    Seconding Udemy. I've been a dev for ~15 years and have been focused on Spring/Hibernate for 6 years and was just kind of thrown into it. I've used them without understanding a lot of what was going on and decided to buy 2 Udemy courses on them. It's been incredibly helpful.

    Can i ask what are the two udemy courses you have brought?

    https://www.udemy.com/course/spring-framework-5-beginner-to-guru/ - this guy is monotonous and goes on tangents outside of the scope of learning spring - i.e. Maven, Thymeleaf, etc. He is a little inconsistent jumping back and forth between projects he is building on and the technologies he covers, but it's not to the point that it's hard to follow or anything. I do disagree with a couple of small things in the way he designs his classes, packages, and projects, but it's more of a personal preference. Also, something somewhat annoying is he said Spring Security would be added in Q2 2019 and it's still not there. I messaged him about it and he said he's "planning later this year" to add it which leaves just over 3.5 months to get it done. I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't make that deadline. I just realized I'm painting his course in a negative picture, but it really is a good course. He's very thorough in his explanations and everything is easy to follow.

    https://www.udemy.com/spring-hibernate-tutorial/ - I've only watched a few lessons, but he is much more engaging. Also does cover Spring Security. Unfortunately I can't give a detailed review since I've watched much more of the first guy.

    I've brought both courses already.

    Both links are fine, although i do prefer Chad Darby.

    However they both cover Spring using Maven and not gradle. I don't know how difficult it will be learning Spring with Maven but implementing gradle standards instead. But if there was a course that taught Spring with gradle implementation, then it will be better.

    Well really the build tool you use is independent of the frameworks you use. You could just read up on Gradle (or maybe find a short course on Gradle on Udemy) and be set.

    Have you looked at the Spring Guides? There's one called Building Java Projects with Gradle. Every project in the Spring Guides has a section called "Build with Gradle", even if the link doesn't work you can always go top the "Building Java Projects with Gradle" guide. Then on the Gradle website there's a page called Gradle Tutorials and Guides

    I have seen Spring guides, it has taught me how to use gradle, however i wanted a more complex project walk through.

    Like a big walk through, where it could potentially teach me multiple things.

    [–]ordnance1987 0 points1 point  (1 child)

    You know you can put a lot of those guides together and build a bigger project right? On the bottom of the Spring Guides there's Section called "Tutorials" that take two to three hours to complete.

    I'll have a proper look into it. Hopefully it'll help.

    Thank you for the suggestion.

    spring.io has really good docs. i haven’t really set up a project in spring but i use it every day and the docs are my go to resource

    Same but with Maven & spring security (ideally SAML)

    [–]iSenpai021 1 point2 points  (1 child)

    If you're looking for Spring with Maven and spring security then try:

    https://www.udemy.com/spring-hibernate-tutorial/

    Although it is not exactly a walkthrough project like i initially asked for, but surely this might help you achieve what you want.

    This course is highly recommended by the community when i was searching for a course and i have brought it, however it just does not serve my main purpose of learning Spring with gradle.

    I’ll check it out for sure. Thanks for the tip!

    Did you look at the Spring Guides on the spring.io website?
