Why Java Spark Framework is part of the Java web Track ???

Hi

I am not sure why would any one put Spark as a part of Java Web development track. 2 sets are required ... but really ... is Spark used in the real world? I do get the instructor's argument that we should be able to switch Frameworks ... once you understand one ... you can jump to the next.

My advise is drop Spark as a java web developer track requirement, keep it as a side offer, and replace with additional Spring core functionalities ... Spring Data, Spring Security, Spring whatever project out there. This would be more effective use of Students time, some are adults and time for them is important. Or you can add JSP ... but really ..Spring seems to be in the lead.

Or folks

Make the track ... fixed sets oif courses and optional web framework paths ... student can select Spring, JSP, Spark, Play ... and I bet no one or very few will pick Spark as an option ...

I am skipping Spark ... a waste of time.
