In this course, you will learn how to use Spring in conjunction with the various technologies used in and supporting rich web interfaces. This course covers a wide spectrum of topics, which provides you with a basic understanding of those technologies and resources prior to taking this class.

The Spring framework is an application framework that provides a lightweight container that supports the creation of simple-to-complex components in a non-invasive fashion. Spring's flexibility and transparency is congruent and supportive of incremental development and testing. The framework's structure supports the layering of functionality such as persistence, transactions, view-oriented frameworks, and enterprise systems and capabilities. Spring's Aspect-Oriented Programming (AOP) framework enables developers to declaratively apply common features and capabilities across data types in a transparent fashion.

As an enabler for rich web interfaces, the Spring framework represents a significant step forward. If you want to deliver a web application within the Spring framework, you'll find this course essential.
