Unlock the secrets of Java web servers, frameworks, and application architecture
Created by Francisco Isidro Massetto
Dig into the inner workings of Java web servers and frameworks by building your own from the ground up. Gain hands-on experience with sockets, HTTP, and Java annotations while creating a lightweight web framework. Develop a deeper understanding of how popular tools like Tomcat and Spring really function.

What You Will Learn
You will start by writing a simple HTTP server with Java sockets, then expand it into a multithreaded application container. As you progress, you will add features like annotation-based routing, JSON serialization, and dependency injection. Each step helps you connect theory with practical coding, deepening your understanding of web architecture.
Key Features
- Build a multithreaded HTTP server using Java sockets for real request handling
- Create annotation-driven routing and basic dependency injection for modular design
- Understand and replicate the core mechanics behind Tomcat and Spring frameworks
Target Audience
Ideal for Java developers and computer science students who want to move beyond using frameworks and truly understand how they work. If you already know Java and basic networking, and want to design, troubleshoot, or extend web applications with confidence, this course is for you.
