Course overview:

Javanista to Java Master is the journey intended for Java developers who aspire to sharpen their skills in Java enterprise frameworks and wish to become master’s in enterprise application development.

In this journey, you will first learn how to write and run JUnit tests and identify the right situation to construct and use mock object. The journey continues by discovering how Jakarta Enterprise Edition (JEE) offers a straightforward and comprehensive approach to building state-of-the-art enterprise applications that enables you to create rich web-based interfaces using Java Server Faces (JSF) and effectively construct business logic using Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB). Finally, the journey takes you deeper into the Spring framework where you gradually progress from the Spring principles, Inversion of Control and Aspect Oriented Programming to the Database Integration using ORM frameworks such as JPA & Hibernate, Spring Data JDBC, and Spring Data JPA. You will complete this journey with a clear exploration on Spring Batch for processing batch data.

The tracks you will cover include:

• Track 1: Unit Testing
• Track 2: Java EE
• Track 3: Spring Basics
• Track 4: Spring Data
