Developing Java Applications with Spring and Spring Boot: Practical Spring and Spring Boot solutions for building effective applications
About this ebook
Java developers wanting to build production-grade applications using the newest popular Spring tools for a rich end-to-end application development experience.
What You Will LearnGet to know the Spring Boot and understand how it makes creating robust applications extremely simpleUnderstand how Spring Data helps us add persistence in MongoDB and SQL databasesImplement a websocket to add interactive behaviors in your applicationsCreate powerful, production-grade applications and services with minimal fussUse custom metrics to track the number of messages published and consumedBuild anything from lightweight unit tests to fully running embedded web container integration testsLearn effective testing techniques by integrating Cucumber and SpockUse Hashicorp Consul and Netflix Eureka for dynamic Service DiscoveryIn DetailSpring Framework has become the most popular framework for Java development. It not only simplifies software development but also improves developer productivity. This book covers effective ways to develop robust applications in Java using Spring.
The course is up made of three modules, each one having a take-away relating to building end-to-end java applications. The first module takes the approach of learning Spring frameworks by building applications.You will learn to build APIs and integrate them with popular fraemworks suh as AngularJS, Spring WebFlux, and Spring Data. You will also learn to build microservices using Spring's support for Kotlin. You will learn about the Reactive paradigm in the Spring architecture using Project Reactor. In the second module, after getting hands-on with Spring, you will learn about the most popular tool in the Spring ecosystem-Spring Boot. You will learn to build applications with Spring Boot, bundle them, and deploy them on the cloud. After learning to build applications with Spring Boot, you will be able to use various tests that are an important part of application development. We also cover the important developer tools such as AMQP messaging, websockets, security, and more. This will give you a good functional understanding of scalable development in the Spring ecosystem with Spring Boot. In the third and final module, you will tackle the most important challenges in Java application development with Spring Boot using practical recipes. Including recipes for testing, deployment, monitoring, and securing your applications. This module will also address the functional and technical requirements for building enterprise applications.
By the end of the course you will be comfortable with using Spring and Spring Boot to develop Java applications and will have mastered the intricacies of production-grade applications.
Style and approachA simple step-by-step guide with practical examples to help you develop and deploy Spring and Spring Boot applications in the real-world.

Greg has worked since 1997 as a software engineer at Harris Corporation, always seeking the right tool for the job. Since 2002, Greg has been part of the senior software team working on Harris' $3.5 billion FAA telco program, architecting mission-critical enterprise apps while managing a software team. He provides after hours support and 2nd-level engineering to support the nation-wide telco network and is no stranger to midnight failures and software triage. In 2010, Greg joined the SpringSource division of VMware.Being a test-bitten script junky, Greg has used JUnit, TestNG, JMock, FEST, PyUnit, and pMock testing frameworks, along with other agile practices to produce top-quality code.He has worked with Java, Spring, Spring Security, AspectJ, and Jython technologies and also developed sophisticated scripts for *nix and Windows platforms. Being a wiki evangelist, he also deployed a LAMP-based wiki website to provide finger-tip knowledge to users.In 2006, Greg created the Spring Python project. The Spring Framework provided many useful features, and he wanted those same features available when working with Python.Greg completed a master's degree in Computer Engineering at Auburn University, and lives in the United States with his family.
