- 1. Setup Routine for an Enterprise Spring Application
In a world where all our applications are connected to each other, we need to interact with social media to promote our products and complex systems, to provide great value for our users. Until recently, all this was a distant and complicated world for Java developers. With the birth of Spring Boot and the democratization of cloud platforms, we can now create amazing applications and make them available to everyone in record time, without spending a penny. The goal of Spring is to simplify enterprise application development.
In this learning path, we will build a useful web application from scratch. An application with a lot of neat features, such as internationalization, form validation, distributed sessions and caches, social login, multithreaded programming, and many more. It covers the most important concepts and features of Spring Framework and a few of its critical subprojects that are necessary for building modern web applications.
If this sounds like fun to you, let’s not waste any more time and get started!
Module 1, Spring Essentials, shows you how to develop your own full-fledged applications with Spring. It includes real-world examples that will also help you work with full-duplex real-time communication channels using WebSocket. You’ll get an insight into utilizing the power of Spring Expression Language in your applications for higher maintainability. It also covers the breadth and depth of Spring MVC, the WebSocket technology, Spring Data, and Spring Security with various authentication and authorization mechanisms.
Module 2, Spring MVC Cookbook, teaches to work on Spring MVC’s product design and further developing a responsive frontend. You will walk through the separation of concerns driven by the microservices principles. It also shows you how to configure your Entities to reflect your domain needs, and discover Spring Data repositories. Finally you will learn how to set up and organize different levels of automated-tests, including logging and monitoring.
Module 3, Mastering Spring MVC 4, takes you on a journey from developing your own web application to uploading it on the cloud. Starting with your own project, you will develop an advanced-level interactive application that can handle file uploads as well as complex URLs, you will dive into the inner workings of Spring MVC and the principles of modern web architectures. Finally you will see how to secure your application before releasing it on cloud.
