Pro RESTful APIs with Micronaut (Second Edition) is a comprehensive guide to building modern web services and applications using the Micronaut framework. It covers the fundamentals of RESTful APIs, including REST, JSON, XML, JAX-RS, SOAP, and more, and provides practical examples and case studies to help you get started. The book is based on a course the author is teaching for UC Santa Cruz Silicon Valley, which covers architecture, design best practices, and coding labs. The book is divided into three parts: Part 1: Introduction to RESTful APIs and Micronaut Part 2: Building Microservices with Micronaut Part 3: Advanced Topics in Micronaut The first part of the book introduces RESTful APIs and Micronaut, including their history, principles, and benefits. It also covers the basics of HTTP, RESTful principles, and the HTTP request-response cycle. In the second part of the book, you will learn how to build microservices with Micronaut. You will start by creating a simple microservice and then gradually add more features and complexity. You will also learn about the different components of a microservice, such as the service interface, the service implementation, and the configuration. In the third part of the book, you will learn about advanced topics in Micronaut, such as reactive programming, security, and performance optimization. You will also learn how to integrate Micronaut with other technologies, such as Spring Boot and Kubernetes. The book includes a lot of examples and case studies that help you understand the concepts better. The examples are written in Java, but the concepts can be applied to other programming languages as well. The book also includes a GitHub page where you can find the source code for the examples and case studies. The GitHub page also includes a discussion forum where you can ask questions and get help from other developers. Overall, Pro RESTful APIs with Micronaut (Second Edition) is a great book for anyone who wants to learn how to build modern web services and applications using the Micronaut framework. It covers the fundamentals of RESTful APIs, provides practical examples and case studies, and is suitable for experienced Java and web programmers and developers who may be new to microservices and even cloud-native applications development.
Discover the RESTful technologies, including REST, JSON, XML, JAX-RS web services, SOAP, and more, for building today's Java-based microservices, big data applications, and web service applications using the Micronaut framework. This book is based on a course the Oracle-based author is teaching for UC Santa Cruz Silicon Valley, which covers architecture, design best practices, and coding labs.

Pro RESTful APIs with Micronaut (Second Edition) gives you all the fundamentals from the top down: from the top (architecture) through the middle (design) to the bottom (coding).
