Spring Boot
Convention-driven Java services.
Spring Boot is taught here in 3 lessons, running from Project setup and your first controller through to Configuration, JPA data access and profiles. Each lesson takes one topic, shows the working code, and links onward to the next, so the course can be read straight through in order.
