1. Introduction to Spring Boot:

  • What is Spring Boot?Evolution of the Spring framework.
  • Goals and advantages of Spring Boot ( автоconfiguration, opinionated defaults, embedded servers).
  • Spring Boot vs. Spring Framework.
  • Setting up the Development Environment:Installing Java Development Kit (JDK).
  • Installing an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) like IntelliJ IDEA, Eclipse, or VS Code.
  • Using build tools: Maven or Gradle.
  • Using Spring Initializr to generate a new project.

2. Core Spring Boot Features:

  • Auto-configuration:How Spring Boot automatically configures your application based on dependencies.
  • Understanding @EnableAutoConfiguration.
  • Examining auto-configuration reports.
  • Spring Boot Starters:What are starter dependencies and how they simplify dependency management.
  • Common starters (e.g., spring-boot-starter-web, spring-boot-starter-data-jpa, spring-boot-starter-test).
  • Spring Boot CLI (Optional but helpful):Introduction to the command-line interface for quickly building Spring applications.
  • Actuator:Monitoring and managing your application in production.
  • Exposing endpoints (health, info, metrics, etc.).
  • Securing actuator endpoints.

3. Spring Dependency Injection and IoC Container (Brief Review/Context):

  • What is Dependency Injection?
  • The Inversion of Control (IoC) Container.
  • Beans and the Application Context.
  • @Autowired annotation.
  • Component Scanning.

4. Building Web Applications with Spring Boot:

  • Spring MVC (Model-View-Controller):Handling HTTP requests.
  • @RestController and @Controller annotations.
  • @RequestMapping and HTTP method mappings (@GetMapping, @PostMapping, etc.).
  • Request parameters and path variables.
  • Handling request body (@RequestBody).
  • Returning responses (@ResponseBody, ResponseEntity).
  • Templating Engines (Optional but common):Using Thymeleaf, FreeMarker, or JSP.
  • Handling Form Submissions and Data Validation.
  • Serving Static Content.

5. Working with Data:

  • Spring Data JPA:Introduction to JPA and ORM.
  • Configuring data sources.
  • Defining Entities.
  • Using Repositories (JpaRepository).
  • Basic CRUD operations.
  • Defining custom queries.
  • Working with Databases:Configuring different databases (H2 for in-memory, PostgreSQL, MySQL, etc.).
  • Database initialization (schema.sql, data.sql).
  • Database migration tools (Flyway, Liquibase - introduction).
  • Other Data Access Options (Briefly):JDBC Template.
  • Spring Data JDBC.
  • Spring Data MongoDB, etc.

6. RESTful Web Services:

  • Designing RESTful APIs.
  • Implementing REST endpoints with Spring Boot.
  • Content Negotiation (JSON, XML).
  • Versioning APIs.
  • Error Handling in REST APIs.

7. Exception Handling:

  • Handling exceptions globally using @ControllerAdvice and @ExceptionHandler.
  • Customizing error responses.

8. Configuration and Properties:

  • Using application.properties or application.yml for configuration.
  • Defining custom properties.
  • Using @Value to inject properties.
  • Profile-specific properties.
  • Externalized Configuration.

9. Testing Spring Boot Applications:

  • Unit Testing (with JUnit/Mockito):Testing individual components.
  • Integration Testing (with Spring Boot Test):Testing the interaction between components.
  • Using @SpringBootTest.
  • Testing REST endpoints (TestRestTemplate, MockMvc).
  • Database Testing.

10. Security (Introduction):

  • Spring Security Basics (Optional for a beginner course, but important):Configuring basic authentication.
  • In-memory authentication.
  • Database authentication.
  • Securing web endpoints.

11. Building Microservices with Spring Boot (Introduction):

  • Concepts of Microservices.
  • Using Spring Boot to build independent services.
  • Inter-service communication (RestTemplate, WebClient, Feign Client - introduction).
  • Service Discovery (e.g., Eureka, Consul - introduction).
  • API Gateways (e.g., Spring Cloud Gateway - introduction).

12. Deployment:

  • Packaging Spring Boot applications (JARs and WARs).
  • Running executable JARs.
  • Deploying to application servers (if necessary).
  • Containerization (Docker - introduction).
  • Deployment to cloud platforms (e.g., Heroku, AWS, Azure - brief overview).

13. Best Practices and Advanced Topics (Time Permitting):

  • Logging with Spring Boot (Logback, SLF4j).
  • Using Profiles for different environments.
  • Command-Line Runners and Application Runners.
  • Task Scheduling (@Scheduled).
  • Asynchronous Programming (@Async).
  • Aspect-Oriented Programming (AOP) with Spring.
