Tradtional MVC Architecture1:51
Discover how a traditional monolithic MVC architecture processes a user request, with a browser to controller, model business logic, and HTML view returning to the client.
Disadvantages with traditional MVC Architecture5:07
Explore the drawbacks of traditional monolithic MVC architectures, from data leakage of presentation logic to single-server bottlenecks, and see how web services enable scalable, distributed solutions.
RMI3:16
Learn remote method invocation with a stub and skeleton using atami, where a flight booking service calls a weather forecast method in another JVM and receives data.
Webservices with SOAP9:10
Learn how SOAP enables web services across languages by exchanging XML messages wrapped in an envelope with a header and a body, enabling interoperable calls over the web.
RESTFul WebServices13:08
Understand restful web services and representational state transfer, focusing on resources and HTTP methods. Compare rest with soap, and review stateless, caching, layered system, uniform contract, and hypermedia.

Traditioinal MVC vs REST API3:47
Explore traditional spring mvc architecture from front controller to view resolver. Contrast it with rest api design that returns data and test with postman using get, post, put, and delete.
Installing POSTMAN to test our application1:03
Install postman to test your spring rest api beyond browser limits, enabling requests like get, post, and delete for comprehensive api testing.
API We will be building1:27
Build a spring rest api for an ecommerce app, exposing product resources with list, get by id, create, update, and delete operations via standard http methods.
Creating a Spring Boot Project3:17
Create a Spring Boot project with Spring Starter Web in Eclipse, name the artifact Spring rest API, and build a simple rest API using controller, service, and model, no database.
Get Product API10:07
Expose an API to retrieve all products with a rest controller and get mapping. Define a product model and a service that returns a list including iPhone, speaker, and book.
Get specific product2:47
Fetch a specific product by its identifier using the product service and controller, ensuring the product list is properly scoped and populated to return the exact item.
Add resource with POST3:14
Create a new product using a post request by a post-mapped controller method that accepts product parameters, calls the service, and returns a json status.
