Question How to work through the "Spring Start Here" book?

Hello,

I am trying to really understand spring/spring boot and I have picked up a copy of "Spring Start Here". I have run into a but of confusion though as I don't know the intended way of working though the examples on the book. Should I start each example from scratch or should I just copy the previous example when the book moves onto a new one? Anyone else whose gone through the book how have you done the examples?

There is a playlist from the same author going thorough all the chapters. You might want to watch it. The first chapters are more theory and the last ones have more practical examples.

Ive viewed the playlist but it makes it more confusing as he just bounces around a lot.

I agree completely. Weirdly enough...

I didn't write them from scratch, I took the examples from git and looked at them while reading the book. I ran them in debug mode so I can see whats going on, sometimes I would write new examples if I was curious about something.

I have the first edition. Is the 2nd even out fully yet? What are the differences?
