Spring Series- Intro

Hello everyone. In this series of articles, I will explain the basics of Spring and help you get started with Spring development. Moreover, I’ll assume that you don’t have any prior experience using Spring, or any other framework. This series is for: Complete beginners who have never used Spring or any framework before. People who found Spring difficult and want a simple and structured way to learn it. Developers who already know Spring but need a quick review of the basics. At the start, I will focus more on the basic concepts of Spring. If you do not understand these, you may get confused later. Even if you think they are not important, knowing the core ideas of Spring is necessary. Without them, you might not fully understand Spring Boot or other Spring projects. The Spring Framework is the foundation for everything else. Other projects like Spring Boot, Spring Data, and Spring Batch are built on top of it. That is why learning the basics first will be very helpful. We will begin with simple topics and slowly move towards more advanced ideas in Spring. Here are some things we will cover: Spring Context and Dependency Injection (DI) Aspect Oriented Programming (AOP) Building Web Applications with Spring Sending and Receiving Data Between Applications Using Databases with Spring Testing in Spring Important: If these terms seem difficult, do not worry. We will learn about them step by step. The only thing you need to know before starting is the basic concepts of Core Java. I’ll try to keep each article short and easy to understand. To maintain a proper article length and avoid information overload, some topics might be divided into parts. Don’t worry, if this happens, I’ll make sure to release all the related parts together so that you can learn without any gaps. Lastly, I want you to understand that this series will not teach you everything about Spring because it is a very large framework. However, it will provide you with a strong foundation to continue learning. Think of it as learning the ABCs of Spring, it will help you start your journey with the Spring framework. For a deeper understanding, I recommend using the official Spring documentation or another reliable source alongside this series. This will help you fill in any gaps you may have.
