My Java Spring Boot Journey Starts – Learning in Public
Introduction
Today, I’m excited to begin a meaningful journey — learning Java Spring Boot with purpose and passion. Over the years, I’ve worked with various technologies, but Spring Boot has always stood out as a major skill for backend development, especially for building scalable, real‑world applications.
So I’m committing to learning it deeply — and most importantly — sharing everything I learn publicly.
Whether you are a beginner, a fellow learner, or someone curious about backend development, I hope this journey inspires you or helps you grow too.
How I Discovered Java Spring Boot
I first encountered Java Spring Boot while working on backend features at my previous projects. I noticed that many enterprise applications and cloud‑ready systems use Spring Boot because of its simplicity, strong ecosystem, and powerful features like:
✔ Auto‑configuration
✔ Embedded servers
✔ Easy REST API support
✔ Strong integration with databases
✔ Built‑in security with Spring Security (authentication & authorization)
Even though I used parts of Spring Boot in practice, I realized my conceptual depth needed improvement. I could write code that worked, but I didn’t always understand why certain things worked the way they did.
That’s when I decided — it’s time to learn Spring Boot from the fundamentals to advanced patterns.
Why Learning in Public
I believe learning is strongest when it’s shared.
Here’s why I’m learning in public:
✨ Consistency: When you share progress publicly, you stay accountable.
✨ Community support: There’s always someone who can teach you or learn with you.
✨ Real feedback: Other developers can help correct mistakes and give guidance.
✨ Helping others: Your journey could be exactly what someone else needs.
So I’ll be sharing lessons, insights, mistakes, and breakthroughs with clear explanations and real examples.
My Java Spring Boot Learning Plan
To stay organized and focused, I created a detailed learning roadmap that guides my steps through Java Spring Boot.
🔗 Roadmap Link: https://whimsical.com/java-spring-boot-road-map-3sAdvMaUzMNucMhaCt9tG9
My plan includes:
📌 Setting up my Java & Spring Boot environment
📌 Understanding Spring Boot basics (Beans, DI, configuration)
📌 Building REST APIs
📌 Connecting with databases (JPA, Hibernate)
📌 Security & authentication
📌 Unit & integration testing
📌 Deployment & cloud readiness
Each week, I’ll cover one or more topics from the roadmap, write examples, and share code walkthroughs.
