Learning Spring Boot

Learning Spring Boot will help developers, beginner and seasoned, learn how to build powerful apps fast. We’ll introduce core pieces of Spring Boot and show how easy it is to focus on building functionality without getting hung up on unnecessary infrastructure and tedious low level APIs. All examples are built using the Spring Initializr site and a modern IDE.
