Course Overview
This course is recommended if you have a good working knowledge of Spring basics but are new to Spring Boot.
Spring Boot takes an opinionated view of building Spring applications and gets you up and running as quickly as possible.
This 3-day course offers experience with Spring Boot and its major features, including auto-configuration, Spring Boot testing enhancements, and more.
Please note that this course is a subset of the material in our 5-day Professional Spring Boot with JPA course – there is no need to take both courses.
