This course, written by Nick Todd, the author of JavaServer Pages 2.0 Developers Handbook from Sams Publishing, teaches you how to create enterprise applications using the latest versions of the very popular Spring framework. The training course can be delivered using either Visual Studio Code, IntelliJ or Eclipse, and Maven or Gradle as the core development and build environments. In addition to teaching all the major aspects of Spring, the course also covers best practice integration between Spring and other technologies such as databases, cloud environments, docker etc. Various modules can be dropped / replaced, for example, NoSQL or SQL based back ends, and optional modules on SpringMVC for Thymeleaf can also be included if desired.

Layout

This training course combines lectures with practical exercises that help the delegates to put what they have learned on the training course into practice. The exercises specifically build on what has been recently taught and are built up as the training course progresses.
