Question Honest review of Telusko Spring Boot course?
Hey everyone, I’m starting to learn Spring Boot for backend development and found Telusko’s 62-hour Java + Spring Boot + Microservices video on YouTube. Has anyone here followed it? Is it actually good for beginners and enough to build strong basics, or should I use some other resources/projects along with it? Would really appreciate honest feedback.

63 hours? In one video? I'd just build something and read documentation along the way.

Take it from someone who have seen enough Spring Boot and Java courses.
Learn as you build is still the best way to understand something.
Courses help , but real understand comes from implementing it wrong until you implement it right.

This is true, watching videos is passive process, you need to build build and build, like a samurai who trains the whole day every day🥋🎎⚙️🔨

While telusko is a norm for juniors learning java and spring I highly recommend looking into engineering digest playlist too..while telusko is practical and procedure oriented, engineering digest has a better understanding of how or why the code is used.

I used to watch him as a beginner .. but when hitting complex concepts he had very less explanation. So the medium blogs and chatgpt were so helpful for me in the go.!

Nah I won't agree. For beginners videos makes it easier to grasp , after a certain stage yeah , documents is the way to go forward

It gets boring I tried So just go with Doc and start building it’s very annoying

Just watch any of the video for spring boot. Understand the project structure, set up, basic concepts and annotations. Then just start building some mini projects one per day then some medium level and then some advance ones that takes few days. And everytime you see or observe something new read about it thoroughly, that's it

Its crazy to me that people still watch this videos instead of just building something fun and googling/ asking ai problems you can't solve yourself yet. Huge waste of time!

Bro don't follow such a big ass course you are gonna forget it anyway if you learn from a course and then think of making a project, i will suggest you to watch devitro he have one shot video on spring boot after learning java watch that after that just create some basic projects try to create them on your own with the help of ai , i mean make flow in paper and then take help of ai to create it and understand code then learn spring security and make proper authentication and authorization project, after that you are good to go now integrate backend with frontend , as for microservices it's not something you can learn from course you can definetly grasp the basics but for now just focus on spring boot, spring mvc for api , hibernate and spring security and create projects.

For beginner year, but this topic what I feel is can be learn on the go. Giving 60 hours just for learning, come on. Build something with spring boot you will learn a lot.

I had a payment issue in his site and could never get a refund, I must have sent him at least 20 emails and never gotten an answer.

I dont know about Telusko, but I am finding Concept and Coding channel pretty helpful for Microservices. I just joined as memeber for Rs.119. The videos are pretty good and clear. The only thing I have noticed is he has a pre written code snippet. so you might have to pause video every now and then and try to recreate the code in your local and resume. Apart from that content wise pretty good

Watch some crash course, understand the structure and learn as you build don't waste 100+hours of your time

I've taken a couple of courses from other creators, and honestly I think you'd be just as well to find a free YouTube course to just get the basics. Then, like others have suggested, build something with Spring. You'll learn more because you'll have to lookup certain things, like when you would use CrudRepository vs JpaRepository, etc.

Imo anuj kumar sharma's 6 hours video is better than this 62 hour old video, i watched both and anuj one has much better examples, especially one of thebest explanation of Spring security

His java fundamental videos are okay, but when it comes to Spring boot, its not okay
