EP-1: WTF is Spring Boot?

The Man, The Myth, Not Thala, But Spring Boot

What make a java developer powerful? Obviously knowing how to write REST API. Having ability to talk to server by writing mere alphabets in your code editor is not less than having any superpower. In the world of Java, Its not the REDBULL which gives you wing, Its Spring Boot which gives you wings and let you fly high.

How to have super power

No individual born with power, people have to acquire it. If you want to have the super power of talking to server you need to go to a place in internet start.spring.io. The virtual pornhub ** for java developers.
**What it gives

  • Boilerplate starter code for creating a basic spring boot application.
  • Standard project structure, Ensures your code can suck but not your project structure
  • Nothing else

Snip of how start.spring.io looks like

If you hit on the GENERATE button one zip folder will magically get downloaded.
Unzip It, Open it with some of the world class IDE like Intellij Idea or VS code and hit on the Play button.

DONE, You have created your first Spring boot project.

Lets DIVE Deep on next Episode.

Happy Booting.
