This advanced course is designed for Java developers who need to learn how to use the Spring Framework to create well-designed, testable business applications in an agile manner. During this course, you will learn Spring's features and how to use them. You will also become familiar with the fundamental architectural issues you will need to be aware of when developing with the Spring framework. It is important to know how to use certain parts of the Spring framework, but even more important to be able to decide when to use them!
Topics Covered:
Work with the Spring Inversion of Control (IoC) Container
Effectively use JDBC , Hibernate and JPA for data access
Use JUnit, Spring, stubs and mocking frameworks to effectively implement automated unit and integration tests
Take advantage of Aspect-Oriented Programming (AOP) to keep code clean and maintainable
JMS, JMX, Spring Batch
And much more...
