Though extremely powerful, Java application development has been considered by some to be overly complex.
Java EE development offers even more capability, but with an even higher learning curve. Java EE often requires the
presence of an application server, which may be overkill for many projects.
Enter Spring: this framework makes application development simpler, faster, and better designed.
This course will expose students to new ways of designing systems, levering concepts such as dependency injection,
which is gaining major traction as the preferred way to design flexible architectures through lightweight containers such as Spring.
Learn how this technology increases developer productivity and promotes flexible design by providing boilerplate
infrastructure support of a system. This approach allows developers to concentrate on what's really important: the business logic
of their code. Not only does Spring make things easier, but it also provides many of the features and capabilities previously
only available within an application server environment. Spring also prides itself on integrating with
other technologies — not competing with them — and these integration points are demonstrated to students throughout
the course in both lecture as well as exercises.
Coreservlets.com normally runs
on-site J2EE and Ajax training courses at customer locations.
This is easier administratively, is better for clients since the topics can be customized,
and is more cost effective for students since no travel is required. However, due to demand from those
who do not have enough students for an on-site course, coreservlets will be running a public (open enrollment)
Spring training course September 24-28 in Elkridge MD.
The course is taught by experienced Java EE developer and instructor
Matt Cherry.
Matt Cherry is an experienced enterprise architect,
J2EE software engineer, and Oracle DBA.
He has worked in both the private and public sectors, including the intelligence community, where he has
designed and built a number of real-world systems using Spring, Hibernate, Web Services, and related technologies.
In addition to being an instructor for coreservlets.com, Matt is a full time consultant
for Integrated Computer Concepts Inc. (ICCI). Matt also serves as an adjunct professor in the part-time graduate
program for Computer Science at Johns Hopkins University, where he teaches Enterprise System Design and Implementation.
The course consists of an approximately equal mixture of lecture and hands-on lab
time. It assumes that all students have moderate to strong Java skills;
it is not a course for newcomers to Java.
It does not assume any previous exposure to Spring, Hibernate, or JPA.
The course will be held at
the Johns Hopkins Dorsey Center in
Elkridge, Maryland. This is a modern, comfortable venue with separate computers for each student, fast internet connections,
and with coffee, snacks, and meals included. Class meets from 8:30 am to 4:30 pm daily. For students who
prefer to bring their own laptops, fast wifi is available, and you can
email the instructor for information
on installing the class software in advance.
For Maryland residents, the location is centrally located 5 minutes from BWI airport and has plenty of free parking.
For out-of-town students, there are many hotels within 1 mile.
The five-day course costs $2395 per student and includes an extensive course notebook, a commercial
textbook, exercises, exercise solutions, breakfast, snacks, and lunch. Compare this price to courses from Sun, Learning Tree, GlobalKnowledge,
and Oracle University that cost around $2400 for four-day courses and $3000 for five-day courses that do not
include textbooks or meals. Besides, those courses almost always use an unknown instructor who did not develop the course materials
and often lacks significant real-world development experience.
