Build practical skills in designing and deploying RESTful APIs with Spring Boot by creating an Employee Management System from the ground up. Designed for learners seeking hands-on experience with Spring Boot REST API development, this course guides you from project setup and domain modeling to API implementation and application configuration. You’ll create Department and Employee domain entities, use Spring Data JPA to develop repository and service layers, and organize business logic with clean separation of concerns. You’ll then design RESTful controllers with Spring annotations to manage employee and department resources through structured API endpoints. You’ll also configure the main application entry point and application.properties file to manage startup behavior and server properties. What makes this course distinctive is its focused, project-based approach, bringing domain modeling, data access, service logic, RESTful controllers, and Spring Boot configuration together in one Employee Management System. By the end, you’ll be able to structure a Spring Boot application, implement service and data access layers, build RESTful API endpoints, and configure application behavior for a functional backend project.

Syllabus

Building the Foundation of the Application
- This module introduces learners to the foundational setup of a RESTful API-based Employee Management System using Spring Boot. It covers the initial project creation, configuration of dependencies, and development of core domain classes such as Department and Employee. The module further guides learners through designing repositories and service layers that form the structural and business logic foundation of the application. By the end of this module, learners will have constructed a fully functional backend scaffold with cleanly separated concerns using industry-standard patterns.
Implementing API Endpoints and Configuration
- This module focuses on creating and configuring the API endpoints necessary for managing employee and department data in a RESTful service architecture. Learners will design controller classes to handle HTTP requests, structure the main application entry point, and apply essential Spring Boot configuration using the application.properties file. The emphasis is on practical implementation of RESTful design principles and fine-tuning runtime behavior through modular, annotation-based programming.
