Want to get more out of the Java language and platform? In this platform- and framework-neutral course, instructor Bethan Palmer digs into some of the language’s more advanced features, helping you expand your programming skills as she equips you with techniques you can use when building applications anywhere Java is used: in web, mobile, and desktop applications. Bethan covers a variety of topics, including generics, working with the Collections Framework, and functional programming. Plus, learn about I/O in Java, working with files and directories, and structuring applications using the modular system available in Java. Learning objectives : Installing the NetBeans IDE Using generic methods in Java Using wildcards in generic programming Implementing a queue with a LinkedList Functional programming in Java Multi-threading Working with I/O in Java Managing files and directories Apply for this course

Most people have heard of RESTful APIs, but the underlying concept—representational state transfer (REST)—still causes confusion. REST is all about modeling resources that change. RESTful APIs use REST architecture along with HTTP requests to transfer data and changes in application state between clients and servers. This course breaks down the principles of RESTful design and show how to build secure RESTful APIs on top of ASP.NET Core. Nate Barbettini answers questions such as: What is RESTful design? How do you perform RESTful routing? How can you build reusable classes to represent resources? What role does caching play? And how do you secure RESTful APIs? He also covers topics such as data modeling, hypermedia relationships, and authentication and authorization. By the end of the course, you should know the basics—how to properly request and return data in ASP.NET Core—and the best practices for building secure and scalable APIs to serve web clients, mobile clients, and beyond. Topics include: What is RESTful design? Building a new API with ASP.NET Core Using HTTP methods Returning JSON Creating RESTful routing with templates Versioning Securing RESTful APIs with HTTPS Representing resources Representing links Representing collections Sorting and searching collections Building forms Adding caching to an ASP.NET Core API Configuring user authentication and authorization Apply for this course

The ability to successfully build a RESTful web service is an essential skill in today's Internet-dominated industry. In this course, learn how to develop a RESTful client and server application using the Java Enterprise Edition implementation of the REST architectural style, JAX-RS API 2.0. This powerful and fully-featured API enshrines industry best practices as it integrates seamlessly with other essential APIs such as Bean Validation and JSON Processing. Join Alex Theedom as he guides you through a wide range of topics, including how to define resource endpoints, how to add dynamism to your application with hypermedia, how to maintain data integrity with Bean Validation, and how to process messages with the JSON Processing API. Once you have completed this course, you'll be ready to develop your own client and server RESTful APIs. Topics include: Discover the extent of JAX-RS's features Use the annotation methodology Use the inheritance methodology Define a REST contract and API root Create the REST resource entity Create the REST resource methods Understand consumers and producers Work with different media types Define and work with path parameters Build a REST response and handle exceptions Implement Bean Validation and manage failures Create a RESTful client that consumes the web service Use JSON-P API with the REST client Implement hypermedia (HATEOAS) Apply for this course

The Spring developers are always listening to feedback and feature requests. They have responded with Spring 5, a version that's packed with exciting new enhancements. This course gets you up to speed with the latest and greatest in Spring Framework 5.0 and Spring Boot 2.0, including reactive Spring and Spring Actuator. Instructor Frank Moley covers the new support structure for Java 8 and Java EE 7, and explains which packages, classes, and methods have been removed. Next, learn about the changes to Servlet 3 and 4, data binding for immutable objects, and the spring-web-reactive module for reactive programming. Then explore the integration for Junit Jupiter, parallel test execution, and mock environments. Finally, review the changes in Spring Boot, including third-party library upgrades and Spring Boot Actuator for monitoring the health of production applications. Topics include: Spring core changes Spring web changes Spring test changes Spring Boot changes Apply for this course

Learn how to choose the right Java API for your application and get started coding with XML and Java. In this course, author David Gassner shows you how to read and create XML strings and files, decide whether to use a streaming or tree-based API, and find out which APIs are compatible with Android. Plus, discover how to use both standard APIs that are included with the Java SE and EE distributions, such as DOM, SAX, and JAXB, and learn about popular open-source libraries such as JDOM and the Simple XML Serialization framework. Topics include: Choosing a Java-based XML API Reading XML as a string Comparing streaming and tree-based APIs Parsing XML with SAX Creating and reading XML with DOM Adding data to an XML document with JDOM Reading and writing XML with StAX Working with JAXB and annotated classes Comparing Simple XML Serialization to JAXB Apply for this course

If you want to build applications for mobile devices, desktop computers, or the web, you need to know Java. This course provides the foundation for learning Java SE (Standard Edition), so you can build your first apps or start exploring the language on your own. Author David Gassner shows how to install Java and the IntelliJ IDEA IDE, and start working with variables, data types, keywords, and other critical language components. He also helps you control program flow with conditional logic and loops, store data with the Java Collections Framework, and understand how Java implements object-oriented coding principles such as inheritance and polymorphism. Topics include: Understanding the history and principles of Java Installing Java, IntelliJ IDEA, and BlueJ Creating a Java project Working with variables, values, and expressions Working with object data types Building, comparing, and parsing strings Debugging and exception handling Creating loops and reusable code Passing arguments by reference or value Using simple and complex arrays Creating custom classes Understanding inheritance and polymorphism Managing files with Java libraries Documenting code with Javadoc Packaging classes in JAR files Apply for this course

The Java Persistence API (JPA) is the standard for mapping Java objects to relational databases. JPA provides several advantages over traditional data access methods like Java Database Connectivity (JDBC). In this practical course, Kesha Williams discusses these advantages and acquaints you with the basics of JPA, entity management, transaction management, and relationship mapping. Upon completing this course, you'll be equipped with a firm understanding of JPA and persisting data in Java enterprise applications. Topics include: What is persistence? JPA configuration and entities Benefits of JPA over pure JDBC Managing entities with the EntityManager API Creating, persisting, reading, updating, and deleting objects Managing transactions Advanced mapping techniques using annotations How to map relationships Apply for this course
