 # Spring Framework in Depth
 This is the repository for the LinkedIn Learning course Spring Framework in Depth. The full course is available from [LinkedIn Learning][lil-course-url].
 
+![Spring Framework in Depth][lil-thumbnail-url] 
+
+Spring is an application framework and inversion-of-control (IOC) container for the Java platform. The framework's core features can be used by any Java application and are ideal for enterprise and internet-based app development. Get a comprehensive overview of Spring in this intermediate-level course with software architect Frank Moley. Frank develops applications and web services with Spring, and shares what he knows about configuring the ApplicationContext (the interface for accessing components, loading files, publishing events, and more), as well as the beans (objects within the Spring IOC container). He demonstrates a modern Java configuration workflow and explores the Spring lifecycle in depth, so you can extend the framework and better troubleshoot any issues you have with your applications. Plus, learn how to use aspect-oriented programming to add behaviors to your apps in a reusable way.

+Learning objectives
+- Configure the Spring ApplicationContext to access components, load files, publish events, and manage the inversion-of-control (IoC) container for Java applications.
+- Implement beans (objects) within the Spring IoC container and apply a modern Java configuration workflow to develop applications and web services with Spring.
+- Analyze the Spring lifecycle to extend the framework and troubleshoot issues in Spring-based applications.
+- Utilize aspect-oriented programming concepts to integrate reusable behaviors into Java applications in a modular way.
