Spring is a Java framework for building enterprise solutions. It includes flexible dependency injection using annotations and Java based configuration classes. Spring will enable you to focus on your business problem rather than the plumbing that connects components and systems and will make your code easier to test. Spring Boot will even simplify things further.

In this course we will:

• focus on the core ingredients/philosophy of Spring (Boot)
• introduce aspect oriented programming (AOP)
• build a full application (front to back) based on the framework

• Introduction
  • What is Spring (Boot)
  • Architecture
• Spring Core
  • Using Spring Boot
  • The container
  • Bean declaration and wiring of beans via Java configuration and annotations
  • Bean lifecycle and Bean Scopes
  • Qualifiers, Environments, Profiles, Conditional beans and Runtime Value Injection
• Aspect-oriented Spring (AOP)
  • Aspects, advices, pointcuts
• Database support
  • Configuring data sources
  • Integration with JDBC
• Building basic web applications with Spring MVC and Thymeleaf
  • Writing a basic controller
  • Processing forms
