Master Java Web Services and REST API with Spring Boot: Learn to create RESTful and SOAP web services with Spring and Spring Boot using Java [Video]

This video course offers a comprehensive overview of developing both SOAP and RESTful web services using Spring Boot, Spring Web MVC, Spring Web Services, and JPA. The course begins with an introduction to the basics of RESTful web services and their significance in a microservices architecture. The course is divided into two parts: RESTful web services and SOAP web services. In the first part, you will learn the fundamentals of RESTful web services by developing resources for a social media application. You will explore various features such as versioning, exception handling, documentation (Swagger), basic authentication (Spring Security), filtering, and HATEOAS, along with best practices in designing RESTful web services. Throughout the course, you will be working with various tools and frameworks, such as Spring (dependency management), Spring MVC (or Spring REST), Spring Boot, Spring Security (authentication and authorization), Spring Boot Actuator (monitoring), Swagger (Documentation), Maven (dependencies management), Eclipse (IDE), Postman (REST services client), and the Tomcat embedded web server. By the end of the course, you will have a solid understanding of how to develop both SOAP and RESTful web services using Spring and be able to apply these skills to real-world projects.
