This specialization provides a complete, hands-on journey into the Java Spring Framework—covering Inversion of Control (IoC), dependency injection, aspect-oriented programming (AOP), and the MVC architecture. Learners progress from foundational Java concepts to developing full-fledged enterprise-level web applications. Through practical, project-based learning, participants design relational databases, configure Spring components, and build complete shopping cart systems using Spring MVC and Hibernate. By the end, learners will have both theoretical mastery and practical expertise to build, deploy, and maintain scalable web solutions using modern Spring practices.
