1. Backend Development Basics

You’ll learn the basics of backend development, including how the HTTP protocol works and the differences between HTTP and HTTPS. You’ll also study HTTP status codes and data formats like JSON and XML for transferring information between client and server.

Introduction to Backend

Data formats: JSON and XML

2. Spring Boot Basics

In this section, we will dive into the essential concepts of backend development using Spring. We will cover various topics, including an introduction to Spring, the principles of Inversion of Control (IoC) and Dependency Injection (DI), the structure of a Spring Boot project, Spring MVC, three-tier architecture, and task management. Each chapter will build upon the previous one to provide a comprehensive understanding of backend development in a Spring environment.

Introduction to Spring

Project structure

Three-Level Architecture

3. RESTful API

This section covers the fundamentals and practical implementation of RESTful APIs, starting with the theoretical understanding of REST and its core principles. It also includes building your own API, working with DTOs, handling exceptions, integrating Swagger for documentation, and testing the API.

Basic Principles of REST

Writing Your Own REST API

Working with DTO

Exception Handling

Testing RESTful API

4. Working with Databases

This section covers the basics of working with relational databases, including connection setup, migrations, and interaction with Object-Relational Mappers (ORM) using JPA and Hibernate. It discusses how to integrate databases with Spring Boot applications and explores key aspects of transaction management to ensure data integrity. The goal of this section is to enhance your database skills and promote their effective use in application development.

Connecting a MySQL Database

Database Migrations

Working with ORM: JPA and Hibernate

Add the Database to Our Application

5. Testing Backend Applications

This section focuses on testing backend applications and covers essential topics such as the fundamentals of testing, unit testing using JUnit, and integration testing. It also explores the use of mock objects with the Mockito library to create effective and isolated tests. This section will help developers understand the importance of testing and learn how to utilize tools to enhance the quality and reliability of their applications.

Writing Your Own REST API

Well, let’s move on to the most exciting part and write our own REST API. I recommend coding along as you watch the video for a better understanding.

Let’s create a simple RESTful API for a bookstore using Spring Boot. We will include all the necessary components: models, repositories, services, controllers. The API will support creating, reading, updating, and deleting books.

Short Clip From the Video

In our REST API, we defined the model we’ll be working with (Book model), which includes the following fields:

Main


              123456
            
public class Book {
    private String id;
    private String name;
    private String author;
    private String price;
}

We also implemented endpoints for our application, which we will test in the following chapters.

Examples of the endpoints:

GET /books — retrieves all books (findAllBooks() method);
POST /books — creates a new book (createBook() method);
PUT /books/{id} — updates a book with the specified ID (updateBook() method);
DELETE /books/{id} — deletes a book with the specified ID (deleteBook() method).
