Java Programming: Build a Recommendation System

In this capstone project, you will have the opportunity to showcase your Java programming and problem-solving skills by creating a recommender system. This system will be able to make recommendations based on users' ratings of movies, although the principles can be applied to any type of data, such as books or restaurants. You will have access to input files containing movie titles and ratings, which you can convert into maps and lists. From there, you can calculate average ratings and determine how similar one user's ratings are to another. Based on these ratings, you will then be able to recommend movies to a user. Finally, you will display these recommended movies on a web page. This project will not only allow you to gain experience with Java programming but also give you insights into how recommendation systems work for popular platforms like Netflix and Amazon.
