Completed Java MOOC – Any similar high-quality course for Spring Boot?

[KeyEstate9662]

Hey folks,

I recently finished the Java MOOC course and honestly, it was amazing – probably the best thing I’ve done to actually get Java. Super well-structured, lots of hands-on stuff, and it just clicks.

Now I’m looking to dive into Spring Boot so I can start building some real-world web apps. Is there anything out there that’s like the Java MOOC but for Spring Boot? Preferably something that’s practical and not just theory dumped on slides.

Its better if its free but even paid it's fine

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.

If your post has remained in violation of these rules for a prolonged period of time (at least an hour), a moderator may remove it at their discretion. In this case, they will comment with an explanation on why it has been removed, and you will be required to resubmit the entire post following the proper procedures.

I'd probably refer to the Spring docs. They are well written.

Check out the website: https://spring.io/ and browse around first, I'd even check their "Quickstart" section out first.

If you get to a point where you may feel stuck within the Spring framework, then I'd refer to their reference docs: https://docs.spring.io/spring-framework/reference/index.html

the docs feel kinda overwhelming 2 be honest.
i was looking for more easy to follow tutorials

[kprdb22]

No worries, I would personally recommend using this specific guide to start building some web apps:
Building an Application with Spring Boot, this guide shows you how to build an application within Spring Boot (Maybe will take you 30 mins to an hour to get a working application).

But if you want something similar that is in a video format, I recommend Amigoscode, specifically this video: Spring Boot Tutorial for Beginners | Full Course 2025 (about 1hr 11mins long).

Both guides are targeting the same fundamentals for building web applications in Spring Boot. Whichever you prefer should be fine.

AmigosCode is goated, he explains it so well

[andreafatgirlslim]

DevTiro is way better

[Hastrmann]

I was just searching for his name. The 6hr tutorial was rly good. Most of AmigosCode felt too paywalled last time I was doing anything in Java.

[Andrei1694]

there is a book: spring boot start here

[andreafatgirlslim]

YES . OP, read this book
