Course Description
This course is exclusively designed for beginners to understand Spring Boot fundamentals for Back end Rest Services/API Development and ability to perform white Box TESTING such as Unit Testing , Integration testing for the code using various Testing Frameworks like Mockito, MockMVC, Junit, Rest Template etc
This course is divided into 2 Phases
Phase 1:
Introduction to Back End Development - Phase 1 explains the fundamentals of Spring Boot including JPA to develop Rest Services/API’s /Micro Services for Real time Applications from Scratch.
No programming Experience needed to start with this course. I have covered everything needed to make you familiar with every concept taught in the course
Phase 2:
Unit/Integration Testing - After Solid Understanding of Rest Services development using Spring Boot in Phase 1, Phase 2 explains how to write Unit Tests and Integration Tests for the developed Phase 1 Code using Testing Frameworks like Mockito, MockMVC, Junit & RestTemplate with H2 Databases
All Testing (White Box Testing) Frameworks concepts are given with Scratch level explanation.
By end of this course, one can start building Rest Services/API’s with Spring Boot and write Solid Unit Tests and Integration tests to test their code as per Industry Standards
This course can be a great resource to Junior Developers and especially to SDET's to get involved into White Box testing Strategies to better understand code and write solid Unit/Integration Tests.

This is a wonderful and informative course, especially for QA professionals who want to gain a solid foundational understanding of how Java backend developers create APIs and write unit/integration tests. The content is clear and practical, making it easier to grasp core Spring Boot concepts. It has certainly boosted my confidence in understanding backend application workflows and improved my ability to collaborate more effectively with development teams.

I have taken several sources with Rahul Shetty, as he is my "go to" trainer and inspiration. His in-depth, conversational and relaxed style is very attractive and he teaches in a way that many do not. He teaches from scratch, right in front of you, and you have the opportunity to code right along with him so his courses are very interactive. There are even more quizzes than usual in this course compared to other Rahul Shetty courses, which aid in understanding. Spring Boot is something I knew very little about so I am enjoying this learning journey.

This is a really good course, especially the phase 2 part where testing is covered. Entirely hands on and detailed. Only thing I think is missed out, given the name of the course(says 'fundementals') is that the trainer should've has showed the industry standard way of writing rest apis, right from the starting. Just a way of imbibing good design practice in the minds of the learners. Anyway, I'm grateful.

I have been upgrading my qa skills by watching Rahul Shetty's videos always..this time as per project requirement had to work on development using spring boot and as usual found this course very useful.Very well explained on the basics

First of all, I appreciate Rahul Shetty for coming up with this course which has room for both backend development as well as backend testing. It's not easy to design such a breadth of a course that would help people who are not from development backgrounds. This course is useful without a doubt. Said that this course somehow fell short of being a spectacular one. Screens and Editor Views Rahul has the habit of having crowded windows in most of his lectures [I took API Automation and Appium courses as well]. For example, he won't close the eclipse editor windows like "Outline", "Task", etc. "You'll feel like shouting what are those windows gonna do with our course? Why can't close that and give me some space to view what you're teaching?" Also, Rahul's habit of not wrapping the text or say never minding the horizontal bars in his editors is too tiresome. You need to rewind the video, again and again, to get the full picture when you are trying to build the concepts he's teaching. To be more specific, in this course, Lecture 30 (if I'm not wrong) makes me tired when he increases and decreases the screen size of a java class which he refuses to switch between explaining the Unit Testing of update or delete logic. Code Indentation Rahul never does code indentation. Throughout the course I would want to gift him Ctrl + Shift + F. People like @Chad Darby do code indentation, take extra white spaces, and maximize the eclipse class windows only for the sake of improving the students' concentration on heavy topics like these. Without code indentation, the magic dies in the readability. Suppose, if we come back after a few days or say when we revisit the course during interview preps, this makes anyone give up easily. I'm sure Rahul doesn't like that. Support Luckily, I took this course after its maturity, and people who took this course like me gave solutions wherever I got struck. Especially Mary's comment on H2 In-Memory DB Initialization was a lifesaver. If you're reading this review, then "Thank you, Mary!". When the course needs some to be updated, responding promptly increases the respect and trust to come back again for another course. Overall, this course is useful and no doubt about that but, Rahul is a good teacher with a bad or say a poor blackboard!

This was a good course to get first hand experience of spring boot world at beginner level. Rahul explanation was good & his delivery is engaging for sure, however this course seems obsolete now especially the testing stuff & require urgent update.
By Sowjanya Seth on 9/13/2021
This course is a perfect blend of theory and practicals. It also gives us a broad overview of Spring Boot and covers the most important concepts required in IT world. Course content is crisp to the point and sufficient for any beginner in this area. I liked the instructors way of teaching which kept the sessions more engaging. Thank you sir for such an amazing course.
By Srushti Sharma on 9/13/2021
Very well explained all the concepts of Spring boot fundamentals in layman terms. It's really worth spending money on this course as it really helped me to gain the practical knowledge. This course is very well articulated with all the necessary assignments and quizes. Very much loved the course and thanks again to the instructor. This is by far the best course on Spring Boot.
By Anonymized User on 6/27/2021
Content is good for beginners. I will recommend to watch this course in 2X because the way he explains can exhaust you at 1X speed. He well explained all the concepts but some of the things he explained unnecessarily I think. This course is highly recommended for beginners.

This is an one of the wonderful course for the people QA people who assigned to SDET role. In this course you will learn entire Restful service development and testing. I have learnt alot and implemented the same in my client project and got appreciation because I have understood the concept with in a short span. Thank you Rahul for this wonderful course and am expecting the frontend development course very soon.
