**Course Description:**

This intensive two-day workshop dives deep into building robust, scalable REST APIs using Java and Spring Boot. Participants will learn to create a fully functional API with CRUD operations, integrate Swagger for clear documentation, and implement Spring Security for authentication and authorization. This hands-on course covers the essential skills needed to develop the backbone of modern web applications and microservices.

**Who Should Attend:**

* Backend developers looking to enhance their API development skills
* Frontend developers aiming to understand backend operations and API design
* Full-stack developers wanting to strengthen their Java and Spring Boot expertise
* Software architects planning to design scalable, secure web services
* Any developer with core Java knowledge interested in modern web application architecture

**Prerequisites:**
Participants should have a solid understanding of core Java concepts and basic familiarity with web technologies. No prior experience with Spring Boot or REST APIs is required, but it would be beneficial.

**Why You Should Attend:**

1. **Foundation for Microservices:** This course provides the fundamental knowledge required to build microservices architectures, a critical skill in today's distributed systems landscape.
2. **Scalability Skills:** Learn techniques essential for developing large-scale applications that can handle high traffic and complex data operations.
3. **Industry-Standard Tools:** Gain hands-on experience with widely-used technologies like Spring Boot, Swagger, and Spring Security, enhancing your marketability in the job market.
4. **Best Practices:** Understand RESTful design principles and security best practices that are crucial for building professional-grade APIs.
5. **Practical Experience:** Through hands-on exercises, you'll build a fully functional API that you can use as a template for future projects.
6. **Bridge the Gap:** For frontend developers, this course offers insights into backend operations, facilitating better full-stack understanding and collaboration.
7. **Stay Current:** REST APIs are the backbone of modern web and mobile applications. This course keeps you updated with the latest in API development trends.

By the end of this workshop, you'll have the skills to design, build, document, and secure RESTful APIs, setting a strong foundation for developing microservices and large-scale applications in Java. More importantly, you'll walk away with:

1. A fully functional, production-ready REST API codebase that you've built yourself
2. Practical experience in implementing CRUD operations, API documentation, and security measures
3. A working Spring Boot project that you can immediately integrate into your backend applications
4. Hands-on knowledge of how to extend and customize your API for specific business needs
5. The ability to showcase a real-world project to potential employers or clients
6. Confidence in your ability to create robust, scalable, and secure web services

This workshop doesn't just teach theory – it provides you with a concrete, working example that you can use as a template or starting point for your own projects. Whether you're looking to enhance your current applications, start a new project, or boost your career prospects, you'll leave this workshop with practical, applicable skills and code that you can put to use right away.

**Tools Required:**
Before attending the workshop, please ensure you have the following tools installed and configured on your machine:

1. **IntelliJ IDEA**: We recommend the latest version of IntelliJ IDEA (Community or Ultimate edition). This powerful IDE will be our primary development environment.
2. **Java Development Kit (JDK) 21**: Ensure you have JDK 21 installed. We'll be using the latest features of Java in our API development.
3. **Postman**: This tool will be essential for testing our API endpoints. Please install the latest version.
4. **Web Browser**: Google Chrome or Brave Browser. We'll use these for viewing our Swagger documentation and potentially for other web-based tools.
5. **Git**: Make sure you have Git installed for version control.
6. **Maven or Gradle**: We'll use one of these build tools in our project. Both will be discussed, but having at least one installed is necessary.

Please make sure all these tools are installed and working correctly before the workshop. This will ensure you can participate fully in all exercises and get the most out of the training.
If you encounter any issues with installation or setup, please contact the workshop organizers for assistance prior to the start date.
