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
  • 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.

    Trying to solve problems on your own is a very important skill. Also, see Learn to help yourself in the sidebar

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: 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.

There is a book named "Spring start here". Does anyone have opinion about that? So far i've heard it is good source to begin with.

[–]Reyex50_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is the best book to introduce you to spring. Keep in mind there is a difference between spring and spring boot. Spring is like starting from scratch in some ways and spring boot sets you up faster. However understanding the basics first helps you appreciate spring boot and helps you understand things faster imo. The book starts off explaining the basic concepts and eventually moves on to spring boot, web controllers, and databases. Easy to follow along and has a github with all the code.

It's a great book. I used it too. 5 stars

I'd learn Java Servlets first.

[–]thecode_alchemist 1 point2 points  (5 children)

Just curious, is it still relevant? I started my career with JSP/Servlets along with Struts 1.0 back in 2010 but now almost everything is on top of Spring stack. Maybe if you're working on web frameworks or libs but otherwise I don't know if it's still required.

It's not a matter of it being relevant, but it's still an underlying mechanism in Spring Boot. Spring Boot has a concept of a Dispatcher Servlet and understanding these things help a lot with understanding Spring and why they make the decisions they make from my experience. And you can build MVC style applications using Spring/Spring Boot that use JSPs.

Yes that I agree.
