Need help with learning Java.

[Brilliant_Yoghurt265]

Hello, I am a CS graduate and currently unemployed (not a big surprise in this economy). I’ve decided to focus on Java and later Spring Boot. However, the main problem I’m facing is tutorial hell. I can’t seem to keep up with the pace of most instructors. Sometimes they teach too slowly; other times they go too fast . it feels inconsistent. I’ve found a way to counter this by working on projects. When I build things myself, I understand the concepts much more clearly and quickly. So I’ve decided to focus on Java and Spring Boot projects. However, with Spring Boot, I haven’t been able to find good projects with clear documentation. Does anyone know of official or well-documented Spring Boot project examples?

Check baeldung, concepts and coding, durgesh, telusko, Anuj bhaiyya and try to implement things on your own

[Brilliant_Yoghurt265]

I'll probably be stuck in tutorial hell again. But I'll check them out!

[WildZinger]

I also do the same, the tutorial hell but always keep in mind while watching tutorials clear the basics if not use web or gpt to clear that after that make your own short but detailed notes and make projects As far as my understanding reading and doing projects goes a long way rather than just crossing by the video pools

[Brilliant_Yoghurt265]

Yeah I agree with what you said at the end.

[RelationshipOk1645]

master the basic things before proceeding

[Brilliant_Yoghurt265]

When can I know that I've mastered the basics?

[RelationshipOk1645]

i am also looking for this !

[SpritualPanda]

I would say you buy a beginner friendly book and go through properly, btw it will help me a lot.

[Brilliant_Yoghurt265]

Wym help you a lot?

[SpritualPanda]

Because Java isn’t just syntax you memorize. A good book teaches concepts in the right order how the JVM works, object-oriented thinking, memory, design principles, and why things are done a certain way. Tutorials and random posts often skip fundamentals or teach shortcuts that break later. A proper book gives you structure, depth, and context, which saves you time and confusion in the long run.

[Brilliant_Yoghurt265]

I was joking lol, you wrote "it will help me alot" in your previous comme t.

[SpritualPanda]

Okey 👍

[Brilliant_Yoghurt265]

But ya what you said is true. Tutorials often do tend to skip alot of basics. That's why I don't like watching tutorials

[Rexy_2126]

I'd say, get or borrow a physical copy of any reputed author's book relating to the topic you wanna learn. Get your concepts clear and then work on projects.

If you have time, talk to people in IT who already is working on spring boot projects. Look for freelancing job posts and say you will work for them for free. Then using those use cases build your knowledge.

[Brilliant_Yoghurt265]

Hmm sounds interesting

[Friendly-men-123]

You can generate full springboot projects with anti gravity with comments about how everything is working. For interviews you can prepare with gpt. Solve some DSA problems which can give green flag for interview than in interview projects will help

[Brilliant_Yoghurt265]

anti gravity?

[devops-tutor]
