What you will learn

Be confident and competent in creating web front ends for Spring projects

Able to integrate externally produced professional HTML designs into your Spring projects.

Able to build robust HTML pages that can be opened, viewed and edited by designers without any knowlege of Spring, Java, JSP etc.

Why take this course?

If you are building web front-ends with Spring Boot or Spring MVC, and you're still using JSP (Java Server Pages) then this course is for you. Thymeleaf is a great templating engine which replaces JSP, and you can easily use it in any Spring MVC or Spring Boot application. Unlike JSP it's a pleasure to use. With Thymeleaf you work with regular HTML, which means that a lot of the frustration of JSP is taken away.

If you've been given a set of HTML and CSS templates to use for a project, Thymeleaf lets you integrate them with ease. Or if you're building the functionality and handing off to a web-designer, they'll be able to work with your code with no knowlege of Java or Spring.

In this course you'll learn:

How Thymeleaf allows you to seamlessly work with Web Designers
How to integrate your code into standard HTML/XHTML without breaking the design
How to manage forms, validation and error handling
How to convert a legacy JSP project to Thymeleaf

By the end of this course you'll be confidently able to build functional and effective front-ends for your Spring web applications.

As well as teaching programming, I've been building websites with Spring for a number of years, and I started using Thymeleaf about 3 years, ago. And I'd never go back! Amongst other things I find Thymeleaf sites much easier to support and maintain as application requirements change, and I think that's why I'm so much of a fan of it!

The course guides you through the very basics of Thymeleaf and lets you follow the author in real-time code writing, which is great for beginners and the way of learning I prefer. The only minus is that the content is a little old now and does not correspond to the current state of Thymeleaf libraries. I know it focuses on how to migrate from JSP, but that technology being barely used nowadays, it would be great if it provided a chapter on working with Spring MVC with Thymeleaf from scratch.

Page Layouts was highly beneficial and would appreciate an intermediate course on this. Static Layouts vs Dynamic Layouts.

Well structured and well paced. Straight to the point and easy to understand examples for everything. Honestly the best programming course I've taken on udemy.

super helpful. I am porting a legacy JSP based application to Spring Boot and using Thymeleaf looks to be the fastest and most straight forward way to go. Matt is presenting things in a really natural order that makes it easy to pick up quickly.

Some things that instructor explains where the code should have thrown a parsing error and stuff like that - doesn't do that on my computer - I'm guessing that some of the info is a bit outdated - doest occur in the latest version of thymeleaf. But all in all - good course!

stayed focused on the new material; related it well to existing material; the flow of information was efficient and very easy to follow; and the mistakes made felt uncensored, relatable, and well-handled instead of unrealistic "perfect coding"

In general course is very good and provided me with basic knowledge needed to make a transition of one of my projects from jsp to thymeleaf. A kind of cheatsheet with most commonly used th tags and examples of their use would be a nice addition to this course.
