Welcome!
The Confident Spring Professional course is rather unconventional, in that it will not throw you into the deep end, Spring Boot, right from the beginning. Instead, you’ll start with modern Java and Spring framework basics, that lay a solid foundation for your Spring Boot developer career.
More specifically:
-
You will build a small web application without Spring, just with plain, modern Java & HttpServlets.
-
You will then add Spring framework to that Java application and learn what it offers over the plain Java solution.
-
You will then add Spring Boot to that Spring framework application and learn what it offers over the plain Spring framework solution.
This might sound like a restriction to some: Why bother with plain Java servlets when all you want to do is Spring Boot? Let me start with that immediately!!
You will have to understand that starting with Java and plain Spring framework will pay for itself with a comprehensive understanding of the whole Spring Ecosystem, which Spring Boot builds upon.
Without that knowledge, you will get lost with Spring Boot pretty quickly.
Convinced? Then let’s find out how you need to tackle this course.
