This course takes you head first into the exciting world of Spring development!

It gets you up and running working with existing Spring applications, and gives you the confidence to start building your own. In this course we don't waste time going into the esoteric parts of the Spring Framework you'll never encounter. Instead, we focus on the stuff you need to get the job done and develop applications.

You'll get to know all the major parts of the core framework, such as:

• The Spring container and how it manages your beans for you and delivers a flexible runtime environment for applications
• The concept of dependency injection—how it works and how it is applied in Spring
• Inversion of Control—what it is and why it's so useful
• Spring property management and how to manage application properties and state
• Profiles in Spring and how they are used and applied
• Proxies and proxying—and how they work to magically do things such as making service methods transactional
• The various lifecycle and callback interfaces and events you need to know to integrate with and access lower-level components of the Spring container
• Spring JDBC and how to work with databases
• Working with Spring Aspects to apply Aspect Oriented Programming in the container
• Spring MVC and web application development with Spring

and much much more!
