Master the Spring Framework, its fundamentals and core topics, and share the authors’ insights and real-world experiences. This book goes well beyond the basics: you'll learn how to leverage the latest Spring Framework 6 to build the various tiers and parts of today's modern, complex enterprise Java applications systems, top to bottom, including data access, SQL generation with jOOQ, persistence with Hibernate, transactions, set up security, classic web and presentation tiers and adding in some reactivity. Spring 6 will be based on the latest available Long Term Support (LTS) release, Java 17. So, you will be able to do the following in your Spring applications: use records, use new utility methods in String class; utilize Local-Variable Syntax for Lambda Parameters; Nested Based Access Control, and more.
