A smarter way to learn with interactive, real-time conversations that help you test your knowledge, challenge assumptions, and deepen your understanding as you progress through the course. Master token-based security with this hands-on JWT bootcamp tailored for Java and Spring Boot developers. You'll gain practical knowledge of implementing robust authentication and authorization systems, working with role-based access controls, and integrating security into real-world service-based applications. You’ll begin with a foundational understanding of JWT, setting up your development environment, and progressively building out a secure backend with Spring Boot. The course then delves into user and role entity management, crafting authentication flows, configuring security filters, handling exceptions, and refining security layers. In the next phase, you'll design a multi-role application with separate functionalities for admins, providers, and consumers. You'll learn to create and secure CRUD operations, leveraging best practices for scalable, secure API development and testing with Postman. This course is ideal for backend developers, Java programmers, and Spring Boot enthusiasts looking to deepen their security implementation skills. Prior experience with Java and basic web development is recommended.
