✅ What I did today
Created my first Spring Boot (Java) project
Wrote a small API using @RestController and @GetMapping
Fixed a port issue on 8080 (took me a while 😅)
Ran the backend and saw my API respond in the browser
Installed and set up Next.js
Made a simple homepage with two links
Learned how frontend (Next.js) and backend (Spring Boot) can talk to each other
🧠 What I understood
Backend = where the logic happens
Frontend = what the user sees
API = the connection between the two
Errors are normal… and solving them teaches you the most
🎯 What’s next?
I want to practice making more pages in Next.js, connect them to APIs, and slowly get better at both sides of development.
