Spring Data JPA And REST APIs

Develop Database Applications With Spring Data JPA And Expose Their Functionality Using REST APIs


What you'll learn
Learn the core of database and REST programming with Spring Data JPA and start applying for Spring REST jobs.
Discover how the Query Builder Mechanism of Spring Data JPA simplifies database programming and start using its magic to develop real world applications.
Develop your own powerful REST APIs with Java, Spring Data JPA, Eclipse, Maven, and Postman.
Learn a variety of Java and SQL data types especially time-related classes.
Use Eclipse and Postman together with a database console to develop and test REST APIs and database applications.

Requirements
This course is for Java programmers. Any Java programmer can take this course.
A development machine suitable for Java programming will be sufficient.
I have provided a setup guide containing instructions to setup Java Development Kit (JDK), Eclipse, Spring Tool Suite, & Postman (free account) in order to run sample applications and perform REST API testing of this course.
You don't need to have Spring, database, or REST API experience in order to take this course.

Description
If you're a Java developer and looking to secure your first Spring Data JPA programming job or develop your own REST APIs with Spring Data JPA, this course is the best learning resource you need.
Why should I join this course?
Join this course to discover how
Spring Data JPA
simplifies
database programming
. Spring Data JPA is the most popular way to build database applications using Java.
You'll also learn
REST API
development with
Spring Data JPA
.
This course is a practical and step-by-step
coding exercise
along with
architectural
and
conceptual
discussions.
What will I be able to do or achieve after completing this course?
You will be able to develop Spring Data JPA applications that use SQL databases.
You'll also be able to build your own powerful REST APIs around Spring Data JPA, which is very useful since majority of real world Spring Data JPA applications are actually REST APIs.
How does the course teach?
In this course, we write and discuss code, work with variety of datatypes in Java, SQL, and JSON, read documentation and relate it with our code, run our sample applications, go through applications logs, verify results by comparing with rows in our database tables, and while doing all this
we incrementally build the sample applications of this course
.
Is this a hands-on software development course or a theoretical discussion?
It is both! I have been teaching Software courses for
more than 20 years
. I have mastered the technique of demonstrating practical hands-on work while delivering sound theoretical concepts.
We develop and test a lot of code in the form of sample applications. The video lectures refer to official Spring, Hibernate, SQL, and other documentation to explain how the code is internally working. This technique not only demonstrates programming, it also builds concepts and makes you familiar with the official documentation.
I also provide insights about how stuff works behind the scenes: JPA repositories, Hibernate ORM, and REST API annotations etc.
After completing this course, you'll be able to solve any Spring Data JPA problem yourself, by reading official documentation and using the sample code.
What practical application development steps does this course demonstrate?
The sample applications in this course demonstrate the
Query Builder Mechanism
of Spring Data JPA with lots of code and discussions. We do this by developing Spring Data JPA
repositories
.
We also provide Java code that
uses our repositories
. In addition, we also build
REST APIs
around our repositories.
We also demonstrate the use of
Java data types
in
Java Persistence API (JPA) entities
together with
SQL data types
in
database tables
. Data types are the center of all Spring Data JPA applications.
Video lectures use a
database console
to show database tables along with
application logs
to show search results.
We use
Postman
to send
REST API requests
using
JSON
messages.
We also demonstrate how
JSON
is converted to Java, which is fed into Spring Data JPA, and the final response is converted back to JSON that is embedded into the REST API responses.
Sample applications for this course include both Spring Data JPA applications and
Postman Collections
.
How can I get the most of this Spring Data JPA and REST APIs course?
1. Prepare the
development setup
as I have described in the course.
2. When you listen to my video lectures, you should
try all the code
of my sample applications on your own development setup. You should run the sample applications, check the application logs, use the database console, test your REST APIs, and perform all the steps described in my video lectures.
3. You should also read the official documentation that I discuss in the video lectures. I have provided links to the documentation as
Resources
attached with video lectures.
4. Consult all
Resources
that I have attached with video lectures. They are all helpful.
5. After performing these steps, write your own code and develop sample applications similar to those I have provided. Don't forget to test your applications in the manner I have tested mine in video lectures.
These steps will turn you into a Spring Dara JPA expert. Guaranteed!
If you perform these steps, send me the sample Spring Data JPA and REST API applications that you have developed. If I like your work, I will promote your resume to potential employers.
Don't hesitate to ask questions.
Who this course is for:
Beginner Java developers who wish to learn Spring Data JPA, database, or REST API programming.
Experienced Java developers trying to learn new ways to build database and REST API applications.
Java programmers who want to learn how SQL databases can be developed directly from Java applications without writing any database scripts.
Spring Data JPA is a good way to start learning SQL database programming. Take this course if you want to learn the basics of SQL databases.
