Introducing Spring Framework

Part I
Spring Framework Basics
The Spring Framework provides a programming and configuration model for creating Java-based enterprise
applications. In Part I, you will learn all the basics of this framework.
You will begin by creating your very first Spring application and get a sneak peek at one of the newest
technologies, Spring Boot. You’ll see how Spring Boot will speed up your development. You will then start
working with classes and their dependencies, and you’ll see how they interact with each other. Then you will
apply different configurations, find their differences and apply them to the Spring Framework.
After that you’ll work with bean scopes and discover how the Spring container instantiates the classes
depending on the scope of your choice. Also you will work with collections. You will find out how collections
can interact with your Spring application. You’ll be using resource files that will help you to have an external
configuration without having to recompile your code.
Finally, you will use the Testing module from Spring to easily create unit and integration tests.
