Build the skills required to become a Java backend developer and learn how modern server-side applications are developed using Java, Spring Framework, Spring Boot, Spring Security, and REST APIs. This specialization is designed for learners who want practical experience building backend systems used in real-world web applications.
This 3-course specialization provides a structured path to mastering backend development with Spring technologies. The first course builds a strong foundation in Core Java, covering programming fundamentals, object-oriented concepts, collections, exceptions, and modern Java features such as lambda expressions and streams.
The second course focuses on the Spring Framework, where learners explore Dependency Injection, Spring Beans, configuration techniques, and Spring MVC architecture used to build web applications and manage application flow.
The final course introduces Spring Boot and Spring Security, where learners build REST APIs, integrate databases using Spring Data JPA and Hibernate, and secure applications using authentication and JWT-based authorization.
By completing this specialization, you will be able to:
• Build backend applications using Java and Spring Boot frameworks
• Develop and structure REST APIs for modern web platforms
• Implement authentication and authorization using Spring Security
• Connect applications to databases using Spring Data JPA and Hibernate
Projet d'apprentissage appliqué
During the specialization, you will build a complete Spring Boot backend application that includes REST APIs, database integration, and secure authentication using JWT tokens. This project demonstrates how real backend systems are developed in production environments. After completing this specialization, learners will have the practical knowledge and technical skills needed to pursue roles such as Java Backend Developer, Spring Boot Developer, or Backend Software Engineer, and apply these tools in real-world software development environments.
