How can I learn basics of Spring Framework?

[Nikhil Arora]

I have never used Spring, I do not know about its basics. To give you all some background, I am fairly good with Java, I have already read SCJP and doing fine with it. I have never used or read anything about Spring and I want to build up my conceptual understanding so that I can face some interviews where basic knowledge of Spring framework is added advantage with having worked in Java.

Welcome to the Ranch, Nikhil, nice to meet you

Thanks Liutauras

Welcome to the Ranch.

Check out the guides on the Spring Framework website - although most of them assume you already know at least the basics of the Spring Framework.

You can also have a look at the reference documentation.

The first topic to learn about is dependency injection, and the Spring application context. That is really what's at the basis of the Spring Framework, and it's important that you understand these things first. Search the Web for tutorials about dependency injection with Spring.

Java Brains on YouTube would be an excellent start:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GB8k2-Egfv0&list=PLC97BDEFDCDD169D7

Thanks for this. Would it be a good start for a newbie like me?

Thanks I would check these videos out. Seems like they have covered almost everything with the basics.

There is an instructor on Udemy going by the title "Spring Framework Guru".  I have been learning his core spring framework course.  I got the course on the recent Udemy sale.  I do not know offhand what they charge.  But I like the course, and it is moving at a reasonable pace, where you get a demo and you can follow along.  He builds up the levels of indirection gradually, so you are not just thrown into an @Mess to deal with.  I recommend that, even though I am nowhere near finished yet.

Thanks L, I checked it out and I hope you are talking about this.
Though I have found another course and I have started that. Lets see how it goes. I would still appreciate any further recommendations from our forum members.

Yes, that's the right course.  He is actually very serious about what he does, and his level of experience shows.  Good luck.

Thanks L. I would try that if my current course does not suits me.

Another one at Udemy is 'Spring & Hibernate for Beginners' from Chad Darby. I've not followed this particular course, but I did do his Udemy jsf course and greatly like his style. Very clear explanations.

I'd never consider it at the normal price, but Udemy seems to have one of their many sales on right now. Courses at £10.

Thanks Richard. I'd look into it.

tutorialspoint and udemy can be a good choice for learning online. And there was a YouTube channel. Pardon me, I forgot the name. But you can search it in the YouTube search bar.
