So why bother with Java EE?

We are going to answer this question by showing how easy it is to build modern Java applications using most of the Java EE specs. And, the key ingredient to succeeding here is Eclipse Microprofile: enterprise Java in the age of microservices.

The application we are going to build is RESTful web API to manage people; it's as simple as that. The standard way to build RESTful web services in Java is by using JAX-RS 2.1 (JSR-370). Consequently, CDI 2.0 (JSR-365) is going to take care of dependency injection, whereas JPA 2.0 (JSR-317) is going to cover the data access layer. And certainly, Bean Validation 2.0 (JSR-380) is helping us to deal with input verification.

About this course
Skip Course Description

In order to be effective, leaders need a high tolerance of complexity. Beyond this, they need to inform their people and the outside world of their strategies, policies and decisions. Effective leaders are often inspiring communicators - their own high tolerance of complexity helps them reduce this complexity to a concise and powerful message.

Your sensemaking mindset is therefore of critical importance to motivate others to follow and support you. Your ability to inspire and convince is largely dependent on the way you frame your message, and on your skills at playing the game of framing and reframing. You will learn from a large variety of (video) cases and analyse a large number of situations where leaders’ communication and sensemaking skills are tested and probed. This will ensure that you are equipped to build winning coalitions in your own organization.
