Description

This course is for Java developers who want to discover Quarkus. It’s a mixture of slides and code so you can “Understand and Practice” at the same time. This way, you learn the theory, and then put it into practice by developing an application step by step.

In this course you will go through an entire development cycle. After introducing Quarkus, you will make sure your development environment is set up, and you will go from bootstrapping a Quarkus application, to running it as a Docker container. The different steps you’ll go through are:

Understand Quarkus,
Check your development environment,
Get your hands on Quarkus,
Expose a REST endpoint using JAX-RS,
Inject beans with CDI,
Test the REST endpoint with JUnit and RESTAssured,
Configure the application with MicroProfile Configuration
Configure Quarkus,
Add profiles to the configuration,
Build executable JARs
Build a native executable and a Linux executable with GraalVM,
Check the performances of a Quarkus application,
Containerize the application with Docker and execute it.

At the end of the course you’ll get a good understanding of Quarkus. You will be able to bootstrap, develop, package and execute a REST application, but most important, take Quarkus to your next project.
