RESTful APIs with Spring Boot

Learn to design and implement REST APIs according to professional best practices.

Expected Outcome

You gain the ability to independently design APIs with correct validation and documentation.

Target Audience

For developers wanting to master REST architecture and build scalable APIs in Spring Boot.

Prerequisites

Prior knowledge equivalent to my workshop 'Spring Boot Jumpstart: Essentials' required.

Curriculum & Highlights

→ REST Principles & Patterns

→ Spring @RestController

→ Mapping & Path Variables

→ Global Error Handling

→ OpenAPI Documentation

Detailed Description

REST APIs form the backbone of modern system communication, but poor design often leads to unmaintainable services and complex integrations. Without a clear strategy for contract management, technical debt is created that quickly stifles innovation and lowers stability. Many developers struggle to implement HTTP standards correctly, resulting in APIs that are difficult to consume and maintain over time for modern clients. This creates an environment that is both difficult to manage and highly inefficient for any team. This workshop addresses these challenges through my Active Learning methodology where practical craftsmanship is at the center. I guide you through the process of API design with Spring Boot, from resource modeling to documentation. We build robust services with Spring @RestController, focusing on validation and error handling that meet the demands of a modern Enterprise environment today.

Recommendation & Next Steps

After this, I recommend my workshop 'Mastering Spring Data & Persistence' now.

Expertise through Active Learning

Java and the Spring Framework have been my core focus for over 20 years. Today, my mission is primarily to help organizations step into the future by integrating intelligent agents and AI-driven features into modern Java systems.

Actlea stands for Active Learning – the philosophy that programming is best learned by writing code, not by watching slides. My workshops focus on intensive, hands-on exercises designed to solve real-world problems.

I deliver proven training concepts globally across all timezones. While I specialize in remote delivery, I love to travel for onsite workshops. My modules are ready for immediate impact but can be tailored to your team's specific requirements.

"Andreas Olsson is a very good teacher! Rated 5 out of 5."

"Andreas is a real spreader of joy, and it is clear that he loves to teach. The Java program was the most intensive I have done in terms of education, but Andreas pedagogy, humor and knowledge made the time fly by."

"I attended a training in Java development that Andreas held, we were a group of 20 people who mostly participated online. Andreas took the time to guide and help all participants at their level. For those who completed quickly there were more difficult tasks, and for those who needed more time there was more support to be had. Andreas is very educational and gave me, in addition to the knowledge I now possess, many wonderful memories and laughter!"

"Andreas is a very knowledgeable and committed trainer. You can tell that this is an area he really enjoys as he eagerly dives into discussions about every detail that we have questions about. He has a positive energy that is contagious and he makes you look forward to the next lesson."

"Andreas really has an educational way of explaining OOP. During my time as a student, I appreciated the concrete examples given during class time and how Andreas took the time to answer my questions if I did not understand certain concepts. Without his well-prepared lessons, assignments and easy access as a teacher, I don't think I would have made it through the intensive training."

"Throughout the training, Andreas was endlessly positive in his dealings with all the consultants he trained. There is an enormous amount of information that you need to consume during an Accelerated Learning program, which can easily lead to frustration. Having a competent and experienced teacher in Andreas, who can both teach the modules in an efficient and fun way, as well as constantly be positive and encouraging throughout the process, undeniably eased the weight on everyone's shoulders."

"Andreas is an excellent teacher who shows great competence in system development with Java and has developed an effective and engaging curriculum. He is an experienced system developer with broad knowledge of the Java ecosystem and he provides valuable feedback that helps students grow and develop as programmers. Andreas also encourages independent and creative thinking for students. I highly recommend Andreas to anyone looking for a high-quality education in Java development."

"I had the pleasure of having Andreas as a teacher when I went to AW academy last fall. I found him to be incredibly knowledgeable and educational throughout the course. 5/5 stars"
