What's Inside

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.

I've been creating Java Server applications for the last 15 years with lots of focus on Web Services to supported integration of mobile. Rest/JSON integration are the focus of most of my classes as well as IoT such as iOS Native Swift BLE and ESP8266 type development matches with Arduino 101 devices using the Intel Curie Module.
