Developing RESTful Java Web Services using Spring boot

This course enables a regular Java developer with the power and simplicity of Spring boot applications. Via this course, you will understand the basic concepts of RESTful web services and how Spring boot simplifies the development of a standalone, self contained web service using which you can quickly develop and deploy production ready Java micro services. For taking this course, you DO NOT need to have prior knowledge of Spring framework.

Here is what you can read about Spring boot and a basic comparison of Spring framework and Spring boot.

Spring Boot makes it easy to create stand–alone, production–grade Spring based Applications that you can just run .

We take an opinionated view of the Spring platform and third–party libraries so you can get started with minimum fuss. Most Spring Boot applications need very little Spring configuration.

Features

Create stand–alone Spring applications

Embed Tomcat, Jetty or Undertow directly (no need to deploy WAR files)

Provide opinionated ‘starter’ dependencies to simplify your build configuration

Automatically configure Spring and 3rd party libraries whenever possible

Provide production–ready features such as metrics, health checks and externalized configuration

Absolutely no code generation and no requirement for XML configuration
