How Spring Boot Can Be A Game Changer For Your Career

[00:02] published a spring boot tutorial on this channel and some of you asked what is spring Boot and why should I learn it great questions let's start with the spring framework because to really understand spring boot you need to know

[00:14] where it comes from Spring is one of the most popular Frameworks for building Java applications think of it like a toolbox it's got everything you need to build scalable Enterprise grade applications and it's modular which

[00:27] means you can pick and choose the modules you need these modules are broadly categorized into a few different layers at the core we have modules for handling dependency injection and managing objects I know it might sound

[00:40] confusing but trust me I've covered this in depth in my spring boot course it's not really that complicated in the web layer we have modules for building web applications with these modules we can handle HTTP requests process data and

[00:55] return responses whether it's HTML for a web page or Json for an API in the data layer we have modules for working with databases whether you're working with databases whether you're using SQL no SQL or even inmemory data

[01:08] basis we also have a module for adding cross cutting features like logging or security without cluttering the main code this is called aop or aspect oriented programming we also have spring test for testing of spring components so

[01:23] a spring is amazing but it comes with a catch it requires a lot of setup for example if you want to build a web application you might need to set up a web server configure routing and manage dependencies manually this can make

[01:36] development slower and more complex and that's exactly why spring boot was created spring boot is a layer on top of spring that removes all the painful setup think of it like this if spring is a toolbox spring boot is a preassembled

[01:51] workstation instead of spending hours setting things up you can just start coding right away it comes with sensible defaults Auto configuration and embedded servers so you can go from an idea to a working application in minutes that's

[02:06] widely used Java Frameworks in the industry major companies like Netflix Amazon and Google rely on it to build scalable applications and because of that spring boot developers get paid really well according to glass store

[02:21] Spring boot developers earn between 160,000 and $300,000 a year which is huge if you're a Java developer learning spring boot can open up better job opportunities and higher salaries so now that you know why spring boot is so

[02:36] valuable the next step is learning it properly I've just uploaded the first hour of my spring boot course for free on YouTube where I walk you through the fundamentals step by step I'll put the link for you in the description box
