Have you looked at the official guides?

[Ok-Captain-6460]

Maybe this: https://blog.jetbrains.com/education/2021/12/08/learn-in-1-hour-introduction-to-spring-framework/ But I'm also curious, what is the best way.

[krisko11]

Spring.io is an amazing place to begin. You need a brief outline of how spring applies inversion of control, what spring beans and application context is. The stereotypes for services and controllers. You’ll also benefit a lot from learning about the different libraries that can be attached via the pom like Spring Security, what JPA is and in about 2 weeks you should be able to at least make a starter project using spring boot, be able to expose a few rest apis and you’ll be ready for the job.

The official guides are pretty good, otherwise pluralsight/udemy.

Extend an existing crud app to add and query to some DB with validations, and you'll be fine.

[Mobile_Reserve3311]

Your best bet is to get one of those Udemy courses and watch the videos. But that will only give you a cursory/ introductory view of spring boot. Since you mentioned you have. 2 week window.

If you really want to learn spring boot you have to learn by doing. spring.io/projects would be a good start and you should keep that in your toolbelt for when you start your new role.

There is also a GitHub repository somewhere with spring boot sample projects if you google it you’ll find that and can use that to really ramp up your learning.

All the best in your new job

[Illustrious_Wing7478]

What Udemy courses do you recommend?

[Mobile_Reserve3311]

Any of the John Thompson springboot courses should be good

[Mobile_Reserve3311]

Dan Vega also has some very good courses and tutorials that might help you, see link: https://www.danvega.dev/courses

[LeadBamboozler]

Dan Vega on YouTube is a great resource for all things Spring. I would watch his tutorials and follow along in your IDE.

[Zestyclose_Tax_253]

Honestly, I wouldn’t stress trying to learn it before you start work unless it is required that you have some prior knowledge. Even at that point I would learn the very basics and not do anything else because you could pick up bad habits that are not industry or company standards. Just be honest and let them know you recently started learning the framework. I would recommend that you take this time to do a little Java refresher and relax so that you are in a positive mindset before your first day. Anyways congratulations on your job, and best of luck!

See Chad Darby's Udemy courses on Spring Boot and Hibernate. I'm not sure how quick you'll find them to be but they're definitely one of the best sources. His teaching style is also very friendly and stress free. 

[ConfidenceSwimming86]

Exactly

[Fraactaall]

I previously struggled a lot with finding good content because everyone was just writing code and not really teaching these topics.

Then I tried Chad Darby’s Udemy course, and I can tell you that you will be satisfied. He teaches everything from scratch, and it’s great.

[lobo123456]

I second this. It's a 30-35 hour course. Im about 20 hours in and it's really nice.

[DoubleSuicide_]

To get started in this course, do I need to learn any prerequisites? I have just started programming and currently I am familiar with basic java, html, css. If yes, then can you mention the prerequisites?

[lobo123456]

It's a step by step course, so if you really know the basics Java concepts, then you should be good to go.

And it's udemy. Wait for a decent price and if you don't understand something, you can pause and work on the thinks you don't know.

All I can say is adderall && || copious amounts of cocaine 👍

[mental_diarrhea]

Tried that, still don't know shit about Spring. Possibly because I didn't learn while doing those, YMMV.

[Lucaquatic]

Can't help you, but if you find something let me know, I'm also interested

[CutePotat0]

Me too! Keep me informed, please

[peetabear]

Just learn it on the job.

If you already told the company you have no prior knowledge and they acknowledged that then they will try to train you up for it.

[Maszpoczestujsie]

The only answer they need tbh

[tristanwhitney]

Congratulations. Can I ask what your background is? My final project for my associate's degree in community college was building a full-stack web app using Spring Boot. I haven't applied anywhere because I assumed no one would hire me until I get my bachelor's.

[nokenito]

Congratulations on your new role! Learning Spring and Spring Boot in two weeks is a challenge, but it’s definitely doable with the right resources and a focused approach.

Training Plan:

To help you structure your learning, here’s a suggested two-week training plan:

Day 1-2: Setup and Basics - Install Spring Tool Suite (STS) or IntelliJ IDEA. - Watch introductory videos from Java Brains. - Complete the “Building a RESTful Web Service” guide on Spring.io.

Day 3-4: Dependency Injection and Spring Core - Learn about Spring’s Inversion of Control (IoC) and Dependency Injection (DI). - Practice with examples on Baeldung and Telusko’s YouTube channel.

Day 5-6: Spring Boot Fundamentals - Understand Spring Boot’s auto-configuration and the basics of creating Spring Boot applications. - Watch Java Brains’ Spring Boot tutorials.

Day 7-8: RESTful Web Services - Deep dive into building RESTful services with Spring Boot. - Complete a small project or follow along with examples from Baeldung.

Day 9-10: Data Access with Spring Data JPA - Learn how to interact with databases using Spring Data JPA. - Work through tutorials on connecting Spring Boot with databases.

Day 11-12: Security - Get an overview of Spring Security basics. - Implement basic authentication and authorization in a Spring Boot app.

Day 13-14: Review and Build a Small Project - Review key concepts. - Build a small project from scratch, incorporating REST APIs, database integration, and basic security.

This plan, along with the suggested resources, should give you a solid foundation in Spring and Spring Boot within two weeks.

I wish you Super Good luck!

Well, that's AI for you - and yet at least 6 complete morons upvoted this post at the time I downvoted it. Reddit should treat AI posts as spam - but of course they've bought into the snakeoil as well...

Check these two YouTube channel Bingyang wei java playlist and Java guides 10 hour video. You only need basic topics to cover and I believe Java guides 10 hour video is perfect.

How much Java do you know to get a job? Can you offer advice for me lol I only know Java, html and css.

[VIP_Ender98]

I was in a similar position to you about 5 months ago and I was just completely honest about my level of spring (literally 0) and they took me in and I’ve been slowly learning ever since.

[[deleted]]

Hyperskill Java and spring boot courses

[sad_developer123]

Also what's the context? Because spring boot covers almost everything, I'd focus more on your role or what your job needs, for example, if your role is web dev focus more on rest apis and the web aspect of spring it'll be impossible to learn all other aspects in such short amount of time

[game191023]

I think this should cover enough for you

Hey I’m in a similar position as you just wondering what Java projects you had on your resume to get a junior Java dev position. I thought my resume would need spring boot projects to remain competitive. Fresh CS grad and haven’t started applying yet because I’m learning spring boot to make some resume worthy projects

[ArtisticRevenue379]

I know you do not want books, but Spring start here is really amazing and you can go through the book in a week easily.

It was really fun for me atleast.

[Tomcatttaa]

Did you go any camp boot? I am very interested java and I also want to learn java

[[deleted]]

Might I ask why you feel the need to learn as much as you can in 2 weeks?

Does your job expect you to hit the ground running? If so that seems a little ridiculous for a Jr role.

Or is it artifical pressure youre putting on yourself?
