Create a Spring Boot project from scratch in Eclipse using the Spring Tool Suite, with Maven and jar packaging, and learn about fat jars, embedded Tomcat, and Spring Web starters.
Understand how Spring Boot auto configures and boots a Spring application by combining annotations, enabling component scanning, and producing a fat jar for stand-alone deployment.
Spring boot automates project setup with starter dependencies and embedded servers, enabling standalone production-grade applications with minimal externalized configuration via auto-configuration.
Learn how to deploy a Spring Boot application as a war on a Tomcat server by switching packaging to war, marking Tomcat dependencies as provided, and configuring the application context.
Note : If you are using Latest version of Spring, your FreeMarker template must end with ".ftlh" instead of ".ftl"
Compare traditional Spring MVC architecture with REST API, including dispatcher servlet, handler mappings, model, and view, and explore Spring Boot auto-configuration and REST endpoints tested with Postman.
Learn how web services use http methods like get, post, and delete, and why browsers limit testing; explore Postman, a free tool to test your application.
Explore the product API for an e-commerce app, to list all products, view a product by id, and create, update, or delete with json inputs via http methods.
Create a Spring Boot REST API by setting up a Spring Starter project with the web module, and structure it with controller, service, and model without a database.
Create a resource with a post request in Spring Boot, define a post method, handle form data, call a service to create a product, and return a JSON status.
Learn header-based content negotiation in a Spring Boot REST API by adding the xml dependency, updating pom.xml, and using accept headers to switch from json to xml.
Learn how servers handle multiple formats by using the content type header to select the right converter for XML data when updating resources with put requests.
Learn to restrict Spring REST responses with the produces attribute, choosing Json, Xml, or Pdf. Apply class- or method-level restrictions and return content via ResponseEntity with streams and headers.
Learn how accept-encoding drives compression in full stack apps, enabling the server to select a compression algorithm and the client to decode automatically, reducing bandwidth and latency.
Explain etag theory by showing how the server provides a hash representing the resource, enabling the client to validate its cache and receive a 304 not modified when unchanged.
Demonstrate etag caching in a spring boot rest app by hashing responses with a shallow etag header filter, configuring it, and validating with if-none-match to return 304.
Explain how to use cache-control headers to decide where to store response data: no-store prevents caching, public allows caching at client and intermediaries, private restricts to the client.
Learn patch for partial updates in spring rest api, compare it with put, and update only specific fields using a key-value map in a patch mapping example.
Explore safe and idempotent http methods; get is safe and idempotent, post is unsafe and non-idempotent, and patch may not be idempotent.
Update an existing product using a put request with rest template across two web services, sending json with an http entity and exchange, and return the updated object.
Explore hateoas, the hypermedia as the engine of application state, where servers provide relation-based links to drive client actions, avoiding hardcoded URLs.
Explore a running spring boot rest app that serves products and reviews as json, each with hateoas links and wrapped responses via the resources wrapper and link builder.

Why should you learn Spring Boot REST?
Pretty much all the modern day applications are built on the principles of REST API to expose webservices.
Spring is the most popular framework to build RESTful Webservices
Understanding of Spring REST is necessary, before you move on to learn Spring Microservices

On my Java course : “Liking the course so for. Very good explanation of each concepts, explaining the fundamentals on each topic, all the way till what happens in memory in each, explaining the “Why’s” in the beginning of topic (which is very important to me, otherwise one would be just memorizing). I liked the author’s approach to start with explaining methods and then expanding it to classes, objects and others. This course is good value for the money.”
Knowledge Notes!
What is Spring Boot REST?
I don’t want to get too technical (Assuming that you are beginner). This was explained well in detail in the course. But roughly speaking, the main purpose of REST API is to decouple presentation from Business and Data tier, so that the same code can be used for both Mobile and Web applications.
In other words, a REST API will not return HTML, like in case of traditional applications. But, will return Data. Because, guess what! HTML works on browsers but not on mobile app.
‘Spring Boot’ on the other hand will help us develop spring apps in rapid manner. Basically, it follows “convention over configuration” principle. Which means, with spring boot, developers can focus on writing the code that matters and don’t have to take care of configurations and other boilerplate code.
This is all discussed in the course, in detail.
What is reactive programming in Spring boot REST?
Again! This was explained well in the course, but to put it simply, reactive programming will reduce the thread wait time on the server. So that, more requests can be processed at a time.
If you want to know ‘How’! Then, it’s hard to explain in typing. It’s explained well in the course.
What is Angular?
Traditional apps used to return HTML and so they can be rendered directly on the browser. But, a REST API will return ‘Data’ without presentation.
So then, who will take care of presentation part? Well, you guessed it. Angular!
Angular is an application that runs on the browser and acts like a client app for REST API. Angular is much more than just that though! Better check out the course lectures.
I hope to see you in the course. Either way, I wish you good luck for your future endeavors!
