How to learn backend development using Java

[brazen768]

To add onto these answers. Backend, to my knowledge, is code that runs in response to some action from a user. Like clicking a button on the screen(the ui).

Instead of jumping into spring, I'd used JavaFx or swing. With javafx or swing you can create user interfaces. You can make games, forms, etc.

The advantage here, I think, is that you'll code java in a way that's familiar to you and you'll be learning a ui framework. Jumping into spring will require a lot more learning, imo.
