The first week we were installing and configuring the tools we are going to use and we have done a small individual exercise in Spring in which we had to connect to Elasticsearch and test it.

Week 2

Introduction to Spring

27/02/2023 - 03/03/2023

Key learning points

  1. Introduction to Spring Framework

In this session we got an introduction to Spring, how to inject dependencies, and the layered arquitecture we will use for the projects.
Our first assignment consisted of making a component that could connect to Elastic and connecting our service classes to said component. We had to make test to ensure this connection is established correctly and itrs referenced correctly. Also, we had to use Docker to be able to run our application and the Elasticsearch container.

Web APIs

Key learning points

  1. Introduction to HTTP and HTTP verbs
  2. Introduction to REST

The second session was about web APIs. In it we learned about the HTTP protocol, as well as HTTP verbs such as GET, POST, PUT, and their correct uses. Also we talked about REST and its uses, as well as its architecture and how this is tied to out assignments on Spring. We had to do an individual exercise of creating an API for a CRUD of users using the HTTP verbs.

Here are the links for the GitHub repositories from the Backend&Search academies for the assignments:

  2. Use of Async notation

In this third week we couldn’t have the learning session but we were told to complete the Web Api exercise with a method that should upload a MultipartFile and then another with the same functionality but using the @Async annotation. The implementation of this approach can be found in the exercise 2 solution.
