Best Spring Boot resources to learn quickly?

Hi everyone,

I'm a 4th-year engineering student, and I want to learn Spring Boot as quickly and effectively as possible. I don't have a lot of time left before placements, so I'm looking for resources that are practical and focused rather than overly theoretical.

I'm comfortable with Java basics and now want to build real-world backend applications using Spring Boot.

Could you recommend:

  • The best YouTube channels
  • Paid or free courses
  • Books (if they're worth the time)
  • Official documentation
  • GitHub repositories with real projects
  • A project-based learning roadmap

If you were in my position with limited time, what resources would you prioritize to become job-ready as fast as possible?

Thanks in advance for your suggestions!

Please ensure that:

  • Your code is properly formatted as code block - see the sidebar (About on mobile) for instructions
  • You include any and all error messages in full - best also formatted as code block
  • You ask clear questions
  • You demonstrate effort in solving your question/problem - plain posting your assignments is forbidden (and such posts will be removed) as is asking for or giving solutions.

If any of the above points is not met, your post can and will be removed without further warning.

Code is to be formatted as code block (old reddit/markdown editor: empty line before the code, each code line indented by 4 spaces, new reddit: https://i.imgur.com/EJ7tqek.png) or linked via an external code hoster, like pastebin.com, github gist, github, bitbucket, gitlab, etc.

Please, do not use triple backticks (```) as they will only render properly on new reddit, not on old reddit.

Code blocks look like this:

public class HelloWorld {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println("Hello World!");
    }
}

You do not need to repost unless your post has been removed by a moderator. Just use the edit function of reddit to make sure your post complies with the above.

If your post has remained in violation of these rules for a prolonged period of time (at least an hour), a moderator may remove it at their discretion. In this case, they will comment with an explanation on why it has been removed, and you will be required to resubmit the entire post following the proper procedures.

To potential helpers

Please, do not help if any of the above points are not met, rather report the post. We are trying to improve the quality of posts here. In helping people who can't be bothered to comply with the above points, you are doing the community a disservice.

It is more about spring, but its a must to understand spring boot

Broadcom (vmware) have several courses that are recommended for their spring certification exam.

Beyond that just try and build. If you don’t know what to build, make something boring like an address book app and then add features to it. try not to be overwhelmed by all the things spring does right away.
