Overview

Core Spring Course Overview

The Spring Framework is the leading Java EE solution for enterprise software.

This course covers Spring from Version 4 upwards, currently delivered using Version 5. It comprises sessions dealing with Dependency Injection (DI); Aspect Oriented Programming, (AOP); Spring Web including MVC, REST, and WebSocket; Spring Data including JDBC, ORM, and Transaction Management; Spring Security; and Spring Boot. It also includes an introduction to Reactive Programming, Spring WebFlux, and Spring Cloud.

Exercises and examples are used throughout the course to give practical hands-on experience with the techniques covered.

The delegate will learn and acquire skills as follows:

  • Obtaining Spring Beans using DI
  • Implementing cross-cutting concerns using AOP
  • Building a Spring MVC web app
  • Building a REST API with Spring MVC
  • Building a WebSocket service
  • Using a JDBC Template
  • Integrating a Spring app with Hibernate and JPA
  • Transaction Management
  • User authentication
  • URL and method-level authorization
  • Building a simple Spring Boot app

Who will the Course Benefit?

The Core Spring course will benefit Java developers who are new to Spring and want to develop large and complex enterprise-level applications.

Course Objectives

This course aims to provide the delegate with the knowledge to be able to develop (or contribute to the development of) a Spring web app which exposes a RESTful API and that both reads and writes data to/from persistent storage. The web app should be secure insofar as it authenticates users, and restricts access. The delegate should also be aware of Spring Boot, Reactive Programming, Spring WebFlux, and Spring Cloud.

Requirements

Delegates attending this course should be competent Java developers able to build simple applications that exploit APIs including Collections, IO, and JDBC. Delegates would also benefit from having some previous experience with Servlets and JSP (or equivalent technology).

This knowledge can be obtained by attendance on the pre-requisite Java Programming 2 and Developing Applications with Java EE courses.

Pre-Requisite Courses

  • Java Programming 2
  • Developing Applications with Java EE

Follow-On Courses

  • Angular Development
  • React

FAQs

Study method describes the format in which the course will be delivered. At Reed Courses, courses are delivered in a number of ways, including online courses, where the course content can be accessed online remotely, and classroom courses, where courses are delivered in person at a classroom venue.

CPD stands for Continuing Professional Development. If you work in certain professions or for certain companies, your employer may require you to complete a number of CPD hours or points, per year. You can find a range of CPD courses on Reed Courses, many of which can be completed online.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
