Core Spring Quick Start | Spring Essentials, Spring Boot, AOP, Persistence & More

Description

Introduction to Spring 5.x / Spring QuickStart is a hands-on Spring training course geared for experienced Java developers who need to understand what the Spring Framework is in terms of today's systems and architectures, and how to use Spring in conjunction with other technologies and frameworks. Students will gain hands-on experience working with Spring, using Maven for project and dependency management, and, optionally, a test-driven approach (using JUnit) to the labs in the course.

The Spring framework is an application framework that provides a lightweight container that supports the creation of simple-to-complex components in a non-invasive fashion. Spring's flexibility and transparency is congruent and supportive of incremental development and testing. The framework's structure supports the layering of functionality such as persistence, transactions, view-oriented frameworks, and enterprise systems and capabilities. This course targets Spring 5.x, which includes full support for Java SE 11 and Java EE 8. Spring supports the use of lambda expressions and method references in many of its APIs. Spring 5.x is fully compatible with the module path introduced in Java 9.

Spring makes enterprise development easier. Spring simplifies common tasks and encourages good design based on programming to interfaces. Spring makes your application easier to configure and reduces the need for many JEE design patterns. Spring puts the OO design back into your enterprise application, and it integrates nicely with many view technologies and the new features of HTML5.

This course provides a solid understanding of what Spring brings to the table and how to use Spring in the context of other technologies and frameworks. Students are taken on an in-depth tour of the basic Spring framework, initially examining concepts such as Inversion of Control and Dependency Injection, and then working with the container and basic components. Students are introduced to Spring Boot and use Spring Boot throughout the course. The course then moves into the areas of persistence and transactions, looking at various options.

Working in a hands-on learning environment, led by our expert practitioner, you'll learn to:

• Explain the issues associated with complex frameworks such as JEE and how Spring addresses those issues
• Understand the relationships between Spring and JEE, AOP, IOC and JDBC.
• Write applications that take advantage of the Spring container and the declarative nature of assembling simple components into applications.
• Understand how to configure the Spring Boot framework
• Understand and work on integrating persistence into a Spring application
• Explain Spring's support for transactions and caching
• Work with Spring Boot to facilitate Spring setup and configuration
• Apply Aspect Oriented Programming (AOP) to Spring applications

Audience

This class is geared for experienced Java developers who are new to Spring, who wish to understand how and when to use Spring in Java and JEE applications.
