The "REST With Spring Boot" Course in a nutshell:


  • Build a REST API with Spring
  • Set a good foundation for a REST API - understand the semantics of REST, HTTP verbs, good URI practices and status codes
  • Beyond the basics - document, test, evolve, and include discoverability and hypermedia-driven features.
  • Work your way through a fully-operational project
  • Lifetime access to all current lessons, including future updates
  • Learn at your own pace
  • Multiple-choice questions
  • A Certificate of Completion
  • 20-day money-back guarantee

The canonical reference for building a production grade REST API with Spring Boot.

The 6 modules cover designing the API using recommended best practices and high-standard specifications, all with a critical and detail-oriented mindset.

In addition to the insightful guides on implementation, you’ll also get the knowledge needed to understand the difference between documenting and discovering an API, and learn different options for testing and safely evolving an API.

Everything I wish I had access to when I built my first API with Spring.

Frequently Asked Questions


How long do I have access to the course? Does the material expire?
Access never goes away. Once you're enrolled in the course - you have access to it indefinitely. It doesn't expire, there is no time limit, and you can revisit the lessons as much as you like. The platform will keep track of your progress as you finish each module so you can pick up where you left off at any time.
Do you offer support?
Yes, of course, I handle support myself, directly over email. You can (and should) already reach out and ask.
What if I am unhappy with the course? Can I ask for a refund?
That's absolutely fine, of course. If the material doesn't work for you, definitely get in touch within 20 days and you'll get a full refund for any single course package. It's all documented in the refund policy here.
Can I see some full lessons before deciding?
Definitely - it makes no sense buying a course without going through a few lessons and making sure it's a good fit. There are several open lessons in the course - you can simply go back to the course page and search for the word "preview" there.
What's the difference between the Master class and Certification class?
The certification class contains the same material as the Master Class and goes beyond it with:
  • The Certificate of Completion (an example Certificate is linked from another question here)
  • The sets of multiple-choice questions in each lesson
Why did you release Version 2 of the course?
Good question 🙂
Simply put, building a REST API well is as important today as it was when I first created the material.
And, even though the codebase was always up-to-date, I wanted to go deeper and have an easier-to-follow structure.
That had to mean a fully new version, structured, guided, and built from the ground up.
That's basically why V2 exists.
