• Configure Spring Container and manage Spring beans using XML and Annotation
• Practice Spring AOP concepts such as Aspect, Advice, Pointcut, and Introduction
• Integrate bean validation and custom validation
• Use error handling and exception resolving
• Get to grips with REST-based web service development and Ajax
• Use Spring Boot to develop microservices
• Find out how to avoid common pitfalls when developing microservices
• Get familiar with end-to-end microservices written in Spring Framework and Spring Boot

In Detail

This carefully designed course aims to get you started with Spring, the most widely adopted Java framework, and then goes on to more advanced topics such as building microservices using Spring Boot within Spring. With additional coverage of popular web frameworks such as Struts, WebWork, Java Server Faces, Tapestry, Docker, and Mesos, you'll have all the skills and expertise you need to build great applications.

Starting with the Spring Framework architecture and setting up the key components of the Spring Application Development Environment, you will learn how to configure Spring Container and manage Spring beans using XML and Annotation. Next, you will delve into Spring MVC, which will help you build flexible and loosely coupled web applications. You'll also get to grips with testing applications for reliability. Moving on, this course will help you implement the microservice architecture in Spring Framework, Spring Boot, and Spring Cloud. Written to the latest specifications of Spring, this book will help you build modern, Internet-scale Java applications in no time.
