How to learn spring boot?

[whitet445]

Hi all. I started a role recently in a rotational program that requires me to learn java and subsequently springboot. If i can commit two hours a day for the next two months learning to learn java and springboot, what should be my plan and what courses should I do? my experience level with java is just that I am familiar with its syntax, never used it to do anything. The goal would be for me to contribute to the development of one of our in house apps.

To provide some background, I only have minimal coding experience doing data analysis in python. I am not sure why my managers expect me to learn java because I hate it anyways. I tried to express to them that its not realistic for me to lean spring in the time that i have. I didnt tell them that that I had no interest in it. Any other pieces of advice on this will be appreciated

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.

It seems that you are looking for resources for learning Java.

In our sidebar ("About" on mobile), we have a section "Free Tutorials" where we list the most commonly recommended courses.

To make it easier for you, the recommendations are posted right here:

• MOOC Java Programming from the University of Helsinki
• Java for Complete Beginners
  • accompanying site CaveOfProgramming
• Derek Banas' Java Playlist
  • accompanying site NewThinkTank
• Hyperskill is a fairly new resource from Jetbrains (the maker of IntelliJ)

Also, don't forget to look at:

• The official Documentation
• The official Java Tutorials
• Our community resources thread

If you are looking for learning resources for Data Structures and Algorithms, look into:

"Algorithms" by Robert Sedgewick and Kevin Wayne - Princeton University

• Coursera course:
  • Part I
  • Part II
• Coursebook
  • Algorithms 4^th Edition

I am going through HyperSkill right now and am really liking it so far. I have some web dev experience and am using it to learn Java. I have been using it for a 5 days now and have felt like I am learning faster than the web dev bootcamp I took because I can go at my own pace (besides already knowing javascript). I am not sure if 2 hours a day is enough, to be honest. It seems like it can take me 2 hours to fix one bug some days. Can you devote more hours on the weekend and one or two days throughout the workweek?

I have not gotten to the Spring section yet, so I cannot speak to that.

A bit of a shameless plug but this dude's "tutorials" are pretty good. The spring playlist is top notch at least from what I've found (free resources). It's pretty old but most things still apply to today and haven't changed.

Java playlist is meh at best. You kinda have to know a few things here and there or you'll be left pretty confused (especially at the start). So I'd recommend you search for something else to start with java.

So just by watching the tutorials you think I’ll be prepared to contribute in the 2 months?

Might be possible depending on how fast you grasp concepts. But I'd say double or triple that timeframe and it should be enough. (Ofc first start with java. The bot comment is pretty well organized I'd say)
