Getting Started with Java, Maven, Spring Boot, and Docker

This course is designed to introduce learners to Java, Maven, Spring Boot, and Docker basics and provide hands-on experience in setting up a local development environment for building, deploying, and managing Java applications. The course covers the essential concepts, tools, and techniques needed to get started with these technologies and provides a solid foundation for further learning and exploration.

The course begins with an introduction to Java, including its history, syntax, and basic concepts. Learners will then learn how to set up and use Apache Maven, a popular Java builds tool, for building and managing Java projects. Maven will be used throughout the course to manage dependencies, build and package the application, and run tests.

Next, learners will learn about Spring Boot, a popular framework for building Java applications. They will create a basic Spring Boot application and learn how to use it to build and run a simple Java web application.

Once the Spring Boot application has been created, the course will cover Docker and how to containerize the application. Learners will learn how to build a Docker image, run a container, and manage containers. They will also learn how to push the Docker image to Docker Hub, a public repository for Docker images.

The course concludes with a discussion of best practices for developing and deploying Java applications and an overview of the steps required to set up and work with Java, Maven, Spring Boot, and Docker in a local development environment.

Throughout the course, learners can work through hands-on exercises and build a simple Java application using the technologies covered. By the end of the course, learners will have a foundational understanding of how to use Java, Maven, Spring Boot, and Docker for developing and deploying Java applications and will be equipped with the skills needed to further develop their knowledge and skills in these areas.

This course is suitable for software developers or engineers who are new to Java, Maven, Spring Boot, and Docker and want to understand how to use these technologies in a local development environment. A basic understanding of Java programming and software development concepts would be beneficial, but no prior experience with containers or cloud computing is required.

In conclusion, this course provides an excellent introduction to Java, Maven, Spring Boot, and Docker for software developers and engineers. By the end of the course, learners will have a solid foundation in these technologies and be able to use this knowledge to develop and deploy their own Java applications.
