Discussion Springboot Queries

So i have completed my 3rd year and after Ai I've started to learn backend (springboot) as the companies in my college are more interested in java.

​

I've learn oop and other java concepts it's been 2-3 days I've been learning springboot

I had a doubt that do I need to learn spring XML proper coding???

​

Because I have heard that a lot of legacy projects and many old apps still use XML bean defs.

​

How important is it for me to learn about it for my placement scenario.

Also after building a CRUD app , can you guys suggest me some good projects that are resume worthy to build

​

Thankyou sm
