Spring MVC, Spring Boot and Rest Controllers

LearnQuest concentrates on the web-facing layer of Spring. The approximately twelve-hour sequence introduces MVC and Boot, then separates request parameters from controller work. It is useful for Java developers who need to understand how incoming requests become application actions.

What you will learn

• Connect a request with a Spring controller method.
• Read and validate request parameters.
• Organize controller behavior for a web or REST application.

Who this suits

Intermediate learners with Java programming experience.

Before you enroll

Java experience is an explicit prerequisite. Check the framework version and distinguish response formats and status codes when adapting a controller example.

Coursera offers paid enrollment or subscription access. Check the enrollment screen for assessment and certificate terms, trials and any financial-aid options. Tool subscriptions, model API usage and cloud services may cost extra.

Put it into practice

Implement a small controller with a required parameter and a documented error response. Test missing, malformed and valid requests independently.
