Courses
-
Build practical skills in RESTful API development with Spring Boot by creating a complete Pet Clinic backend application. Designed for learners seeking hands-on experience with Java REST API development, this course takes you from project setup and domain modeling to a functional, maintainable REST API. You’ll configure a Maven-based Spring Boot project, create reusable JPA entity models, and develop data access layers with Spring Data JPA. You’ll strengthen API reliability by implementing custom exceptions and centralized error handling with @ControllerAdvice. You’ll also use Jackson serializers to control JSON output and create clean, secure API responses. As the project progresses, you’ll build REST controllers, connect service and repository layers, and implement CRUD operations through structured HTTP endpoints. What makes this course distinctive is its practical Pet Clinic case study, which brings domain modeling, persistence, exception handling, serialization, layered architecture, and REST controllers together in one project. By the end, you’ll be able to design and implement maintainable RESTful APIs with Spring Boot using a structured, layered approach.
-
Build practical REST API testing skills by applying REST Assured with Java to a complete Book Store API testing workflow. Designed for learners seeking hands-on experience with Java REST API testing and automated API validation, this course guides you through project setup, secured API requests, and functional testing. You’ll configure a Java REST Assured project environment and integrate the dependencies required for API automation. You’ll then create users, execute authenticated API requests, and apply token-based authorization to work with secured endpoints. As you progress, you’ll implement CRUD operations for managing book records and validate functional outcomes using REST Assured. What makes this course distinctive is its focused, project-based approach. Rather than learning API testing concepts in isolation, you’ll apply project configuration, user identity, authorization, CRUD operations, request execution, and response validation within one practical Book Store API workflow. By the end, you’ll be able to structure and automate REST API tests, execute secured requests, validate responses, and test Book Store API operations using REST Assured with Java. Enroll to strengthen your practical API automation skills through an end-to-end testing workflow.
-
Build practical RESTful API automation skills using Java and REST Assured through an Employee Database API case study. Designed for learners seeking hands-on experience with REST API testing in Java, this course takes you through a structured workflow from project setup and data preparation to automated CRUD testing and response validation. You’ll configure a REST Assured Java environment, construct structured JSON payloads, and map JSON data to Java POJOs. You’ll execute and validate API requests using GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE methods to retrieve, add, update, and remove employee data. You’ll also use Hamcrest matchers to verify API responses, evaluate test results, and confirm complete CRUD functionality. What makes this course distinctive is its case study approach, which connects REST Assured configuration, API development, automated testing, and output validation within one practical Employee Database API workflow. By the end, you’ll be able to build REST API automation scripts, validate responses, and assess CRUD operations using Java and REST Assured. Enroll to strengthen your API testing skills through structured, application-focused practice.
-
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.
