Creating a RESTful API in Java for planning IT conferences was a challenging yet rewarding experience that put my Java and backend development skills to the test. The project was commissioned by a IT company, aiming to simulate the conference planning process and enhance the user experience.
Using Java with Spring Boot, I started building a simple yet feature-rich API that catered to the diverse needs of conference attendees and organizers. The functionalities of the API were carefully designed to meet the demands of the dynamic conference environment:
1. The user can view the conference agenda.
2. After providing his login, the user can store the lectures he has signed up for.
3. If there is still space available for the lecture, the user can make a reservation.
4. If a user with a given login already exists in the system, but with a different e-mail address, the system should display the message "The login provided is already taken".
5. Correct execution of the confirmation that takes place after the address is issued.
6. The user may cancel the reservation.
7. The user may have his own e-mail address.
8. The system allows you to display a list of users with their e-mail addresses.
9. Generating a summary for the organizer:
This project not only showcased my skills with Java and Spring Boot in backend development but also highlighted the importance of designing user-centric features in API development.
