Turbocharge your back-end Java RESTful API development with Spring Boot and Spring Data technologies. This course is intended for experienced Java developers who want to rapidly build microservices that connect with relational databases via the Java Persistence API (JPA). Here, Mary Ellen Bowman walks you through a step-by-step process for building a microservice with an exposed RESTful API featuring HATEOAS, paging, sorting, and CrudRepository interfaces. Learn about technologies such as Spring Boot, Spring Data JPA, Spring Data REST, and Spring Web MVC @RestController, and see how they all come together into smart and elegant solutions. As a wrap-up, Mary Ellen guides developers in choosing between the Spring Data REST and REST controllers when exposing more complex services.
