The Spring framework is the most popular Java framework ever. It continues to evolve with changing architectures. Spring Boot is one of the most popular Spring projects and is the most used Java framework to develop RESTful services and microservices. Preparing for a Spring Interview is tricky. There are a wide variety of Spring modules and Spring projects that you need to recollect and be prepared to answer questions on. You'll need to get a good understanding of the new features of Spring and have a firm grasp of the concepts you've implemented in your projects. This course helps you prepare for Spring interviews with code examples and over 200+ questions and answers. This course starts with the Spring Application Framework in detail. Next, you will learn about the Spring MVC framework. Later, you will learn about Spring Boot goals, features and various concepts such as auto configuration, starter projects, and so on. In this section, you will learn about Spring Data, Spring JDBC and JPA in detail. After that, you will look at unit and integration testing in Spring. Following that, you will learn about AOP in Spring and SOAP web services in detail. Finally, you will learn about RESTful web services in detail. By the end of this course, you will get a good refresher on Spring concepts and syntax and become confident before the interviews.
