Advanced Java Practical Programming. Build Enterprise-Grade Applications with Modern Java, Spring Boot, REST APIs, SQL, Microservices, Security, Testing, Docker, Cloud and AI-Assisted Development - Voon Kiong Liew

Master advanced Java programming by building a complete real-world backend system from the ground up.

Java Practical Programming is a hands-on guide for developers who want to move beyond basic syntax and learn how Java is used in professional backend development. Instead of focusing only on theory, this book guides you through practical application design, database programming, REST API development, Spring Boot, security, testing, Docker deployment, monitoring, external integrations, and AI-assisted backend features.

You will begin with advanced Java concepts such as object-oriented design, collections, streams, exception handling, file processing, and JDBC. Then you will progress into Spring Boot, where you will build a complete Inventory and Order Management backend with products, customers, orders, authentication, role-based security, validation, global error handling, API documentation, testing, Docker deployment, and production-readiness practices.

This book also introduces modern backend topics such as cloud-native architecture, microservices concepts, event-driven design, webhooks, external API integration, monitoring, observability, performance tuning, and AI-powered inventory insights.

Inside this book, you will learn how to:

This book is suitable for Java developers, students, software engineers, and backend developers who already understand basic Java and want to build practical, production-style applications.

By the end of the book, you will have a complete blueprint for building an advanced Java backend system using modern tools and professional development practices.

If you want to strengthen your Java skills and learn how real backend systems are designed, secured, tested, deployed, and maintained, this book is for you.
