Spring Boot for Beginners

• Java development experience
• Experience with Spring Framework (Spring Core, Spring MVC, Spring Security and Spring REST)
• Experience with Maven or Gradle

Audience

• Java web application developers

Spring Boot is a Java-based web application development framework that favors convention over configuration. Spring Boot allows developers to create stand-alone, production-grade applications that "just run", typically on an embedded instance of Tomcat, Jetty, or Undertow.

In this instructor-led, live training, participants learn the key features and architecture of Spring Boot, and its relationship to the underlying Spring framework. Ample opportunities for applying this knowledge and receiving feedback is provided by the instructor. Participants will carry out live, hands-on exercises on defining, configuring and deploying Spring applications.

By the end of the course participants will have the necessary knowledge and practice to rapidly deploy their own Spring application.

Format of the course

• Heavy emphasis on hands-on practice. Most of the concepts are learned through samples, exercises and hands-on development.
