feature

git checkout new-feature

Or combine them:

git checkout -b new-feature

3. Pull Requests (PRs): When your changes are ready, push the branch to GitHub and open a Pull
Request (PR) to propose your changes. This allows others to review, discuss, and approve your
changes before they are merged.
4. Code Review: GitHub’s interface provides tools for reviewing code, leaving comments, and
approving changes. This ensures quality and consistency in the codebase.
5. Merging: After approval, changes can be merged into the main branch. You can merge PRs on
GitHub, either directly in the PR view or through command-line Git commands.

GitHub Commands Cheat Sheet

• git clone <URL>: Clone a repository from GitHub.

• git push origin <branch>: Push your branch to GitHub.
• git pull origin <branch>: Pull the latest changes from GitHub.
• git branch <branch-name>: Create a new branch.
• git checkout <branch-name>: Switch to a branch.
• git merge <branch-name>: Merge another branch into your current branch.
4. Database Management
MySQL: This module introduces participants to MySQL, a widely used relational database in Java
development. Interns will learn key concepts such as schema design, table creation, SQL-based querying,
data manipulation, and constraints. Mastery of structured data operations is crucial for integrating relational

operations such as fetching, creating, updating, and deleting data using standard
annotations and controller mappings.

• Handling Middleware and Routing: Spring Boot introduced core concepts like
interceptors, filters, and REST controllers to manage request processing and routing efficiently.
This structure allowed participants to build scalable, modular systems with clear separation of
concerns, ensuring that their applications could grow in complexity while remaining organized and
maintainable.
5. Database Management with MySQL and JPA
SQL for Relational Databases: MySQL was used to introduce relational database
management, focusing on creating, organizing, and querying structured data using SQL syntax.
Participants learned to design relational schemas, define relationships between entities, and
execute CRUD operations (Create, Read, Update, Delete) through SQL queries. These exercises built
a strong foundation for working with structured data in Java-based applications.

• JPA and Hibernate for Object-Relational Mapping: Java Persistence API (JPA),
along with Hibernate, was introduced to simplify database interactions in Java applications.
Participants mapped Java objects to database tables, handled relationships using annotations, and
used Spring Data JPA to perform data operations efficiently. This gave them the ability to
manage complex persistence logic while reducing boilerplate code and improving
maintainability.

6. Web Hosting and Deployment

• Deployment with Spring Boot: Participants deployed their Spring Boot–based

applications to cloud platforms like Railway, Render, or AWS Elastic Beanstalk, gaining
practical experience in setting up production environments. This included packaging .jar
files, configuring environment variables, and managing database connections through

 HTTPS. Participants were trained in deploying secure, scalable applications
following best practices in modern software development.

7 .Authentication and Authorization

Securing an application requires proper handling of user authentication and permissions.

• JWT (JSON Web Tokens): Widely used in stateless Java applications, JWTs are
issued upon successful login and transmitted in request headers to authorize users. Spring
Security is commonly integrated to validate tokens and manage secure sessions.
• OAuth and Social Authentication: Participants explored integration with OAuth
providers like Google, GitHub, or Facebook using Spring Security OAuth2, enabling
users to authenticate via existing accounts and reducing friction in registration and login
flows.
• Access Control: Role-based or permission-based access was implemented using
Spring Security configurations. Interns defined user roles and restricted endpoints,
ensuring both front-end visibility and back-end access were aligned to proper
permissions..

8. Testing and Quality Assurance

Testing ensures the reliability, functionality, and maintainability of the application

throughout the development lifecycle.

• Unit Testing: Individual components and logic units, such as service methods and
controllers, are tested using JUnit and Mockito. These tools help validate isolated pieces of code
and ensure predictable behavior under various inputs.

• Integration Testing: Tests the interaction between different layers—such as controllers,

services, and repositories—using Spring’s @WebMvcTest or @DataJpaTest annotations. This
ensures modules work cohesively as expected.

• End-to-End (E2E) Testing: Tools like Selenium or TestNG are used to simulate real-
world user behavior and validate the full application flow across front end and back end.

• Automated Testing and CI/CD: Continuous testing and deployment practices are

to distribute static content globally, reduce latency, and ensure faster load times for users
accessing the application from different regions.

10. Security Best Practices

Securing a full stack Java application involves safeguarding both the client-side and server-
side components against common vulnerabilities.

• HTTPS: All communication between the client and server is encrypted using SSL/TLS
certificates, ensuring that sensitive data like login credentials and API tokens remain secure in
transit.

• CSRF Protection: Spring Security is used to enable CSRF (Cross-Site Request Forgery)
protection by default, using synchronizer tokens or same-site cookie attributes to prevent
malicious cross-origin requests.

• SQL Injection Prevention: Developers use prepared statements with JDBC or ORM-
based methods with Spring Data JPA and Hibernate, which automatically escape input
parameters and prevent injection attacks.

• Environment Variables: Sensitive data such as API keys, database credentials, and secret
tokens are stored in .properties or .yml files and managed via Spring Boot environment
configurations, keeping them out of the source code and under version control exclusion
(.gitignore).

11. Project Management and Agile Development

Effective project management ensures structured, efficient development and timely delivery
of features.
• Agile and Scrum: Java teams often adopt Agile methodologies like Scrum to break
development into sprints, enabling regular feedback and iterative improvement. Tools like
Kanban boards are used to visualize progress and manage workflow.

• Project Management Tools: Interns utilize tools such as Jira, Trello, or GitHub Projects
to plan, assign, and track tasks. These platforms support collaboration and help monitor timelines
and deliverables.

• Documentation: Interns maintain structured documentation using tools like

Swagger/OpenAPI to document RESTful APIs in Spring Boot, improving backend clarity and
enabling smooth frontend-backend integration.
