Foundations of Java Spring Boot

Ready to move beyond core Java and build powerful, enterprise-grade web applications? Spring Boot simplifies the process, letting you focus on writing business logic instead of complex configuration. This course provides a step-by-step guide to the Spring Boot ecosystem. You will learn to create fully functional web applications and RESTful APIs, connect to databases, implement security, and prepare your applications for deployment. You'll gain the practical skills needed to develop modern Java back-end services. What you'll learn: - Understand core Spring concepts like dependency injection and application configuration. - Build RESTful APIs from scratch to serve data to web and mobile clients. - Connect to databases and manage data persistence with Spring Data JPA. - Apply fundamental security practices to protect your application's endpoints. - Write effective unit and integration tests to ensure your code is reliable. - Package your application for deployment using build tools and containerization basics with Docker. - Create dynamic web pages using Thymeleaf for server-side rendering. The course begins with the fundamentals of the Spring framework and project setup, then progresses through building web layers, integrating data sources, and implementing testing and security. Each concept is explained through clear text and practical code examples. This course is designed for learners with some prior Java knowledge. No experience with the Spring framework is required to get started. Begin building modern Java applications today.
