Join me for a comprehensive session designed to take you through building a secure, full-stack Jakarta EE application from scratch!

Over the past years, I've taught groups of junior developers the intricacies of Java and Jakarta EE, and we happened to encounter various challenges in securing a REST application with JWT and connecting it to a frontend. Let's address these challenges together during this talk by:

- Live-coding a RESTful app from scratch using the latest versions of JAX-RS, JPA, and MicroProfile.
- Implementing JWT-based authentication.
- Documenting REST endpoints with OpenAPI.
- Connecting an Angular frontend to the REST app.

Along the way, you’ll hear about key concepts like CDI beans, EJBs, dependency injection, DTOs, password encryption, and JWT structure & verification. Not the biggest fan of theory? Don’t worry - I'll include as much live-coding as possible, which makes this talk is perfect for developers who want to master practical Jakarta EE application development and security.
