Video description

Building web application has been a challenge for many Java developers because of the complexities of their software requirements, leading to a bloated and unmanaged framework library repository and configurations. Spring Boot 2.x, a feature-rich platform built from the Spring 5.x framework, is created by to help developers solve their complex problems with fewer configurations but with strong dependency management features.

In this course, you will learn how to create various modules in a Human Resources Information System (HRIS) such as employee timesheets, leave management, and profiling. You will use Spring Boot 2.x to create your HRIS app while integrating Spring Web MVC, Spring WebFlux, Spring Data, RESTful web services, and clients. Above all, you'll use the latest version of Spring Security—5.0—to secure your apps and OAuth 2.x to implement an OpenID connection. You'll apply reactive programming with its Spring Web Flux and Project Reactor features. Finally, you will deploy your apps and services using some popular cloud and container platforms such as Spring Cloud Foundry, Docker, and AWS.

By the end of the course, you will be confident in implementing the core features of Spring Boot 2.x to create scalable, optimal, and robust enterprise web applications.

What You Will Learn

  • Create model view controller web applications with Spring Web MVC
  • Create RESTful web services and consume them in web pages with Spring Web MVC
  • Secure your applications and services with Spring Security
  • Include social login in your applications with OpenID Connect
  • Persist data with Spring Data and MongoDB
  • Build reactive applications and services with Spring Web Flux and Project Reactor
  • Build stream-based and reactive applications using Kotlin
  • Use Spring Cloud Config to configure your application
  • Creating API gateways using Spring Cloud
  • Deploy your web applications and services to a PaaS provider

Audience

This course is for developers who have no prior knowledge of Spring Boot but possess basic Java programming knowledge and want to develop applications and services with Spring Boot 2.x.
