Data Structures & Backend with Java (Coursera)

Offered by Board Infinity,
Data Structures & Backend with Java (Coursera)

This comprehensive course delves deep into the nuances of data structures and backend development with Java. The curriculum is strategically designed across three core modules, seamlessly bridging the understanding of theory with practical application. In the first module, we delve into Java-based data structures, focusing on arrays, multi-dimensional arrays, the String class, and the Java Collections Framework. You'll gain a foundational understanding of efficient data storage and manipulation in backend development.

Transitioning into the second module, we introduce you to Spring and Spring Boot, the pillars of Java application development. We focus on the creation of basic Spring applications, Spring MVC-based web applications, and the overall architecture of Spring Boot.
In the third module, we tackle RESTful web services using Spring Boot, guiding you through the creation of these services, the implementation of CRUD operations for resources, and the application of Spring Security for securing these services.
By the end of this course, participants will be capable of designing and implementing effective data structures and crafting backend solutions using Java. This will set the path toward a promising career in software development.
This course is part of the Java FullStack Developer Specialization.

What you'll learn

  • Acquire proficiency in Java's data structures. Learn to manipulate data using arrays, String class, and Collections Framework.
  • Understand StringBuilder/StringBuffer classes. Use Collections interfaces like ArrayList, LinkedList, HashMap for data management.
  • Learn Spring & Spring Boot, develop Spring applications with dependency, create web apps using Spring MVC, and understand Spring Boot architecture.
  • Master secure RESTful web service creation with Spring Boot. Execute CRUD operations and use Spring Security for web service protection.

Syllabus

Data Structures in Java
Module 1
This module is designed to introduce learners to the fundamental data structures used in computer science, with a focus on the Java programming language. Through a series of lectures, programming assignments, and quizzes, learners will gain a solid understanding of the principles underlying data structures and their implementation in Java.

Spring and Spring Boot Introduction
Module 2
This module is designed to provide learners with an introduction to Spring and Spring Boot, two widely used frameworks in Java application development. Through a series of lectures, hands-on coding exercises, and quizzes, learners will gain a solid understanding of the basics of Spring and Spring Boot.

RESTFul web services and Spring Boot Security
Module 3
This module is designed to provide learners with a comprehensive understanding of building RESTFul web services using Spring Boot, a popular framework for building microservices. Through a series of lectures, hands-on coding exercises, and quizzes, learners will learn how to design, implement, and test RESTFul web services.

With every smartphone and computer now boasting multiple processors, the use of functional ideas to facilitate parallel programming is becoming increasingly widespread. In this course, you'll learn the fundamentals of parallel programming, from task parallelism to data parallelism. In particular, you'll see how many familiar ideas from functional programming map perfectly to to the data parallel paradigm. We'll start the nuts and bolts how to effectively parallelize familiar collections operations, and we'll build up to parallel collections, a production-ready data parallel collections library available in the Scala standard library.
