Learn how to design and deploy RESTful APIs with Spring Boot by building a hands-on Employee Management System project. In this course, you will create the backend foundation of a Spring Boot application, develop domain entities, and implement repository and service layers using Spring Data JPA. You will then build RESTful API endpoints, configure controller classes, and manage application behavior through Spring Boot configuration files.

Designed for learners who want practical experience with Spring Boot REST API development, this course emphasizes a structured, project-based approach to building scalable backend applications. You'll apply annotation-based programming, organize application layers using industry-standard design patterns, and implement RESTful services for managing employee and department resources. By the end of the course, you will be able to construct a Spring Boot project, develop cleanly separated service and data access layers, create RESTful controllers, and configure application startup and server properties. If you want to strengthen your Spring Boot and REST API development skills through a focused Employee Management System project, this course provides a practical learning experience from project setup to API implementation.

This module introduces learners to the foundational setup of a RESTful API-based Employee Management System using Spring Boot. It covers the initial project creation, configuration of dependencies, and development of core domain classes such as Department and Employee. The module further guides learners through designing repositories and service layers that form the structural and business logic foundation of the application. By the end of this module, learners will have constructed a fully functional backend scaffold with cleanly separated concerns using industry-standard patterns.

This module focuses on creating and configuring the API endpoints necessary for managing employee and department data in a RESTful service architecture. Learners will design controller classes to handle HTTP requests, structure the main application entry point, and apply essential Spring Boot configuration using the application.properties file. The emphasis is on practical implementation of RESTful design principles and fine-tuning runtime behavior through modular, annotation-based programming.
