Transitioning into the second module, we introduce you to Spring and Spring Boot, the pillars of Java application development. We focus on the creation of basic Spring applications, Spring MVC-based web applications, and the overall architecture of Spring Boot.
In the third module, we tackle RESTful web services using Spring Boot, guiding you through the creation of these services, the implementation of CRUD operations for resources, and the application of Spring Security for securing these services.
By the end of this course, participants will be capable of designing and implementing effective data structures and crafting backend solutions using Java. This will set the path toward a promising career in software development.
This course is part of the Java FullStack Developer Specialization.

What you'll learn

Acquire proficiency in Java's data structures. Learn to manipulate data using arrays, String class, and Collections Framework.
Understand StringBuilder/StringBuffer classes. Use Collections interfaces like ArrayList, LinkedList, HashMap for data management.
Learn Spring & Spring Boot, develop Spring applications with dependency, create web apps using Spring MVC, and understand Spring Boot architecture.
Master secure RESTful web service creation with Spring Boot. Execute CRUD operations and use Spring Security for web service protection.
