Video description

Spring is one of the most widely used frameworks in the industry. Whether you are an experienced developer or a complete beginner, this course will get you up to speed with the basics of Spring Boot in an easy and systematic way.

You will start this course by exploring the problems with traditional Spring application development. You will then understand how easy it is to create and deploy an application using Spring Boot. In the next few sections, you will discover how Spring Boot can help you auto-configure a Spring project.

Later, the course will take you through everything from enabling health metrics for applications to customizing health metrics endpoints with your own information. You will also delve into Spring security and database caching. Finally, you will get your hands dirty with unit testing with MockMvc and learn about the Spring JMS in detail.

By the end of this course, you will be well-versed with the fundamentals of Spring Boot and have gained hands-on experience of creating Spring Boot applications from scratch.
