Spring Boot: Developing Enterprise-Grade Java Applications

Learn the ins and outs of Spring Boot in this hands-on training

Description

In this training you start with the Spring Framework, a framework for building enterprise applications. In about 1 day you will get to know the relevant concepts of the Spring Framework, which you will then take to Spring Boot, which is built on top of the Spring Framework.

Through the structure of this training, you will learn to understand the Dependency Injection mechanism and the magic behind Spring Boot's AutoConfiguration. Many of the most important Spring Boot modules are discussed and after this training you will have a good idea of ??what Spring Boot has to offer.

In this training you will also work with assignments that you develop with Spring Boot. These assignments have a Test Driven Development (TDD) approach. In this way you not only gain hands-on experience with Spring Boot, but also with the test functionality available in Spring Boot.

Learning Goals

• Compare Spring Framework to other comparable frameworks like JEE, Quarkus and Micronaut. [Evaluate]
• Implement inversion of control with dependency injection using the appropriate configuration, form and scope. [Apply]
• Explain how autoconfiguration in Spring Boot works. [Understand]
• Construct a Spring Boot application by leveraging (custom) Spring Boot starters and autoconfiguration. [Apply]
• Recommend the use of either Spring Boot or Classic Spring for a given context, based on their differences. [Evaluate]
• Produce a Spring Boot application that connects to a database, using JDBC templates. [Apply]
• Employ the Spring Data JPA API and the no-code repositories to communicate with a database. [Apply]
• Apply different ways of external configuration in a Spring Boot application. [Apply]
• Provide unit tests that use mocks as injected beans, as well as integration tests for a Spring Boot database application. [Apply]
• Use the transaction API in a Spring Boot application in order to achieve isolated, concurrent modifications. [Apply]
• Construct a Spring Boot application with the ability to both consume a RESTful endpoint and produce one that is documented and implements each RESTful property. [Apply]
