0 / 10
01

Application context and dependencies

Interpret how the context finds, creates and selects dependencies; distinguish auto-configuration, explicit composition and shared state.

60 min
Open lesson02

Configuration, binding and profiles

Bind external values to configuration contracts and explain precedence, units, profiles and rejection before operation.

60 min
Open lesson03

HTTP routing and request contracts

Read the HTTP contract from mapping through arguments and response; distinguish method, representation and conversion failures.

60 min
Open lesson04

Validation, errors and response contracts

Distinguish reading, constraints and business rules; keep error responses consistent without hiding conflicts or exposing internal details.

60 min
Open lesson05

Persistence and transaction boundaries

Define units of work, rollback rules and resource participation; distinguish Java calls from effective transactional boundaries.

60 min
Open lesson06

Queries, concurrency and data access

Choose query contracts and control concurrent state; interpret versions, JDBC outcomes and JPA context without confusing memory with committed data.

60 min
Open lesson07

Security and authorization boundaries

Define security coverage for each request, separate authentication from authorization, and diagnose rejection without removing controls.

60 min
Open lesson08

Test scope and integration evidence

Interpret what each test scope demonstrates, preserve access controls, and distinguish local rollback from effects committed on other threads.

60 min
Open lesson09

Health, observability and diagnosis

Interpret operational signals according to scope: HTTP coverage, health, traffic, metrics, traces and event retention.

60 min
Open lesson10

Packaging, delivery and operational acceptance

Link artifacts to acceptance evidence, interpret Boot packaging, and reconcile configuration, shutdown and recovery.

Objectives and progression

Learn Spring Boot through configuration, HTTP, data, security and operations. Interpret code and scenarios through original single- and multiple-choice questions.

Audience

Java developers and support teams needing to understand Spring Boot applications and justify diagnosis and delivery decisions.

Prerequisites

Java fundamentals: types, classes, interfaces, exceptions, collections and code reading. Basic HTTP and SQL. Assessments require no tool installation, program execution or service provisioning.

What you will learn

  • Define composition, configuration and input contracts.
  • Analyze transactions, concurrency and data access.
  • Configure and interpret authorization boundaries and test scopes.
  • Relate artifact identity, observability and recovery.

What is available

10 lessons · 100 regular questions · 20 cases

Internal final assessment: 40 exercises in 90 minutes. Full mock exams are not yet available.

Assessments and mock exams reuse path exercises. They do not award certifications or guarantee passing an external exam.

Scope, review and limitations

Ten lessons with 100 regular questions and 20 original cases. Learn application composition, HTTP contract validation, transaction boundaries, authorization configuration and interpretation of testing and operational evidence. The baseline is Spring Boot 4.1.1, Spring Framework 7.0.9 and Java 25, with Servlet Spring MVC examples unless stated otherwise. All assessments use single or multiple choice with excerpts and scenarios, without code execution. The final assessment reuses 40 course items in 90 minutes. Java fundamentals belong to the separate Java path.

Internal 40-question assessment in 90 minutes, reusing course items, with single or multiple choice and no code execution. It is not an official exam and awards no external certification.
