From the course: Building RESTful Web Services with DropWizard

RESTful web services with Dropwizard

- [Andy] DropWizard is a modern Java RESTful API framework that allows you to build back-end applications quickly. If you have some Java experience and are looking to build a REST API with DropWizard, you've come to the right place. Hi, I'm Andy Henri, and in the past I've worked on several projects where we leveraged DropWizard as a back-end. It'll be my pleasure to explore how to get started with this user-friendly framework. First, we'll take a look at the different pieces we'll use in this course as well as getting our project started. Next, we'll take a deep dive into the foundational classes available in DropWizard. Then we'll continue building a REST API by adding the data model and then create our end points. Finally, we'll move on to test our application and explore JAR compilation for distribution. So if you're ready to learn how to build a REST API with the DropWizard framework, open up your favorite editor, and let's get started.
