Part 2 Implementation

In part 2, you’ll learn to implement apps using Spring capabilities you’ll often need in the real world. We’ll start by discussing web apps. Further, you’ll learn how to exchange data between apps and work with persisted data. You’ll find that Spring makes this straightforward and easy. We’ll end the book with writing unit and integration tests for the functionalities you implement in your Spring apps.

The skills you’ll learn in part 2 rely on understanding the foundation that supports Spring: the Spring context and aspects. You can start directly with part 2 if you already know how Spring context and aspects work and you’re eager to implement apps that use Spring capabilities. However, if you are not yet confident with ...
