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.

Active Learning in practice

See how my expertise has helped developers master the tech stack.

"I thought it would be almost impossible to learn everything that was going to be covered in the three months we had. But Andreas broke it all down and explained in such a way that you understood and adjusted the pace of the training while making sure that all subjects were covered. It is obvious that he has a lot of knowledge and enjoys teaching."

"Andreas’ teaching was delivered in a clear way, with lots of detail and a deep understanding of the topic. Rated 5 out of 5."

"With my previous experience as a product owner, I wanted to take the step to retrain myself and become a programmer. The assignment fell on Andreas during an incredibly rewarding 12-week course focusing on Java. I began from scratch as I have never programmed before. After completing the course, I feel confident in being able to take on work as a Java developer."

"Andreas is a very pedagogical teacher who cares about the development of all his students. Andreas strength as a teacher is to see each individual student and thereby more easily help those who need extra support as well as those students who need greater challenges. Andreas is also responsive to the students' wishes and adapts the material accordingly."

"Andreas is a good teacher with sharp knowledge in java. And his positivity and joy he spread to the whole class during the days we had him as a teacher. The best teacher I've had so far, I have gained a lot of knowledge in java, thanks to Andreas Olsson."

"I graduated in the Java program at Academic Work and have Andreas to thank in large part for that. His way of teaching is in many ways pedagogical and he is also incredibly enthusiastic as a teacher, but his best quality is that he manages to make learning fun!"

"My assessment of Andreas as a trainer is that he is very passionate about his subject. He is always happy and positive and that has contributed with a wonderful atmosphere to the lessons. You always feel welcome to ask questions if you don't understand something and he always does his utmost to answer them. What I appreciated the most is that Andreas made it feel like there were no stupid questions, which made you dare to ask everything you needed."

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