Rapid Spring Application Development with Spring Boot 2

Spring is one of the best frameworks in the market for developing web, enterprise, and cloud-ready applications and services. Spring Boot simplifies the building of complex apps dramatically by reducing the amount of boilerplate code, and by providing production-ready features and a simple deployment model. It is the fastest way to get a Spring application up-and-running with the fewest lines of code and the least configuration. If you're a Java developer who wants to build applications with Spring Boot 2, then go for this course.

This course is a step-by-step guide to building, testing, deploying, and monitoring your robust and scalable web applications using Spring MVC. You will learn to build microservices using Spring Boot 2 and see how microservices address common operational and infrastructural concerns. You will then build a payment system application from scratch using Spring Boot 2. You will also learn to secure your applications using Spring Security. Next, you will learn to create Docker containers to deploy your application into the cloud. Finally, you will leverage the additional features offered by Spring Boot Actuator to help you monitor and manage your applications and services when it's pushed to production.

Contents and Overview

This training program includes 3 complete courses, carefully chosen to give you the most comprehensive training possible.

The first course, Professional Spring Boot 2, transforms your skillset away from building single, large Java applications. You’ll benefit from understanding what microservices are, and the problems they pose for typical Java web services. You'll delve into the Spring Boot architecture and learn to use its components for your professional projects. Through practical examples, you'll build your own JSON RESTful web service, which is an essential tool for any Spring Boot developer. You'll also learn to use Mockito and JUnit to build an end-to-end integration testing suite. Lastly, you will use AWS and Docker to deploy your application to the cloud.

The second course, Hands-On Application Development with Spring Boot 2, provides a hands-on approach to building a payment system application from scratch using Spring Boot 2. You’ll begin by setting up Spring Boot together with Spring’s most powerful feature: Dependency Injection. You will then build a data access layer with Spring data and rework it to be highly performant using Spring data reactive. You’ll also learn about Spring rest and servlets and use it to expose resources via HTTP endpoints. Next, you’ll use Spring MVC to build an interface for the payment system. You’ll also be exposed to critical business metrics using MicroMeter library and Spring actuator with Prometheus library. Finally, you’ll learn to package your application into a Docker container and deploy your application into the cloud.

The third course, Troubleshooting Spring Boot 2.0, will start off by working with Spring Boot Actuator to debug and troubleshoot your application. Since logs can reveal a whole lot about your application and have been traditionally used to debug various types of software applications, this course will guide you through using the Log4j framework to keep a log of your application’s health and performance as you execute different operations. You’ll also get insights into debugging scenarios when you’re building a Spring Boot application using Maven and Gradle. Further on, you’ll work with debuggers available with popular IDEs to fix some common problems in your application. Toward the concluding parts of this course, you’ll learn the exception handling techniques in Spring applications and understand how to use them to troubleshoot when using Spring Boot.

By the end of the course, you will conquer the world of Java applications with Spring Boot 2 to develop, secure, deploy, and monitor your web applications from scratch.
