If you want to see how I got the CSV file to my PostgreSQL database, check out the video in the description!

[@fredericksamanga4495]

I have learned more from this than I have from renowned channels with 8 hour long course videos. You are a great teacher.

[@SWErikCodes]

Haha thank you!

[@USAmerica-777]

bro this is perfect for me!!! I have been playing fpl since highschool and now i am a senior in college. I have been looking into SpringBoot tutorials since all the big banks seem to use it for their backend. will definately give this project a go. thank you so much.

[@narutaim]

What a banger of a tutorial, simple concise and short, God bless brother

[@SWErikCodes]

Love to hear it

[@andiuptown1711]

You’re actually the goat for this 🙏🏿

[@SWErikCodes]

Of course glad to help!

[@carsongutierrez7072]

Alright! This is amazing! Time to continue learning Java!

[@SWErikCodes]

Love to hear you love the content! Is there anything specific you want to see?

[@carsongutierrez7072]

@@SWErikCodes I worked as a FIFA ITC Transfer admin and a CS student. Seeing this is so perfect for me. I am studying Python right now. I am actually looking at your portfolio projects.

[@SWErikCodes]

@carsongutierrez7072 that’s awesome! I’m gonna do a full tutorial on the machine learning match predictor as well soon so stay tuned 🤝

[@nourali27]

Pretty much had core java skills, this was perfect. Next step react + bootstrap. This channel will reach 2M subscribers pin this

[@SWErikCodes]

Much appreciated!

[@Dev-f8y]

Please try something like shadcn or tailwind or material UI because bootstrap is not that noice and not used a lot on cms or any dashboard thing

[@cosmicman5718]

Great vid man, was very helpful! Could you do a front-end tutorial as well?

[@farzanazakariah8868]

could you make a tutorial for front end as well?like everything other than this video,a full stack tutorial

[@tg7072]

Thanks for the video. What resources did you use to learn Spring Boot and how long did it take to master?

[@SWErikCodes]

Glad to hear you liked the video!

[@SWErikCodes]

For spring boot, I learned it both through my uni classes and by watching amigoscode on KZbin. I would keep building applications and learning, the best way to learn is by doing

[@Stl71]

KZbin videos was best for me and it took about three months, including Thymeleaf for frontend.

[@RebelsWrestlingHypeHouse]

nice video, will you go over a front end tutorial as well?

[@SWErikCodes]

I can for sure if this video gets enough likes!

[@CrisNguyenn007]

​@@SWErikCodesplease do FE, I would love to watch ur tutorial❤

[@mohibk007]

This is a valuable concept to learn, but the tutorial has several inconsistencies. The database instance names vary across different parts of the tutorial-there’s one name in the video, another in the GitHub repository, and yet another in the audio explanation.

[@gouadriasouheyl910]

can you please provide the link for the csv file

[@ForexPeak]

Awesome video man, been following you on IG and I've been waiting for this video. But why do you love spring boot so much from the little I've seen it looks like a pain in the ass to work with fr.

[@SWErikCodes]

Thanks for supporting! I honestly don’t know why I love spring boot so much, I just know it’s used a lot in big tech and I love using Java to code. If you have any other good back end technologies you prefer I’d love to hear!

[@Jaydunnnn]

Hey Erik! Im planning on building a similar project to this, but for UFC fighters. I was wondering if you frequently update your database to have up-to-date player data. After UFC events, ranking, records, and activity status can change and I was wondering how I can keep the database up to date.

[@SWErikCodes]

You can set up some sort of polling to scrape data from a website once a week. Or you can find an API to get data from haha that’ll be easier

[@Jaydunnnn]

@ Appreciate the advice!

[@increment-]

lmao i've landed the perfect video, FPL and java! btw who do u support and whats ur overall on fpl so far

[@SWErikCodes]

I’m a united fan! And close to 2 million lol not doing well on fpl right now

[@increment-]

@@SWErikCodes lol im a liverpool fan. love what you did on this project, i wonder if its live?

[@haythemmighri]

what about the frontend video and the ML part also i couldn't find the video

[@lovi.santiago]

Nice video! Do you think combining Spring Boot with Astro for the front end is a good idea for applying to back-end jobs in 2025?

[@SWErikCodes]

Definitely a good option!

[@lovi.santiago]

​@@SWErikCodes Thanks! I'll start working on projects with those two. Very helpful video, keep going!

[@Eddie-xv2bs]

do you have same project from the beginning? I need those codes

[@AmitojSingh-tf9ex]

i dont know whyy but im unable to see database option in my view>>tool windows menu can u tell what could be the issue or its due to community version limitation?

[@blanks1ate]

Yes, you need the ultimate verison

[@RDB0199118]

Thanks 🐐

[@SWErikCodes]

Of course 🤝

[@muradisgandarli2441]

Hi Eric.I tried to do all the steps as you mentioned but when i try to copy the csv file to created data base it fails as it indicate that "WIN1252" has no equivalent in encoding "UTF8". I would be very happy if you help me for the mentioned issue.Thanks in advanace.

[@mohibk007]

SET client_encoding TO 'UTF8';

[@raynerrodriguez2023]

I have been leaning java and spring boot to use jpa junit ... I will apply for an internship i hope to get it. Im doing an associate of SD

[@SWErikCodes]

Good luck!

[@dpvlogs0921]

I can do for other sports as well right?

[@SWErikCodes]

Yes for sure!

[@dpvlogs0921]

@ even I'm in computer information systems for business?

[@ogajibolaji7269]

I'm thinking of doing something similar to this but in Django and MySQL.... off the top of your head, what would you advice?

[@SWErikCodes]

What kind of advice are you looking for

[@ogajibolaji7269]

@SWErikCodes Just looking to pick your brain as regards why you're using Java over python and what pitfalls you think I should be wary of.... also the db

[@SWErikCodes]

@ogajibolaji7269 i just use Java because it’s my favourite language. I would suggest considering switching to Spring and PostgreSQL simply because it seems to be the more in demand tech stack!

[@ogajibolaji7269]

@SWErikCodes I'll probably go ahead and learn that.... I'm starting my CS degree next year and I absolutely cannot wait

[@SWErikCodes]

@ogajibolaji7269 awesome!! Your passion will take you far keep it up

[@AsadRizvi-je1zy]

How can i configure the database with intellij community edition?

[@SWErikCodes]

Do it through application.properties instead of the way I showed you

[@AsadRizvi-je1zy]

@@SWErikCodes So what should i put in application.properties? I just have this rn: spring.datasource.url=jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/pl_data spring.datasource.username=postgres spring.datasource.password=-------- spring.jpa.hibernate.ddl-auto=update spring.jpa.show-sql=true spring.jpa.properties.hibernate.dialect=org.hibernate.dialect.PostgreSQLDialect spring.jpa.properties.hibernate.format_sql=true

[@titofernandez1500]

How old are you? And for how long have you been coding?

[@SWErikCodes]

I’m 20! And around 6/7 years I started my first year of high school

[@abasjama4473]

is this the entire code, start to finish?

[@SWErikCodes]

For the backend, yes

[@SWErikCodes]

You can find the entirety of the code on my GitHub in the description!

[@unknown-mf7dd]

can we deploy this project, can u do it and show us how to do it?

[@SWErikCodes]

Yes, and I’ve made a video on this!

[@unknown-mf7dd]

@SWErikCodes I haven't done your vedio on how to scaping data in your yt channel brother , have u deleted it? I want to do a project on cricket instead of football, so i wanted to learn how to scape data like u did with football, thanks for replying
