This course delves into the core aspects of Spring Boot, focusing on data access and application configuration. You'll begin by mastering the basics of Spring Data and the Java Persistence API (JPA), learning to implement a robust data access layer and manage entity classes within relational databases. Our hands-on approach, using an H2 in-memory database, ensures you gain practical experience in querying and modifying data. Additionally, you'll explore advanced configuration techniques, such as overriding application properties via the command line and utilizing YAML files for complex property definitions. Discover the power of Spring Boot profiles to tailor your applications for different environments, and leverage Spring Boot Actuator to monitor application performance and metrics. By the end of this course, you'll be equipped with the knowledge and skills to create adaptable, efficient, and scalable Spring Boot applications.

This module is designed to integrate backend and frontend technologies, offering hands-on experience in building a Spring Boot application that interacts with a relational database and exposes a REST API. You will learn to call this REST service from a React client application, mastering the fetch function, handling promises, and using async and await for efficient code. As you progress, you will develop a fully functional React single-page application (SPA), focusing on creating an engaging user interface that connects to a Spring Boot backend for data interaction. You will explore essential React techniques such as routing, state management, and effect hooks, equipping you with the skills to build sophisticated applications. By the end of this module, you will be proficient in creating cohesive full-stack applications that deliver seamless user experiences, effectively bridging the gap between server-side logic and client-side interactivity.
