230,688 PointsI'm not sure what you mean by "so basic", but this course is marked as "intermediate" level. Also, in the "Teacher's Notes" provided with the introduction video, it lists these pre-requisites:
- Learn Java track
- HTTP Basics course
- Java Lambdas workshop
- Dependency Management with Gradle workshop
Have you already completed all of those?
