Following are the main topics covered in the course. If you have a group of at least eight interested developers (10 for courses outside the US or Canada), contact Marty to arrange a course at your location. If you have fewer developers, see the page on public training courses for info on an open-enrollment version in Maryland. The Spring and Hibernate courses are developed and taught by Kyong Park and Matt Cherry, with review and editing by Marty Hall.

Please note that these Spring-specific topics can be combined with the Hibernate and JPA training course for a five-day combined course. However, Spring is not necessarily linked to Hibernate, and the Spring topics can be taught separately if desired. Of course, Spring can also be combined with any of the other training topics. Contact Marty to put together a customized blend of topics to fit your needs.
