What you'll learn

Managing Java dependencies manually often leads to tightly coupled code that's difficult to test and maintain. In this course, Spring Certified Professional: Introduction to Spring and Core Configuration, you’ll learn to effectively manage application components using Spring's core container and foundational Java configuration techniques. First, you’ll explore the fundamental concepts of Spring, including Inversion of Control (IoC), Dependency Injection (DI), and the role of the Application Context and beans. Next, you’ll discover how to define Spring beans using @Configuration and @Bean annotations, and access them programmatically from the Application Context. Finally, you’ll learn how to organize your configurations effectively across multiple Java files using @Import. When you’re finished with this course, you’ll have the skills and knowledge of core Spring principles and basic Java configuration needed to effectively manage application components and begin your journey towards Spring certification.
