In this course, you will cover the most important aspects of Spring Boot including auto-configuration, database integration, and webservices.

Throughout this course, you will build a fully functional application called the “Elite Club” which any browser can connect to. The initial version of the application will expose one rest endpoint to return the hardcoded list of elite clubs. The subsequent chapter will be improving the application by adding new features.

By the end of this course, you will be well equipped to build enterprise and web applications.

Building Enterprise Applications with Spring Boot

# What we’ll build
We will now build the Elite Club application, which any browser can connect to.

The initial version of the application will expose one  RESTendpoint to return the hardcoded list of Elite Clubs. The subsequent chapter will be improving the application by adding new features.


# What we’ll need
For this, we will need an **Integrated Developer Environment (IDE).**

Popular choices include IntelliJ IDEA, Spring Tools, Visual Studio Code, and Eclipse. We will use IntelliJ IDEA for this course.


# Creating our first project
Pivotal web service provides us with tools to generate skeleton projects within a few clicks. Spring Initializer is one such  tool.

> Note: The steps below are for local setup. On the platform, we have the widget where we will run this code without requiring any IDE or local setup.

## Step 1 - Spring initializer
We will use start.spring.io to create a “web” project. In the “Dependencies” dialog, we need to search for and add the “web” dependency as shown in the screenshot. Then, we will hit the “Generate” button, download the zip, and unpack it into a folder on our computer. We’ll then select the below options.
* Java 8
* Maven
* Group- **com.club** 
* Artifact id- **eliteclub**
