Introduction
Spring Boot has a lot of magic going for it.
Developing applications with it is cool and fun.
Spring Boot makes it easy to create stand-alone, production-grade Spring based Applications that you can “just run”. Most Spring Boot applications need very little Spring configuration.
In this course, you will learn the cool things about Spring Boot and Spring Boot Starter Projects. We will develop
- A web application to manage your todos
- A basic REST Service to manage questions of a survey
You will learn about Spring Boot step by step - in more than 90 steps. This course would be a perfect first step as an introduction to Spring Boot.
Here is a quick overview of different sections of the course:
- Introduction to Spring in 10 Steps
- Introduction to the power of Spring Boot in 10 Steps
