Course Description

This course enables the experienced Java developer to use the Spring Application Framework to create simple and complex Web applications. Spring is a far-reaching framework that aims to facilitate all sorts of Java development, including every level of multi-tier distributed systems. Here we focus on the Core and MVC modules, with a lighter (but not dismissive) touch on persistence through DAO and ORM modules.
 
Target Student:
Programmers who need to design and develop Java for the web using the Spring Framework.
Prerequisites:
  • Java Programming experience
  • Web Programming experience
  • A basic knowledge of XML
Delivery Method: Instructor led, group-paced, classroom-delivery learning model with structured hands-on activities.
The training course combines lectures with practical exercises that help the delegates to put what they have learned on the training course into practice. The exercises specifically build on what has been recently taught and are built up as the training course progresses.
