Course Description

Have you ever wanted to understand the part of the web you don't see; where the real logic, data processing, and user management happens?
Then you're in the right hands!
But you might ask — why Spring Boot?
Well, Spring Boot is one of the most powerful and widely-used frameworks for building modern Java-based web applications. It's trusted by companies around the world to create everything from simple REST APIs to large-scale production-ready systems.
If you want to become a real backend developer, Spring Boot is not optional — it’s essential.
Spring Boot Web Applications: The Definitive Guide is designed for anyone who wants to master backend development — whether you're just starting out or looking to solidify your skills with a structured, hands-on course. This course doesn't just teach you Spring Boot in theory. You’ll build, refactor, optimize, secure, and test real applications — exactly the way it’s done in the industry. And don’t worry — if you’re not 100% confident in Java or databases, I've got you covered. The course includes optional refresher sections covering:

Java fundamentals
JSON
SQL & database basics

So you can follow along with confidence — even if you’re not coming in as a Java expert.
By the end of this course, you’ll be able to:

Build and structure Spring Boot applications from scratch
Design clean, scalable REST APIs
Connect Spring Boot to databases using JPA & Hibernate
Work confidently with DTOs, Entities, Repositories, and Services
Handle validation, errors, and HTTP status codes professionally
Implement pagination, sorting, lazy loading, and performance optimizations
Write unit tests and integration tests using JUnit, Mockito, and H2
Improve performance using caching strategies with auto-eviction
Secure your APIs using Spring Security and JWT authentication
Test secured endpoints and handle global security exceptions
Use professional tools like Postman, Swagger, and IntelliJ
Apply clean code practices and modern Spring Boot utilities
Integrate AI-powered features for intelligent task prioritization

N.B.:

By the end of this course, you'll have built fully functional, secure, and testable web applications — and you'll have a strong foundation to apply for backend developer roles or level up in your career.
If you're serious about becoming a backend developer, mastering Spring Boot is a must.

If you’re serious about becoming a backend developer, mastering Spring Boot is a must.
So join me — and let’s build professional-grade Spring Boot web applications, together.
See you in the course.
