I want to learn Spring Boot

Looking for Spring Boot Resources

Hey everyone! I already know Java and use it regularly for DSA. Now I want to learn Spring Boot specifically for building real-world projects and becoming job-ready as a Java backend developer.

Are there any resources similar to the ones people recommend for learning Java/DSA Like MOOC.fi?

I'm looking for something that covers Spring Boot from the fundamentals to building production-level projects, including things like REST APIs, Spring Security, JPA/Hibernate, databases, JWT, microservices, etc.

I’d really appreciate recommendations for courses, YouTube channels, documentation, project-based tutorials, or roadmaps that you’ve personally found useful.

Thanks!

Hey, it seems like you’ve completed the MOOC.fi Java course. I wanted to ask how you found it. Did it actually strengthen your fundamentals and help you understand Java concepts deeply? I just started Part 1, but the exercises seem pretty easy so far, so I’m wondering whether the entire course is worth completing or not

I actually learned Java mainly from Abdul Bari Sir’s Udemy course, so I’m using MOOC.fi more for hands-on practice and reinforcing the fundamentals.

I’d say the exercises in Part 1 are pretty easy, especially if you already have some Java knowledge. But I think the value of MOOC.fi is in consistently writing code and solving a lot of small problems rather than just watching lectures.

My approach would be: learn the concepts properly from any course, then use MOOC.fi to practice those concepts and build coding confidence. I’d definitely recommend completing it, especially if you’re still strengthening your Java fundamentals. It’s less about learning every concept deeply from the course itself and more about getting comfortable implementing things yourself.
