Headful Delivery Developer
Courses

This learning path is your gateway to mastering the full-stack delivery layer of your CoreMedia project.

What is a Headful Delivery Developer?

A Headful Delivery Developer specializes in building traditional, template-driven websites using CoreMedia Content Cloud.
Unlike headless approaches, this role focuses on rendering content directly through Freemarker templates and Java-based domain objects—delivered via the powerful Content Application Engine.

Why Take This Learning Path?

This path is your gateway to mastering the full-stack delivery layer of a CMS project. You'll learn how to implement rich, responsive frontends with Freemarker, CSS, and SASS, and dive deep into backend logic with Java, Spring MVC, and domain modeling. Whether you're crafting themes or engineering the content flow, this path equips you with the skills to build robust, scalable, and maintainable websites.

Build Your Foundation

Before you start developing you need to have a good understanding of the basic principles of the architecture of the CoreMedia Content Cloud. Our Foundation courses will provide you with this knowledge.
