Spring Boot Kotlin Part 1: Project creation, hot swapping, REST Controller

Ad: If you need help with a Spring Boot project or 1:1 coaching, you can book a consultation with me. Fees and contact info are available on my channel page.

This is the first video in a series about Spring Boot development in Kotlin. In this first episode we are going to create the project, write a REST controller and discuss hot swapping, an important tool that improves the development experience significantly. We are going to use Intellij IDEA Community Edition as an IDE. You can download it and use it for free.

Grasping is little difficult for a beginner. I could follow up to just 10 minutes. The pacing of changes can be slowed down and explanation could be added for each change to enhance the understanding of viewers.

ps: Updated comment to be more constructive rather than criticizing :) I realized after reading later.

Does it worth it in 2023? I mean considering other Nodejs, go, Ruby on rails, etc.
I'm originally an Android developer, but I learn more and more towards the backend realm

Hello sir. I am an android dev, from job perspective, should I learn Ktor or Spring framework.
