##About in28Minutes

• At in28Minutes, we ask ourselves one question everyday. How do we create more effective trainings?
• We use Problem-Solution based Step-By-Step Hands-on Approach With Practical, Real World Application Examples.
• Our success on Udemy and Youtube (2 Million Views & 12K Subscribers) speaks volumes about the success of our approach.
• While our primary expertise is on Development, Design & Architecture Java & Related Frameworks (Spring, Struts, Hibernate) we are expanding into the front-end world (Bootstrap, JQuery, Angular JS).

###Our Beliefs

• Best Course are interactive and fun.
• Foundations for building high quality applications are best laid down while learning.

###Our Approach

• Problem Solution based Step by Step Hands-on Learning
• Practical, Real World Application Examples.
• We use 80-20 Rule. We discuss 20% things used 80% of time in depth. We touch upon other things briefly equipping you with enough knowledge to find out more on your own.
• We will be developing a demo application in the course, which could be reused in your projects, saving hours of your effort.
• All the code is available on Github, for most steps.
