FWIW: I'm not the author of the content presented here (which is an outline from Edmond Lau's book). I've just copy-pasted it from somewhere over the Internet, but I cannot remember what exactly the original source is. I was also not able to find the author's name, so I cannot give him/her the proper credits.

Usage of @AliasFor

In Spring's many annotations, it is often found that many different attributes of different annotations play the same role, such as @RequestMapping's value attribute and path attribute. In order to keep their behavior consistent, such as the value of value and the value of path can not conflict, their values should always be equal. To handle these issues uniformly, Spring created the @AliasFor tag.

The @AliasFor tag has the following usage methods.

1, explicit use within the same annotation

For example, the usage in @RequestMapping:

MySQL

INSTALL

Access mysql from docker container

docker exec -t -i {docker_container_id/name} mysql -uroot -proot

Project Ideas

Ok. I'm going to list off some ideas for projects. You will have to determine if any particular idea is good enough to include in a portfolio. These aren't creative ideas. They likely already exist. Some are way too advanced while others are simplistic.

I will recommend to post any project you make to github and make a github project page for it. Explain in as much detail as possible how you made it, how it can be improved etc. Document it.

If you pick an advanced idea, setup a development roadmap and follow it. This will show some project management skills.

Another piece of advice for those who are design challenged. Use different front end frameworks and use different themes for those frameworks to provide appealing designs without looking like yet another bootstrap site.

	# Backup
	docker exec CONTAINER /usr/bin/mysqldump -u root --password=root DATABASE > backup.sql

	# Restore
	cat backup.sql \| docker exec -i CONTAINER /usr/bin/mysql -u root --password=root DATABASE

	# Download and Install the Latest Updates for the OS
	apt-get update && apt-get upgrade -y

	# Set the Server Timezone to CST
	echo "America/Chicago" > /etc/timezone
	dpkg-reconfigure -f noninteractive tzdata

	# Enable Ubuntu Firewall and allow SSH & MySQL Ports
	ufw enable
	ufw allow 22
