Introduction: Hey there, aspiring Java developers! Are you ready to dive into the world of RESTful Web Services using Java, Spring Boot, and Spring Data JPA? This is the course for you! Whether you're a beginner or looking to solidify your skills, this practical video course will guide you through every step of creating a full-fledged RESTful API with essential features like user sign-up, sign-in, email verification, password reset, and more. Plus, you'll deploy your application to the Amazon AWS Cloud! 🚀

What You'll Learn:

👥 User Management:

• User sign-up and sign-in processes
• Email verification to confirm user accounts
• Password reset functionality for account recovery
• Retrieving and displaying user details
• Paginating through a list of users
• Updating and deleting user information securely

🔒 Security & Email Integration:

• Securing your API with Spring Security
• Utilizing Amazon AWS SES for email services, including sending and confirming emails
• Implementing JSON Web Tokens (JWT) in your HTTP requests

Client Interaction & Data Exchange:

• Working with Postman to send HTTP POST, GET, DELETE, and PUT requests
• Setting necessary HTTP Headers for your requests
• Sending data via the HTTP body or through URL Query Strings and Path parameters
• Enabling your RESTful Web Service for Cross-Origin AJAX requests

Data Formats & Responses:

• Handling JSON and XML responses from your API

Development Environment Setup:

• Installing Spring Tool Suite (STS) for a streamlined development experience
• Configuring MySQL server with MySQL Workbench GUI for database management
• Running Apache Tomcat locally to test your application
• Adding and managing specific versions of Apache Tomcat in STS

Building, Packaging & Deployment:

• Using Maven to manage project dependencies and build your application into a WAR file
• Running your RESTful Web Service as a standalone Java application with embedded Tomcat
• Deploying your application to an Apache Tomcat server
• Starting up your own Amazon AWS EC2 instance in the cloud and setting it up for deployment

Advanced Topics & Database Integration:

• Working with the H2 in-memory database, perfect for development and testing without additional setup
• Using Spring Data JPA query methods and Native SQL Queries to interact with databases
• Previewing data using the H2 console or a MySQL database server

Testing & Quality Assurance:

• Writing JUnit 5 tests to ensure your code behaves as expected
• Testing RESTful Web Service endpoints with Rest Assured for accurate and reliable API functionality

By the end of this course, you'll have a solid understanding of how to create, test, and deploy a RESTful Web Service with user management features. You'll gain hands-on experience with Java, Spring Boot, Spring MVC, and JPA, as well as practical knowledge of working with AWS, email services, and secure API endpoints.
