About this course
Spring MVC and Spring Boot give Java teams a consistent way to build applications with less manual setup and fewer integration issues. Spring MVC provides a clear structure for web applications. Spring Boot reduces configuration overhead and helps teams create production‑ready applications quickly and reliably.
This course is for Java developers who have completed Spring Core. It focuses on the Spring features that reduce boilerplate code, standardise application structure, and make it easier to support and extend existing systems.
Developers learn how to design controllers, handle data flow, expose REST endpoints, and use Spring Boot to manage configuration and deployment with less effort and fewer errors.
