I'm diving into Spring Boot but struggling to find a solid YouTube playlist to help me learn. For those of you who have tackled Spring Boot, what resources did you find helpful? Any recommendations for playlists or courses on platforms like Udemy would be great!

Definitely check out the official Spring Boot documentation. It’s the best place to start and has everything you need to know! Here's the link: https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/documentation.html
I usually prefer reading over videos, but I found this YouTube tutorial to be particularly helpful: [Spring Boot Tutorial](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nv2DERaMx-4). Check it out!
There are a ton of resources out there! For foundational knowledge, check out these links:
- Spring Framework Reference: https://docs.spring.io/spring-framework/reference/index.html
- Baeldung Spring Tutorials: https://www.baeldung.com/spring-tutorial
- Spring Boot Guide: https://www.baeldung.com/spring-boot
- Check out the roadmap for Spring Boot here: https://roadmap.sh/spring-boot
YouTube might have some decent playlists, but remember that Spring is a massive framework that evolves quickly. It's something you learn best by actually building projects. Try to get your hands dirty and create something fun with it!
I'm curious, what's the issue with finding good YouTube playlists? When I look up 'learn Spring Boot', there seems to be a ton of options available. Most of them are decent, at least!
If you haven’t already, make sure you understand object-oriented programming in Java first. After that, the official Spring documentation will make a lot more sense!
Totally agree! Practical experience beats watching videos any day.
