Master the essentials of Spring MVC and Spring Boot in this comprehensive course designed to take your web application development skills to the next level. You'll explore dependency injection, the MVC architecture, and the robust features of Spring Boot, all while working through hands-on projects. By the end, you'll have a complete understanding of building scalable and secure web applications with Spring technologies.
The course begins with an in-depth look at Spring MVC fundamentals, including setting up your environment, understanding the request handling process, and utilizing key annotations effectively. You’ll then dive into Spring Boot, where you’ll create projects, integrate logic using template engines, and deploy applications using JARs and WARs. Advanced topics such as interceptors, exception handling, Spring JDBC, Hibernate, and Spring Data JPA are covered with practical examples and code walkthroughs. You'll also explore Spring Security and learn how to implement authentication, authorization, and encryption for robust web applications. Finally, you’ll apply all your skills to build an end-to-end application and learn about advanced tools like Spring Boot Actuator and Devtools. This course is ideal for developers looking to expand their expertise in Java-based web development. A basic understanding of Java and web technologies is recommended. Whether you're a beginner or an intermediate learner, this course offers a structured and hands-on learning experience to help you succeed.
In this module, we will explore the fundamentals of dependency injection, starting with an understanding of tight coupling in traditional software design. You will learn how dependency injection solves this problem, particularly when implemented with the Spring Framework, enabling flexible and maintainable code.
