With the advent of
containerization and the ease of cloud availability, developers are
required to explore new tools and frameworks in order to best utilize
these technologies. The Spring framework's core features can be used by
any Java application, but there are extensions to build web applications
on top of the Java EE platform.
In this course, you will
start by setting up the developer environment, and initialize a simple
application using Spring Boot. After that, you will look into different
developer tools, debug Spring applications, and log in to Spring. Then
you’ll dive into the Spring MVC, where you will develop reactive web
applications with Spring, and work with embedded servlet containers and
manage serialization with Protobuf, Avro, and Thrift.
Moving on, we’ll look into the various features of Spring Data, and how you can enhance data management using Spring Data JPA, MySQL, REST, NoSQL, and Cassandra. Finally, you will learn to add authentication and security to your web application using Spring security features, such as OAuth2 and JSON Web Token.
