Building Real-Time REST APIs with Spring Boot - Blog App

In this course, you will learn how to build REAL-TIME REST APIs by developing a complete Blog application and you will also learn how to deploy it on the AWS cloud.

Well, we will follow the Real-time industry-standard project development approach in this course.

Important: This course supports Spring Boot version 3+ and Spring Security version 6+.

The source code and PDF files (class notes) are available for download.

This course is for advanced learning so you need to have Spring boot basics understanding. But don't worry I have added a Spring Boot crash course for Beginners at the end of this course so if you are a beginner then first learn the Spring Boot Crash Course for Beginners lectures.

What is Spring Boot?

Spring Boot is an opinionated framework that helps developers build Spring-based applications quickly and easily.

The main goal of Spring Boot is to quickly create Spring-based applications without requiring developers to write the same boilerplate configuration again and again.

Spring Boot is a very popular framework for developing REST web services and microservices.
