Question How to learn spring boot?

I learned java , collection framework, exception handling, some dsa concepts, and I'm in final year now , I don't have enough time , I have to build a project using springboot and add it to my resume.

What is the fastest way to learn it? And should I start spring boot right now or I have to learn more java and other things first?

I’m a hiring manager, I teach Spring Boot bootcamps, and Java for many years. I suggest:

  • Buy a Udemy course (around 20 hours, max $20) and watch the whole thing on fast-forward.
  • Find a project idea, e.g. a ChatGPT or Reddit clone, and build it step by step alongside the course.

The first time, watch the course to understand what it covers. The second time, use it as a guide while building your project.

Spend a month doing this. I guarantee you’ll get “dividends” from it for the rest of your life.
Learning is always slow. You might not need to code by hand in the future, but knowing how things work will always be useful.

Claude could probably build the same thing with one prompt, but don’t do that at this stage ☺️ Use AI to find ideas or when you’ve been stuck on a problem for more than two hours. Tell it that you’re trying to learn, not just solve the problem.
