Description

Introduction:In this course, you’ll learn how to build a complete Employee Management System using Spring Boot and RESTful APIs. This hands-on course takes you through each step of creating an enterprise-grade application, including setting up Spring Boot, designing a database schema, implementing CRUD operations for employees and departments, and exposing data via RESTful APIs. By the end of this course, you’ll be able to develop full-fledged Spring Boot applications that can interact with a database, perform business logic, and respond to HTTP requests through APIs.Section-Wise Writeup:Section 1: IntroductionThe first section introduces you to the course goals, project structure, and the technologies used to build the Employee Management System.Lecture 1: Introduction to Project – Overview of the project and its objectives.Lecture 2: Creating a Project and Adding Dependencies – Setting up a Spring Boot project using Maven, and adding the necessary dependencies to get started.Section 2: Schema ClassIn this section, you’ll define the database schema classes, which are essential for structuring the employee and department data.Lecture 3: Creating Department Class – Learn how to design the Department class to store department-specific data.Lecture 4: Creating Employee Class – Develop the Employee class that will store employee-specific information and define relationships with the Department class.Section 3: Repository and ServicesYou’ll implement repositories and services in this section to manage data and business logic for employees and departments.Lecture 5: Department Repositories – Understand how to create repositories for the Department entity that will handle data persistence and CRUD operations.Lecture 6: Department Service – Create a service class to manage the business logic for departments.Lecture 7: Employee Service – Develop the service layer for employee data handling and interaction with the database.Section 4: ControllerThis section focuses on developing RESTful APIs using Spring Boot controllers to expose the services created in the previous section.Lecture 8: Department Controller – Learn to create the Department controller, which exposes API endpoints for managing departments.Lecture 9: Department Controller Continue – Extend the Department controller with additional features and API endpoints.Lecture 10: Employee Controller – Create the Employee controller to expose APIs for managing employee data.Section 5: Main File and PropertiesIn this section, you’ll configure the application’s main class and properties file to set up the environment and database.Lecture 11: Main File – Set up the main Spring Boot application class to launch your Employee Management System.Lecture 12: Properties File – Learn to configure the properties file to manage database connections and other application settings.Conclusion:Upon completing this course, you’ll have developed a fully functional Employee Management System with Spring Boot and RESTful APIs. You’ll gain hands-on experience in backend development, learning how to design and build a backend system that can handle employee and department data, expose APIs, and interact with a database. This course provides the foundation for building more complex applications and will be a valuable addition to your developer skillset.
