Spring Framework 5
Beginner to Guru

This course on Udemy is pretty good and they have frequent sales, no need to pay full price. John Thompson is a pretty good tutor and has a decent Slack channel for those who enrol in his courses.

That said, while Spring has its uses, it’s worth being clear why you need it. Simply learning it because it’s in demand is a poor reason in my view because job checklist demands change all the time. For instance J2EE was all the rage once. Spring does take time to learn and it’s not clear to me that it’ll still be popular by the time a new learner today gets good at it.

You don’t need it for DI — Guice works well, and newer frameworks like Micronaut do just fine without it.

You don’t need it for Microservices (Spring Boot etc) — Dropwizard, SparkJava etc are pretty good.

In corporate environments Spring Batch and Integration are still pretty popular but even there Airflow and Apache Beam are making inroads.

I'm going through Spring Framework 5: Beginner To Guru and finding it quite informative.

It covers most of the basis that we are using in the project I'm working at the moment (your generic CRUD enterprise application) and it gets into some stuff that can be useful and interesting to know.

This said, the course jumps a bit from topic to topic (and instead of doing a single project, it jumps from two smaller projects and "the big project") and there's a lot of filling that, maybe, if you are very junior can find interesting, but that if you have already worked with this kind of architecture feels like that, just filling that is not really related to Spring.

Overall is fine (specially taking into account that it uses to be at 10-12$ when on sale), and it works pretty well as a guide to the basic spring setup.

This said, I see myself stopping the course over and over to find more in depth explanations of this or that feature, as I usually look for a more in depth explanation of the topics touched.

I'd like to put this course into the list too.

I've heard this one and the one by Chad Darby to be really good ones.

The one i linked uses IntelliJ throughout their course.

I was in same position as you couple days ago. I cannot remember the exact reasons as to why i chose this one over Chad Darby. But i remember one reason, stated by a reddit user was that Chad Darby reviews the code he does, instead of live typing it.

I heard some bad reviews regarding Tim Buchalka's course, where someone on reddit said how Tim Buchalka himself was not happy with his spring course and plan to re-do it.

Have a browse through reddits, there are many posts like this with recommendations.

Hi, great tutorial: https://www.udemy.com/course/spring-framework-5-beginner-to-guru + https://gradle.org/guides/ Happy coding!

Well, consuming a REST api with Postman is not that hard and it is pretty straight forward once you understand how a request works. For Spring Boot you can use official documentation but depends on your experience. Learning from documentation for beginners is not that good in my opinion. Take a look at this course: https://www.udemy.com/course/spring-framework-5-beginner-to-guru/ It should cover anything you might need for a project, pick what you want.

John Thompson has some of the best Spring courses.

I had the same question. For now, I stopped with this course https://www.udemy.com/course/spring-framework-5-beginner-to-guru/

https://www.udemy.com/course/spring-framework-5-beginner-to-guru/

I don't recommend Darby's course. You'll spend an unnecessary amount of time learning outdated techniques such as configuring Spring via XML. I recommend this one.

I would recommend John Thompson trainings on udemy. Hunt for some good price and try with this one: https://www.udemy.com/course/spring-framework-5-beginner-to-guru/

I'm not a huge fan of this guy's teaching style or methodology but this course will give you a fair amount of what I think you're looking for. It will keep you in the Spring ecosystem but its a good place to start. Plus you'll learn some Maven, Lombok, Docker, and some others I'm sure I'm missing. Most of the course's focus is on MVC but it covers some REST and after that you'll be in a good place.

Just so I'm not complaining let me explain why I'm not a fan of his teaching. In my opinion he jumps around a lot and there is some redundancies in his lessons. However, he does give you a lot of content and there is a Slack support channel so that's pretty fantastic.

To add onto the other poster, I thought this is a pretty good course - https://www.udemy.com/course/spring-framework-5-beginner-to-guru/

My complaints with it are the guy did promise in the course description a Spring Security section to be released in Q2 2019. I even messaged him about it a couple months ago and he said by the end of the year it'd be done. Now it's been removed from the course description. Also, while he has added on content it has not been added sequentially and inserted into different parts of the course which really screws up the flow.

But overall it is a very good way to learn about Spring.

Just picked up a course on Udemy about SpringBoot ( https://www.udemy.com/course/spring-framework-5-beginner-to-guru/ ) I'll start working on it.

This is a decent refresher. I know it can be painfully boring sitting doing tutorials all day but it’s worth it.

If you are using spring this one is decent https://www.udemy.com/course/spring-framework-5-beginner-to-guru/

Honestly the tutorials don’t do much for me until I’ve been thrown into the deep end used the technologies for about 6 months. They mostly serve to clean up any gaps in my knowledge
