About

Modern world spoils us with a wide variety of music: pop-lovers, rockers, rappers and club enthusiasts alike face a nearly infinite choice. Fortunately, there are programs that can help us find something we like and not get lost in this variety: in this project, you will write a program like this. Create a personal music advisor that makes preference-based suggestions and even shares links to new releases and featured playlists. Together with Spotify, your music advisor will be a powerful guide to the world of music.

Training project

This project allows you to practice and strengthen your coding skills, helping you get ready for more advanced tasks ahead.

What you'll learn

Once you choose a project, we'll provide you with a study plan that includes all the necessary topics from your course to get it built. Here’s what awaits you:

Get started: enable the program to search for relevant songs among manually entered items.

Figure out how to work with the constructor, Gradle, classes, and of course, OAuth. Now you can connect to Spotify using your login!

Get familiar with the usage of anonymous classes and make the connection with Spotify reciprocal.

Working with Java generics and dependencies, upload the links, process them and display them nicely in your program.

Apply a design pattern to improve your code and make the user’s experience smoother
