This video is an absolute gem among relevant Spring boot tutorials, nay, even among Java-related tutorials/lectures in general. Thank you so much for the hard work it took, the content on your channel deserves a lot more attention and I'm sure that these kind of slow-burn videos will eventually get the recognition they deserve simply by the virtues of being thoroughly educative and helpful.

[CalebRdgz]

Just finished my first month as a backend developer at the largest airline in the United States thanks to you. This video is what helped me pass that interview and I can't thank you enough

[alekyanarne]

I'm obsessed with this tutorial. When JPA figured out the ageLessThan(50), I was genuinely flabbergasted, that was so damn cool!!!

[gandalfthegrey]

I'm only 30 min. in, just completed the maven part and I have to say
I LOVE THIS!!
I saw a few other courses and this is by far the best, the pace, the detailing, the examples, the voice and video quality.
Not just Java but overall great programming video and for free,
I hope you keep making more of these and keep the bar high

[ofbdixw]

I had been watching videos on spring boot for a month, but got nothing other than confusion. This tutorial is a too good to be free. Thank you so much for it.

[dancortes]

I don't know if you already have, but you should do a full course on a platform or something. This is THE ONE course I've seen that really explains bit by bit what's going on in a very well put manner. Thank you so, so much. Every other course I've seen jumps from 0 to a 100 and and usually omitting a lot of key information.

[Ishaan]

Hey Devtiro, I just finished the entire video. I wanted to let you know that this was the best tutorial/course I came across from all the times I had to learn something new. Love how you put emphasis on good practices such as testing, organizing your application into layers, and using docker, and not just "making something work" in spring boot. Hard to come by tutorials as good as this. Keep up the amazing content. Subscribed.

edit: I saw some other videos on your channel. Excited to watch those too!

[vipergamerz]

I am a beginner to Spring Boot, but he has explained every thing very well it seems really simple. Really a masterpiece content.
thank you so much

[adityapatil]

You are so underrated Devtiro, hope you find success with your channel. Really awesome content. Thank you.

[ajotcole]

Hey, not sure if this gets seen, but thanks to your guide I aced my coding challenge for a job application at my dream company and got the job. It helped me a lot and I was learning a lot, thank you so so much! 🙂

[CoFloCipher]

The quality on this video is on a whole other level compared to what else is out there for free. Very, very well done! Thank you so much and I look forward to watching much more of your content!

[victorkash]

this is by far the best springboot tutorial i have found on youtube. Thank you for the amazing work you are doing. The style and pacing of the video is perfect.

Hope your channel gets the recognition it deserves.

[arteniteodor]

Why u unpopular ??? This is one of the best in depth courses I've seen on spring boot ever ! And I've done multiple of then on paid platforms ! Wow...

[tbcfrankee]

One of the best tutorials I've watched, and I've watched a lot in the past decade.

[nfdgrnv]

I've never heard such a clear, well-constructed like this before.
Thank you

[havefun]

I don't know who could sit still for 6hr to record such great tut from 0-1 with a detailed explanation even w/ unit test and integration tests for me.

[matisscukurs]

I actually finished it, coded along.
Would suggest others doing the same.
TIP: at the end when switched to using "Pages" the test case was not updated. Change that prior packaging.

[bartomiejmiosz]

After completing this course, I can confidently say that my understanding of Spring has not only improved, but my grasp on OOP, coding best practices, and testing has significantly deepened. I'm eagerly looking forward to more courses from this treasure trove of knowledge. I hope for a comprehensive future course on microservices utilizing Kafka. Having taken numerous courses, such as on Pluralsight, I've found that the learning experience here is unparalleled. It offers a breadth and depth of content that goes beyond just the basics of Spring Boot 😍

[unbrokeneleven]

This is probably the best video on springboot I have come across.

[keldur]

Omg. I’m only 12 minutes in and this video has answered so many conceptual questions I have been having about frameworks and how to use them. I understand core Java but my classes at the moment don’t cover frameworks so I’m trying to teach myself but a lot of the content on YouTube is lacking and leaves me with more questions than I had before. THANK YOU SO MUCH
