Learn rapid web development at enterprise scale with Spring through the highly popular Spring Boot framework.

Learn how to get started with Spring Boot 2.x, a powerful framework that can help you build web applications quickly, using less code. The Java-based programs you build in Spring Boot "just run": they resolve their own dependencies and create containers for running code in any environment. Learn how to use Spring Boot to build your projects in this course with software architect and Spring developer Frank Moley. Frank shows how to initialize, containerize, and run Spring Boot web apps and CLI apps, and use the library of common starter projects to fill business-critical needs: data, messaging, security, and more. Plus, find how to extend Spring Boot by creating your own starters and use the Actuator module's HTTP endpoints to monitor and manage your apps.

Introduces object-oriented terms like abstraction and inheritance and shows how to define requirements and use cases and create a conceptual model of your application.

Turbocharge your back-end Java RESTful API development with Spring Boot and Spring Data technologies. This course is intended for experienced Java developers who want to rapidly build microservices that connect with relational databases via the Java Persistence API (JPA). Here, Mary Ellen Bowman walks you through a step-by-step process for building a microservice with an exposed RESTful API featuring HATEOAS, paging, and sorting. Learn about technologies such as Spring Boot, Spring Data JPA, and Spring Data REST, and see how they all come together into smart and elegant solutions. To wrap up, Mary Ellen guides developers in migrating a microservice to a MongoDB data source.

Build on the foundational knowledge you have of the Spring framework. Learn how to extend, refine, harden, test, and "dockerize" your Spring Boot microservices, and turn them into production-ready applications. Instructor Mary Ellen Bowman teaches the intermediate skills you need to build professional-grade programs, emphasizing standards for quality, security, persistence, and deployment. She shows how to link to external databases, build secure APIs, use unit and integration testing to uncover application flaws during development, and configure scalable deployment options with Docker containers.

Dive deep into Spring MVC, an essential web framework for Java developers who work on enterprise-level projects. Throughout this practical course, instructor Ketkee Aryamane steps through fundamental aspects of this framework, where she explains controllers, models, and views in Spring MVC. She also discusses the benefits of learning Spring MVC; explores exception handling, themes, implementing asynchronous execution flows, and extending your Spring MVC application to serve REST requests; and provides exercises that can help you strengthen your understanding of key concepts. Upon completing this course, you'll have the knowledge you need to build robust MVC web applications with Spring MVC.

Coding to databases—which often involves the use of boilerplate code that's difficult to maintain and debug—can be tedious work. Upgrading applications to a different kind of data storage is similarly challenging, as it usually involves massive code rewrites. Spring Data addresses these issues by abstracting data store interactions into a common repository API and eliminating boilerplate code. In this course, learn how to easily implement JPA-based repositories using Spring Data JPA. Mary Ellen Bowman describes the Spring Data umbrella project, and helps you understand JPA for object-relational mapping. She also covers querying, and dives into other Spring Data Commons features such as QueryDSL and auditing.

Developers sometimes struggle to see their apps as attackers do. They don't automatically recognize the vulnerabilities. That is where frameworks like Spring Security come in. Spring Security offers built-in authentication and authorization features for securing your apps and services, and easy ways to extend the framework to maximize its value. Join security architect Frank Moley, as he shows how to secure your Java projects with Spring Security, LDAP, Active Directory, and WebFlux. Plus, learn how to use Spring Security to set up your own OAuth servers to secure your apps and services.

Pairing a popular front-end framework with a full-featured back-end solution is a natural next step for developers who want to go “full stack”: building interfaces and the code that powers them. In this course, instructor Emmanuel Henri explains how to get a full-stack app up and running with React and Spring. He walks you through a complete sample project: a REST API with a form-based interface. Along the way, you can learn how to set up the project, define Spring models, create endpoints, and then build an interface from React components. Once you’ve completed the training, you can use the same techniques and technologies to build your own full-stack JavaScript and Spring applications.
