Fast Track to RESTful Services in Java (TT7305)

Fast Track to RESTful Services in Java (TT7305) Course Details:

This course introduces developers to the core concepts, principles, and Java implementations for RESTful services. Today's development environments are increasingly dominated by sophisticated tooling that makes the implementation of RESTful services less arduous. The proper design of these services is far more complex and demanding. In this course, you will learn the principles and technologies used in building these services. This understanding is critical to being able to diagnose, troubleshoot, tune, and perform other lifecycle activities.

Hands-On Learning: As a programming class, this course provides multiple challenges labs for students to work through during the class. This workshop is about 50% hands-on lab and 50% lecture. Throughout the course, students will be led through a series of progressively advanced topics where each topic consists of lecture, group discussion, comprehensive hands-on lab exercises, and lab review. Multiple detailed lab exercises are laced throughout the course, designed to reinforce fundamental skills and concepts learned in the lessons. At the end of each lesson, developers will be tested with a set of review questions to ensure that he/she has fully understands that topic.

  • Working knowledge (at least one year) with Servlets and Spring
  • Familiarity with XML and JSON

Experienced Java developers and architects who need to identify, design, and implement web services.
