I published the first REST with Spring tutorials over four years ago, and after 900,000 readers and over a thousand personal questions over email, I've finally realized there is a huge education gap in the ecosystem. I had to learn what makes a good API the hard way, and I couldn’t find anything out there to help me speed things up. It took me 3 years, more than 10 production grade APIs built from scratch and a decent number of mistakes to get to a mature understanding of how an API should really be done well.

Sure, there were tutorials and random code samples out there, but nothing coherent. Nothing start to finish to act as a guide through the challenges of building a mature API with Spring. The educational gap between beginner and the API professional remains vast.

API mistakes are expensive

The landscape of the Web has changed significantly over the last few years, and REST APIs have seen massive growth. Today, most non-trivial applications need to expose an API at some point, and the trend is only going up.

APIs are also public, which means you need to get them right from the start, because they're very expensive to change.

There’s never been a better time to learn the finer points of REST with Spring.

The REST with Spring Video Lessons

Each video module contains multiple, in-depth lessons along with walkthroughs, full code examples and resources, all helping you understand the inner working of building an API with Spring from initial architecture to deployment. Each of the 3 classes below feature a different level of education:

Learn by Building an Actual API

The lessons start with the fundamentals of building a practical REST API with Spring and quickly guides you through the more advanced tactics of a mature, well architected system.

But what makes REST with Spring unique is that you won't just learn how to create a well-designed API. You'll learn how to get that API into production, how to monitor it and how to make sure it stays up and running.

My name is Eugen, and I'll be your instructor through the course.

I've been in the Java ecosystem for well over a decade now, and I've been building APIs in one form or another, for almost as long. And of course I've been teaching and writing about Spring and REST APIs throughout all of that time.

The advanced modules in the Master Class are a brain dump of what I learned throughout more than 100 API implementations and show you exactly how to avoid common mistakes and get the API over the finish line.

You’ll learn how not to break your clients when new requirements come in, how to set up your testing and continuously deploy into a production environment.
