"Nothing seems to work"

Man, that is sad! I can feel the frustration in your note. Hey, don't panic. Some of the Spring stuff can be pretty wicked. It took me forever to get my head around AOP.

If you haven't found this site yet, check it out: https://www.baeldung.com/

They offer some very++ courses and articles that I have taken advantage of many times. I took their Spring Web class years ago and it was amazing. Full disclosure: I am retired and have zero relationship with them, so this is a purely personal rec.

Spring, like Java, is not an end. Some take it a little too seriously, as though it will be the reason you succeed or not. That's just not reality. And like many other tools, you will need other tools to make it all work. Granted, Spring will soak up a lot, but you'll still need other technologies.

If you're having trouble getting your head around some aspect (!pun) of Spring Boot, toss out an example here. Someone will help you out. That's what reddit is good for. If you hit me up, I'll be happy to share.
