About REST Microservices with Spring Boot, Maven, JPA and Docker

This course is about microservices with Spring Boot and Maven. In this course we are going to talk about the basics of professional software engineering such as how to separate the code into multiple modules or how to use a build framework to build the final application. 

Before developing the micorservices from scratch - that wire all the included technologies together - we will consider these technologies on a one by one basis.
