I'm Ranga Karanam, an Architect with 15 Years of Java programming and design with major banking clients across the world.
We started in28Minutes with the aim to create Hands-on Courses with Real World Projects. Step-By-Step series of Courses is one of our creations.
About in28Minutes
We use Problem-Solution based Step-By-Step Hands-on Approach With Practical, Real World Application Examples.
While our primary expertise is on Programming, Development, Design & Architecture of Java & Related Frameworks (Spring, Spring Boot, Spring MVC, Struts, Hibernate) we are expanding into the front-end world (Bootstrap, Query, Angular JS) and the amazing world of Python Programming and Automation Testing with Selenium Web Driver.
