So, if you’re experienced Java developer and want to learn about the Spring Framework, book the course and, in four days’ time, you will be able to create three-tiered Spring 3 web application.

The course outline is

Anatomy of Spring application

Why Spring and how does Spring fit into your application.

What does Spring do?

Dependency injection and AOP; we explain the dependency injection concepts, bean lifecycle, we sprinkle it with the Spring annotations, including SPEL! We then press on with aspect-oriented programming, showing AOP support in the Spring Framework.

The workers

Understand how Spring fits into the data access and middle tiers. We go from JDBC to Hibernate and sprinkle it with a bit of Spring transaction management.

The web

Overview of modern web applications; understanding how Spring’s MVC support makes web programming really easy and efficient. We wrap up with REST support!

The goodies

If there is still some time left at the end of the course, we can include large-scale data processing (using JDBC batching and job monitoring); after which, we show that Spring Batch 2.0 offers the solution out of the box!
