Spring Boot Basics [Java]
Learn the fundamentals of Java while being introduced to a Spring Boot framework and associated integrations and plugins.
Lesson 1
Introduction to Spring Boot
In this lesson, you will meet your instructor, learn about the prerequisites, and discuss what web development is and how it has been accomplished.
Lesson 2
Web Development in Java
In this lesson, we're going to take a look at the structure of web applications in Java, Spring's role in web development, and the use of Maven as a dependency management tool.
Lesson 3
Spring Boot Basics for Web Development
In this lesson, we'll be learning how Spring framework operates and how to integrate with it to build flexible, maintainable application components.
Lesson 4
Spring MVC and Thymeleaf
In this lesson, we're going to learn how to build web sites with Spring! We'll be using Spring MVC and Thymeleaf.
Lesson 5
Data Persistence & Security
In this lesson, we will explore connecting our Spring Boot applications to SQL databases and the benefits of persistent data. We'll be using MyBatis and Spring Security!
Lesson 6
Testing
In this lesson, you'll learn how to use Selenium, write tests with JUnit, and integrate Selenium in order to test complex, multi-action user stories.

Web Services and APIs
Explore the differences between web services, APIs, and microservices. Develop REST and GraphQL APIs, and learn how to secure, consume, document, and test those APIs and web services.
Lesson 1
Overview
First, meet your instructor Kesha and learn about the course. Then, learn a brief overview of web services and how they compare to APIs and microservices.
Lesson 2
REST APIs
Learn how to build RESTful APIs with Spring Boot, first by learning about the REST architecture, then how to use annotations with REST controllers in Spring Boot.
Lesson 3
GraphQL APIs
Dive into GraphQL, a query language for APIs. GraphQL lets calling clients limit the data response to just what is needed.
Lesson 4
Microservices
Find out how Microservices improve on the older monolithic application structure, including how to use Eureka and Spring Data REST for easy development and deployment.
Lesson 5
Security
Security is key to keeping your information safe - here, you'll learn how to add security to your APIs to keep out unwanted eyes and avoid undesired changes.
Lesson 6
Consuming SOAP & REST
Enable the consumption of SOAP and REST APIs within your own API to further speed up development time and avoid reinventing the wheel.
Lesson 7
Documentation
Learn about the importance of documentation and easily implement it with the use of Swagger within your code.
Lesson 8
Unit & Integration Tests
Build unit and integration tests to give you confidence your application continues to work as intended after making new changes to your code.
Lesson 9 • Project
Build the Backend System for a Car Website
In this project, you'll create a REST API to store vehicle data, while consuming information regarding location and pricing data from external resources. Also, you'll document and test your API!
Course 4 • 4 weeks
Data Stores & Persistence
Build applications that read and write to relational databases using both the Java Persistence API (JPA) and SQL. Use standard design patterns to make your persistence layer easy to test and integrate with a Spring Boot application.
Lesson 1
Introduction to Data Stores & Persistence
An introduction to the Data Stores & Persistence course. You will learn about persisting data in web-based Java applications.
Lesson 2
Data in Multitier Architecture
This lesson discusses Entity design and the relationship between data in the various layers of your application.
Lesson 3
Java Persistence API (JPA)
We'll be looking at using JPA to manage the state of our Entities for us. We'll learn about the concept of a Persistence Context and using an Entity Manager to change the state of our Entities.
Lesson 4
Connecting To Data Sources
In this lesson, you'll set up an external database, connect to external databases, configure and initialize multiple data sources, and configure data sources for unit tests.
Lesson 5
Persistence Without JPA
In this lesson, we'll be covering initialization with SQL, Data Objects vs. Entities, Data Access Objects (DAOs), JdbcTemplate, and Performance.

Great learning experience. Udacity provides a self-paced learning experience. It is not like spoon-feeding every concept. we have to research our own and find out. Thats really improve our knowledge rather than listening to videos.

Definitly a very allround program. Did ran into a lot of walls of the Spring Boot framework, mostly in the first project. Which was, tbh, utterly annoying. Not all the problems could easily be solved by reading material (finding the right material was harder then it looked). Mostly it was a situation were Spring Boot would explain how to do a scenario but the scenario would not cover cases that did not directly fit. This happened too many times in the first project, still I am left with many question marks about Spring Boot. Thinking that it might be a bit broken from the inside. But the course was great!
