Introduction

Hey there. 0:01 I'm Chris, and I teach Java here at Treehouse. 0:05 If you've spend some time in our library, 0:08 learning how to write Java web apps using the Spring Framework, 0:09 a natural question might be, how the heck do I make my app available to others? 0:12 Another way to phrase that question would be, how do I deploy a Spring application? 0:18 During this workshop, I'll show you how to do just that. 0:23 Actually we'll break it into two pieces, building your application and 0:26 deploying your application. 0:30 Building refers to the process of creating what are called artifacts, 0:32 which are simply jar files. 0:35 Remember those are Java archives. 0:37 Or WAR files, which are simply web application archives. 0:39 I'll talk about when you might need each type. 0:44 After building your app, you'll be ready to deploy. 0:47 This is the part where you launch or run your application in a web server. 0:50 During this workshop we'll cover three scenarios. 0:55 First, deploying a Spring application using an embedded web server. 0:58 Second, deploying to an existing web server. 1:02 And third, deploying to the cloud with Heroku. 1:05 There other deployment scenarios you might encounter, but these should give you 1:09 a great foundation from which you can explore all other possibilities. 1:12 All right, let's not waste any more time. 1:17 Let's get started. 1:19
