RESTful Services, Part 4 of 5: Install, JAX-RS, and Jersey

Course description

In this course you’ll see a brief history of RESTful Web Services and how they are integral to modern web applications. You’ll see how to setup your computer to begin developing JAX-RS and Jersey applications, specifically by leveraging Maven scaffold applications from the command line.

Each LearnNowOnline training course is made up of Modules (typically an hour in length). Within each module there are Topics (typically 15-30 minutes each) and Subtopics (typically 2-5 minutes each). There is a Post Exam for each Module that must be passed with a score of 70% or higher to successfully and fully complete the course.

Prerequisites

This course assumes that the users have experience coding with Java and RESTful Services. You should have already viewed the “RESTful Services: Overview and JAX-RS,” “RESTful Services: Injection and Sub Resources” and “RESTful Services: Response, Form and Exceptions” courses before viewing this course if you are not familiar with RESTful Services.
