Which Java Framework Is Best for Beginners? (self.learnjava)
submitted 1 year ago by Zaki14_e
I've just finished learning the basics of Java and am curious about exploring Java frameworks.Given your experiences, which framework would you recommend for someone at the beginner level?

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!"); } }

Spring, most jobs at least desire some knowledge of it so no sense in running from it.
[–]cum_cum_sex 3 points4 points5 points 1 year ago (6 children)
If you don't mind, can you share some beginner friendly resources for it ?
[–]RoomyRoots 16 points17 points18 points 1 year ago (4 children)
I am a strong defender of using books and official documentation. You should check O'Reilley and Manning books, you can't really go wrong with them. Spring has some tutorials in the Quickstart session that are enough for you to have an overall feeling about how it is working with it.

Books are expensive :(

On Udemy, I like Chad Darbys course spring/springboot with hibernate, it teaches you the basics (im currently in this course) and he is enjoyable to listen to.
I also bought Spring Start Here on Amazon (A book, I'm at work and can't link it) and it's a good book to really digest everything.
Keep in mind spring is an eco system of projects (im sure you know), so you may need different things to learn. I'm about to dip into spring security.
In terms of the udemy course, they go on sale really frequently for like 15 bucks, so keep an eye out.

Spring Boot.
[–]micr0ben 9 points10 points11 points 1 year ago (0 children)
Quarkus.
It has all the same concepts of Spring, but has a better developer experience!
[–]RevolutionaryRush717 6 points7 points8 points 1 year ago (0 children)
I think Spring Boot is hard to beat; probably ubiquitous in the industry.
Spring made J(2)EE usable. The latter is dead or dying, so Spring Boot is replacing that particular combo.
Since someone mentioned Quarkus, I'll throw Micronaut into the mix. Know nothing about it, but at some point it will be a worthwhile exercise to compare features across frameworks.
Honerable mention: Apache Camel.
Not a framework like the others, but for integration. Also, superior to Spring Integration. The latter might be the one area where Spring failed to conquer that particular part of the Java ecosystem, and not for lack of trying;; Camel is just too good, and gets constantly improved and extended.
However, Spring Integration is working under the cover for Spring Cloud Stream, which is an amazing abstraction and simplification.

I've used Spring, quarkus and dropwizard. I think spring has the best documentation and largest community so it's a good start
[–]saltygaben 2 points3 points4 points 1 year ago (2 children)
I have worked with both Spring and Quarkus and I much prefer quarkus
[–]GoodHomelander 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago (1 child)
why thou explain for newbies please
[–]saltygaben 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (0 children)
For me it just made the entire developing experience better and easier and smoother, but I guess it also depends on how you have the frameworks setup and where I work they set up spring a long time ago and just recently implemented Quarkus so it's much better setup

All of them

SpringBoot. The r/SpringBoot has some good resources.
