Build REST APIs with JPA, JWT, and DockerBy Gregory IqbalLength8h 7m
About this audiobook
Learn to build production-ready web services with Java REST APIs, Spring Boot, and hands-on projects. This practical guide takes you from beginner to pro, covering routing, validation, JWT authentication, and database integration. Master RESTful API development with clear examples and best practices for securing and scaling your applications.
Start with the fundamentals of Spring Boot and REST principles, then dive into request handling, input validation, and error management. Implement robust JWT authentication to protect your endpoints, and integrate with databases using Spring Data JPA. Each chapter builds on the previous, with real-world code snippets and exercises to reinforce your skills.
You'll learn to design clean API structures, handle exceptions gracefully, and write unit tests for your services. The book also covers deployment strategies, monitoring, and performance optimization. Whether you're a Java developer new to web services or an experienced programmer seeking a refresher, this book provides a complete roadmap.
By the end, you'll be able to build and secure production-grade REST APIs that are maintainable and scalable. Unlike other resources that leave you with theory, this book emphasizes practical application. Compare with works by [placeholder] and [placeholder] to see the difference in hands-on depth.
This hands-on Other guide is written to be used at the keyboard: every concept is paired with something you can run, adapt, and keep. You move from first principles to real, working results, with the common errors and fixes called out along the way so you are never stuck for long.
