Spring Boot 4, Spring 7 & Hibernate for Beginners (Udemy.com)

I loved this course! It covers so much but never becomes daunting or overwhelming. The videos are a perfect length and format, providing insight into a topic and then straight into coding it. As soon as I finished it, I went to look at other courses Chad has because I enjoyed his way of teaching so much I wanted to see what else he had that would allow me to grow as a developer. I'd highly recommend this course to anyone wanting to learn the Spring framework, there's enough here for anyone to be learn something from and to go and apply in their own projects or at work!

The course was really helpful and more than great, and I've spend a lot of hours with other mentors and more than one course where this course include it all... (of course there will be a BUT) but the thing that I hated about this course is using the commandLineRunner I would prefer to use the normal CRUD (service, controller...ect) rather than that complex method. I'm only regretting that I've didn't took this course earlier. Thanks so much Mr Darby (:

I think this is a really decent course. It covers most of the topics around Spring, and I like that the teaching mannerisms are not too difficult as well. They are well structured in order to give you full explanations about everything that's going on in the videos. I have seen some negative comments about a lot of the stuff being repetitive and that the course could be completed faster, and I agree. I think if you put around a solid 7 days into it, you can complete the course easily, maybe even sooner. But it being repetitive? I think this is a good thing, because a lot of programming skills come from repeating the same stuff over and over again. A lot of understanding comes from the same aspect. I have seen a lot of tutorials where some things are quickly mentioned and you simply don't remember or understand them. I also thought that the course was a bit slow-paced, but I fixed this by watching the videos at 1.25 or 1.5 times the speed. Trust me, better slower videos that you can speed up than faster videos where it is really hard to follow along. I just completed Tim Buchalka's Java Masterclass, and it was completely the opposite in his course. The videos were so sped up that it was extremely hard to follow along. Also, slowing down the videos does not work like speeding them up. If you slow videos down, it feels like the instructor is drunk, and this made the learning process even harder lol. So overall, this is a good course. The only main thing lacking here is a bunch of challenges and bigger projects to put all the knowledge from Spring together. There wasn't a single challenge here. I guess you can always pause the video and solve things on your own, but still, it's not the same as someone giving you instructions on what to do. So I would recommend Chad adding those in the future. Also, a huge thumbs up to Chad for being so positive and fun in his lectures. There is nothing worse than learning from somebody who sounds and acts like a corpse lol. Chad was the complete opposite of that. Alive, positive, energetic, cheerful, etc.

I was already quite familiar with many concepts included in the course and yet I learned new things and it was a great refresher. The course was very thorough and covered a broad range of topics. Some sections were quite repetitive though, especially with the MVC stuff as a lot it was just rewriting the same code from a previous section but now adding Thymeleaf on top of it. I think that could be shortened down perhaps with using a copy of a project from a previous section and then just focusing on adding the MVC stuff rather than typing everything from the beginning again. Overall really nice course and I gotta say "Good job my friend" back ;).

This course gives a full and complete understanding of Spring Framework and Spring Boot from a beginner to an expert. Chad is a great instructor who explains things very clearly and gives great guidance for the hands on work. I would recommend this course to anyone using or wanting to use Spring, even seasoned experts. Fantastic stuff!

I started learning SpringBoot as Beginner and 90% of the course is excellent and cleared with all topics with practical understanding. Felt difficulty on Advanced JPA section on relationships. Working with DB directly was easy but handling relationships with @Entity relationships I felt hard and could be explained more practical as owning side, Foreign key concepts are getting difficult to understand Would recommend this to everyone and overall awesome course

Mr. Darby has gone above and beyond to put this course together. I'm really glad to have him as an online instructor. He packs a lot of material in and does so in a controlled manner that is easy to follow. He has updated his videos in response from students, which shows that he is a real and welcoming online presence.

As I am learning first time spring boot and this covers the basics what is must required and got to knows about annotations.This will beginning of my knowledege in Backened. I want that instructor should covers more topics such Microservices, System Design.As How to make distributed and scalale real time systems.

Amazing course content and amazing mentor. I really like that the content is up to date, meaning that I had 0 errors on the code presented in the course. Also the slides add a lot of value and give you a visual picture on how the logic works in the background. Having them available for download, that's a gem, really nice. I look forward on starting another course from Chad. "Good job, my friend" :)

Thank you sir for creating such a amazing course. I really learned a lot of good things and I can proudly say that now I have development skills in Springboot. For new members who wants to learn springboot, I would say go for this course, this is amazing course.
