Most Developers Learn Spring… But Struggle in Interviews (Here’s Why)


When I started learning Spring, I thought understanding annotations and writing a few APIs was enough.

Everything worked.
My applications ran.
I could build features.

But interviews exposed something uncomfortable…

I knew how to use Spring
I did NOT fully understand how Spring works internally

And this gap becomes very visible when interviewers start asking questions like:

  • What is Spring Configuration?
  • Difference between XML, Annotation, and Java Config?
  • How does Spring create and manage Beans?
  • What actually happens during Dependency Injection?

If these questions make you pause for a few seconds… trust me, you’re not alone.
