From Zero Spring Experience to Building Your First Microservice with Spring Boot 2
Learn to build your first microservice with Spring Boot. Together we will write a production-ready microservice with a REST API in just a few hours. All starting from having zero experience with Spring at all.
Revised and extended 3rd edition
Update: Using Spring Boot 2.1.8.RELEASE version.
Our guides give you brief lessons on a single topic to get you started in no time. We leave the fluff out so you can focus and learn better and faster. Stop wasting hours of your life watching video courses or reading boring compendiums. Use our guide and save your precious time and be way ahead of your competitors on that next big project.
We build a real application (less than 850 lines of code though) using a standard Maven project structure together, and I will explain you the steps and libraries involved on the go. You must know Java.
You learn best by coding. The way I love learning too. And not by reading fluffy compendiums or watching 10 hours and more of videos. Sure, you can do that, but any developer following my guide will be way ahead of you before you are even halfway through that video course.
What you will build:
We build a Microservice for storing comments and providing a REST interface for interacting with the data. The sample application is modeled after a real production application to guide you through building your first Spring Boot application.
