AM-500: Spring QuickStart: Getting started with Spring

WorkShop Overview

Produced by the ArcMind team. After completing this course you will have the skills to design and build Spring-based applications. Onsite training available.

Length

2 day

Course Abstract:

Spring makes JEE development easier. Spring is a JEE framework that simplifies commons tasks and encourages good design based on programming to interfaces. Springs makes your application easier to configure and reduces the need for many J2EE design patterns (quite a few J2EE design patterns are really glorified hacks that clutter your code base). Spring puts the OO design back into your J2EE application. (To learn more about the Spring framework see the paper Spring is Good!)

This course is focused around labs. All lessons prepare the students to work on the labs. Our lab books are extensive.

The lesson book and the lab book are in full color. Color syntax highlighting makes code listing easier to read.

This is our highest rated course.
