WEEK 1
What is Spring?
Identify the motivation for the Spring Framework in Enterprise Application Development, Implement a Spring Inversion of Control Container and use Dependency Injection techniques using XML meta-data configurations

WEEK 2
Annotations and Java Config
Achieve Spring ApplicationContext configuration using Spring and Javax Annotations and Java Configuration Classes

WEEK 3
Externalize Configuration
Utilize Expressions in Spring Configurations by either Expression Language for literal injection or Spring Expression Language (SPEL) for a more dynamic installation. Provide Conditionals for selective inclusion of beans in a configuration.
