This is a comprehensive course about REST API development, from understanding REST API Core Concepts to API Design Best Practices and Implementing APIs with Spring Boot; from Securing APIs to Testing APIs; from Documenting APIs to Deploying APIs.

This course is also about development of different kinds of REST Client applications such as Web app (Spring MVC), React app, desktop app (Java Swing) and mobile app (Android).

• What You Will Learn to Build:

Through this comprehensive course, you will learn to build Weather APIs Service using Spring Boot with MySQL Database.

Then you will learn to build a React application for managing weather data.

Use Spring MVC to build a web application for managing users and API clients.

And another Spring MVC application for a Weather Forecast website.

Then you will learn to build a sample mobile app that displays embedded weather information, using Android.

Finally, you will learn to build a Java desktop application with Swing, that demonstrates updating weather data from a weather station.

The React app, Weather Forecast website, Android app and Swing app are consumers of the Weather APIs Service.
