Programmers using Spring (Java) professionally, how did you learn it? (lemmy.world)

Would you recommend courses, books, documentation, or jumping straight to a project and googling things along the way? I have a solid foundation of Java and want to start learning how to develop web apps with it.

Any help much appreciated

Same here. Went straight from University to working with Spring and learning by doing. By now you can actually use ChatGPT as a nice little mentor as well. It's decent at explaining how things work if you don't want to google everything.

When I was still at university, I started working on a place where Spring was used... they gave me a book called "Spring in Action" to read. I loved reading it and everything made much more sense after that... I highly recommend trying to get a deep understanding of something so central to an application like Spring before you start doing anything more advanced with it. You wouldn't want to drive a F1 car without first learning how to do it properly, it may be fun at first but you're likely to crash and burn.
