I&rsquo;m watching <a href="https://www.safaribooksonline.com/library/view/spring-framework-essentials/9781491942680/">Spring Framework Essentials</a> through my Safari Books Online membership. It&rsquo;s presented by Ken Kousen, who often hosts the Groovy Podcast. He has a series of three Groovy videos in Safari Books Online that I wouldn&rsquo;t mind going through sometime in the future. The video series runtime is 5 hours, 14 minutes and it has a five star rating from 35 reviewers. Not bad, let&rsquo;s see what it covers.</p>http://llcawthorne.github.io/posts/udemy-spring-boot-intro/Thu, 22 Jun 2017 00:00:00 +0000http://llcawthorne.github.io/posts/udemy-spring-boot-intro/<p>I figured since I am a professional Java programmer that I might as well spent some time getting familiar with some Java technologies that I don&rsquo;t get to use at work. With this in mind, I purchased Udemy&rsquo;s &ldquo;Spring Boot Intro&rdquo; course for $10 when they had a sale.</p> <p>This course moved a lot quicker than the last course I took from Udemy. It covered basic dependency injection in Spring in probably an hour or less, where the last class focused on dependency injection fundamentals for the entire time. I appreciated the faster pace, as there&rsquo;s a lot of stuff to cover with Spring Boot. It handles autoconfiguring all the main projects that make up Spring&hellip; Spring MVC, Spring Rest, Spring Data, Spring Security, etc.</p>
