Introduction to Spring

Course Summary

The Introduction to Spring training course is designed to provide students with the skills and knowledge to begin creating loosely coupled applications that can be easily unit tested. Spring makes the development of Java EE and Jakarta EE applications easier. Spring is a lightweight, open-source framework for enterprise Java. Its core features can be used when developing any Java application. There are also extensions for building web applications on the Java EE platform. Spring enables applications to be built from plain Java objects and the application of enterprise services non-invasively to Java objects.

This course begins with an overview of Spring and then moves into storage. Next, the course covers REST, user interfaces, and microservices. The concludes with a lesson on implementation, and monitoring and deployment.

Students must have a good Java background.
