Materials

Text books: Course is based on:

"Spring Boot in Action" by Craig Walls:
This book provides a comprehensive guide to building web applications, including RESTful web services, using Spring Boot. It covers the fundamentals of Spring Boot and how to create RESTful APIs with it.

"Spring Microservices in Action" by John Carnell:
While this book focuses on microservices architecture, it extensively covers creating RESTful APIs with Spring Boot as a fundamental part of building microservices. It's a great choice if you're interested in microservices-based RESTful services.

"Mastering Spring Boot 2.0" by Dinesh Rajput:
This book covers advanced topics related to Spring Boot, including RESTful web services. It's suitable for those who have a basic understanding of Spring Boot and want to dive deeper into building RESTful APIs.

"Spring REST" by Balaji Varanasi and Sudha Belida:
This book, mentioned earlier in the context of RESTful web services in general, is also a good resource if you're specifically interested in using Spring for building RESTful APIs.

"Building RESTful Web Services with Spring 5" by Ludovic Dewailly and Alexandre Chapellon:
This book focuses on Spring 5 and covers building RESTful web services using the latest features of the Spring framework, making it a valuable resource for staying up-to-date with Spring technology.

"Spring Boot 2.0 Cookbook" by Alex Antonov:
This book provides practical recipes for building various types of applications with Spring Boot, including RESTful web services. It's a hands-on guide with real-world examples.

The chapters from 18 to 20 will be skipped.

The book is (at the course beginning) available In Ebook Central.

Content scheduling

Contents:

During this course
1) a backend web server with GrahpQL API is implemented together with related
2) React based web client and
3) React Native based mobile client.

In this order.

Also an authentication process is implemented. Attention is paid for the architecture of the solution.

In the teamwork the students can elaborate more deeply on the subject by creating their own web site with mobile access.

The instructors will provide with one teamwork subject, but the students can select a different subject as long as it satisfies the requirements set in the teamwork commission and utilizes GraphQL and React Native.

Technology:

- JavaScript
- Node.js
- Express.js web framework
- GraphQL API with Apollo
- GraphQL Playground
- MongoDB database with Mongoose
- JSON Web Tokens
- React
- React native


Contact lessons: Theory, programming together, demos and some support to working in teams.
