Course Description
Learn
the basic concepts of API's to include HTTP based REST with JSON
payloads. Learn how to create a working system with Java using the
Jersey 2.0 framework and Swagger to create API documentation. Learn how
to create an API that connects to MongoDB. We walk thru creating some
simple API's and follow thru with deployment onto a Tomcat application
server. This development is presented on a Mac OSX with Java 1.7 and
deployed on a Linux server in a cloud environment.
Build
a strong foundation in API development with Java. This course helps you
understand and implement API's using Java and Jersey technology for your own back end server with the
latest technologies.

Content and Overview
This
course explains key technology concepts of API's with REST and JSON
technology in a Java system. We show development from start to finish to
include deployment on a live production server not just a test machine.
What are you going to get from this course?
- Detailed knowledge of how to create Java based REST/JSON API's
- Learn how to setup a Maven project in Eclipse
- Learn how to document your API's using Swagger.
- Learn how to use MongoDB as the back end for API's.
- Teaching
by example, several hands on examples showing every detail to the
smallest degree from starting a new application to deploying it in production.
- Access to Instructors GitHub account with many extras and examples.
If you don't have a a production server device don't worry, we show you how to test everything on your local computer.
Note: Development is all presented on a Mac OSX notebook, Linux and Windows are not address. Java is a portable language and all the tools described in this class are available on Windows and Linux but no intent is made to describe how to setup them up on other platforms.
