Spring Boot Tutorial For Beginners

Course details

Spring Boot has a lot of magic going for it. Developing Services with it is cool and fun.

Spring Boot makes it easy to create stand-alone, production-grade Spring based Applications that you can "just run". Most Spring Boot applications need very little Spring configuration.

In this course, you will learn the cool things about Spring Boot and Spring Boot Starter Projects. We will develop a basic REST Service to manage questions of a survey.

You will learn about Spring Boot step by step - in more than 25 steps. This course would be a perfect first step as an introduction to Spring Boot.

You will be using Spring Boot and get introduced to REST Services, Spring Security (Authentication and Authorization), Maven (dependencies management), Eclipse (IDE) and Tomcat Embedded Web Server. We will help you set up each one of these.

You will learn about

• Basics of Spring Boot
• Basics of Auto Configuration and Spring Boot Magic
• Spring Boot Starter Projects
• Spring Initializr
• Basic REST Services using Spring Boot Starter Web
• REST Service Content Negotiation with JSON and XML
• Embedded servlet containers : Tomcat, Jetty and Undertow
• Writing Unit and Integration tests using Spring Boot Starter Test
• Profiles and Dynamic Configuration with Spring Boot
• Spring Boot Data JPA
• Spring Boot Actuator
• Spring Security
• Spring Boot Developer Tools and LiveReload

Spring Boot makes it easy to create stand-alone, production-grade Spring based Applications that you can "just run". We take an opinionated view of the Spring platform and third-party libraries so you can get started with minimum fuss. Most Spring Boot applications need very little Spring configuration.

With Microservices, focus is shifting to getting started with developing web applications quickly. Spring Boot enables this.
