This was great, Dan! I'd love more of these guided tutorials. Just hearing the explanation of what's going step by step (in layman's terms) is so incredibly helpful.

[harvanchik]

Thank you so much. Having only dealt with front-end stuff so far, this back-end api stuff seemed very daunting, but you've made it very easy to understand what is going on. Thanks!

No these guide tutorials are amazing and beginner friendly 🤩 please keep em coming

[Ziirf]

Not bad, but there are multiple times where you use keybinds to go into places on the IDE without saying how, this isn't friendly to someone new to the IDE.

this is so easily explained. every other tutorial add so much complexity like jpa, h2, database blab bla lba lab alb and then rest controller. by then it looks like a nightmare. thank you.
