Spring 6 and Spring Boot 3

Learn how to use the big upgrade to the Spring framework included in version 6 and Spring Boot 3. The new versions use Java 17+ features (records, sealed classes and interfaces, local variable type inference, switch expressions, pattern matching, and more) and the latest Jakarta EE libraries to build state-of-the-art applications and services.

This course will teach you how to use the latest capabilities in Java and Jakarta EE as part of a Spring applications. During the course you'll build RESTful web services that combine Spring MVC for the controllers and views, Spring Boot for initialization and autoconfiguration, and Spring Data JPA for persistence. You'll also use the validation APIs to enforce constraints on data, create executable jar files as your deployable artifacts, and use the GraalVM native image builder to create native executables for your platform.
