Introduction to Spring Boot

Overview

Learn how to quickly build standalone applications and services in Java using the Spring Boot framework designed to remove the need for software engineers to write boilerplate code and instead enabling them to focus on the specific requirements of their application with minimum fuss and configuration.

Course Details

This course provides a hands-on and in-depth exploration of the industry-standard Spring Boot framework with which to build production-grade applications in Java whilst removing the need to write boilerplate code and with minimum fuss and configuration. This course follows on from our Introduction to Java, Object Oriented Programming, Object Mapping and Test Driven Development courses respectively, and enables experienced senior softwware engineers to build production-grade applications seamlessly integrated with persistent SQL and NoSQL distributed data stores, testing frameworks, logging frameworks and security frameworks.
