Java Backend Development in Action: Real-World Java: Hotel Booking System with Spring Boot

Rather than teaching Java through isolated code snippets or theoretical concepts, this book takes you through the complete process of building a full-stack hotel booking backend system using Spring Boot, MySQL, REST APIs, JWT security, and more.

You’ll walk step-by-step through real-world challenges:

Designing a relational database and mapping JPA entities

Building modular, layered architecture (Controller–Service–Repository)

Securing APIs with Spring Security and JWT authentication

Implementing real booking logic with date conflict validation

Adding admin tools, availability search, and user dashboards

Testing with Postman and preparing for deployment

This book is project-based, hands-on, and grounded in the real development experience—not just "toy examples." It's perfect for:

Students building a strong Java portfolio

Self-taught developers transitioning to backend engineering

Instructors looking for practical curriculum

Teams building MVPs or prototypes

With clear explanations, full source code, and best practices, Real-World Java equips you not just to understand backend systems—but to build, secure, and scale them with confidence.

Build with purpose. Code like it matters
