Hot on the heels of Spring Data's Codd GA release, there is a new Getting Started guide for Spring Data REST, Accessing Data with REST. It shows you how to create up an application with a JPA backend and a RESTful, hypermedia-driven front end.

Spring Data REST does all the heavy lifting of building a powerful RESTful front end as well as writing the JPA queries for the back end. To top it off, the guide leverages Spring Boot so you are using the latest-and-greatest from the Spring team.

Cheers!
