Spring MVC Part 1 - Core technologies for backend web development

If you know the principle, you will see the core!
Kim Young-han's Spring MVC Basics 👨‍💻

The most popular web frameworks

Most modern applications are web applications that operate in a web environment. Java backend developers often use Spring MVC when developing these web applications. Spring MVC is the most popular web framework, facilitating the rapid and easy development of complex web applications.

Why Backend Web Technologies Are Difficult to Learn

Java backend web technologies are vast and require extensive study. Spring MVC, in particular, offers extensive functionality and a complex architecture. Learning these web technologies can be challenging for three reasons.

1. Weak HTTP-based knowledge

All web technologies are based on HTTP. Therefore, if you lack knowledge of HTTP, it will be difficult to learn web technologies in depth. If you lack knowledge of HTTP, we recommend that you first complete the HTTP Web Fundamentals for All Developers course before taking this course.

HTTP Web Knowledge for All Developers Prerequisite Knowledge

The core of HTTP, essential for practical development

2. The history of Java backend web development is too old.

Java backend web development has been around for over 20 years. Over time, it has evolved and improved upon its shortcomings, leading to automation and abstraction of many aspects.

Especially for developers who recently started web development, learning about the features provided by web frameworks often focuses on simple usage, without understanding the precise reasons behind their implementation . Even if they ask themselves, "Why do we use it this way?", they often struggle to fully understand the historical context and understand the inconveniences that led to the current implementation.

3. The features provided by Spring MVC are too extensive.

Spring MVC provides nearly all the features required for backend web technologies. It's a vast framework, and there's a lot to learn. Along with the advancements in Java backend web technologies, Spring MVC has also seen numerous features added and evolved. However, the fundamental structure of the Spring MVC framework is robust and well-designed, and despite the numerous features added, its fundamental structure has remained largely unchanged. Therefore, a solid understanding of the fundamental structure of Spring MVC is crucial.

Lecture Features

From the beginning of Java web technology to the latest practical techniques

This course takes you back 20 years. Beginning with Servlets, the foundation of Java web technology, and moving on to JSP, the MVC pattern, the MVC framework, and the birth of Spring MVC, all the way to the most advanced Spring MVC implementations commonly used in practice, you'll learn everything step-by-step, building code together. Through hands-on coding, you'll naturally understand the reasons behind the emergence of Daum technologies and the improvements they've made.

Developing the MVC framework directly in code

To successfully develop web applications with Spring, you must first grasp the core structure of Spring MVC. However, because Spring MVC automates and abstracts numerous features, grasping its core structure can be challenging.

You and I will build the core features of Spring MVC directly, without Spring. Rather than simply understanding the MVC framework from scratch, we will develop it from scratch . And through this step-by-step process, we will naturally gain a deeper understanding of why Spring MVC's internal structure is designed this way .

Course Objectives

Hundreds of hours would be insufficient to cover all Java web technologies. Rather than attempting to cover everything, this course establishes the core framework of Java backend web development and then focuses on the web technologies essential for practical use . By the end of this course, you'll have a solid foundation and be able to confidently develop Spring backend web applications.

Spring MVC Lecture Structure

Spring MVC Part 1 - Core Backend Web Development Technologies Current Lecture 

Cover the core concepts of Java web technology and Spring MVC, and understand the basic features of Spring MVC.
Part 1 introduces Java backend web technologies, then covers the full spectrum of web technologies, including Servlets, JSP, the MVC pattern, and the MVC framework. After understanding the background of web technologies, we'll solidify a solid foundation in the core concepts of Spring MVC. We'll then explore the basic features of Spring MVC and develop a web page capable of basic CRUD operations using Spring MVC.

Spring MVC Part 2 - Backend Web Development Techniques

Learn various techniques for utilizing Spring MVC.
Part 2 gradually develops a single example, learning various Spring MVC utilization techniques through code, including Thymeleaf, messaging, internationalization, validation, cookies, sessions, filters, interceptors, exception handling, common features, and extension points.
