Advanced Spring Development

The course Advanced Spring Development deals with the internals of Spring and Spring Boot.

Spring Internals

The course Advanced Spring Development starts with a discussion of the inner workings of Spring. It explains how Spring Intern makes extensive use of the Java Reflection API.

Annotations

Subsequently annotations are treated. The different types of annotations are discussed, such as marker and single value annotations. Meta annotations such as retention type and target, which determine for which constructs of the language and how long annotations are valid, are also covered.

Spring Boot

Then it is time for Spring Boot with which modern Spring applications are made. The architecture of Spring Boot with Spring boot starters, the CLI and the Spring Boot Actuator are treated.

Spring Data

Database access from Spring Boot applications is covered when dealing with Spring Data. Attention is paid to the principles of Spring Data for accessing various types of data sources.

Spring REST

And the Spring REST project is also part of the course program. Spring REST makes it possible to quickly create and access REST Services with Spring Boot.

Spring Batch

The Spring Batch project and its architecture is covered. Spring Batch has reusable functions that are essential when processing large numbers of records. The parts of Spring Batch such as Jobs, Steps, ItemReaders, ItemProcessors and ItemWriters are explained.

Spring JMS and Kafka

Finally messaging between Spring Boot applications through the Spring JMS and Spring Kafka projects is on the program as well and attention is paid to cloud applications with Spring Cloud.
