I want to learn Spring framework. A bit of research shows that spring boot allows me to skip all the painful xml configuration and generally makes life a bit easier. However, what if I have to maintain an old spring project in near future?

So,
a. Should I learn spring before spring boot
b. What is the best resource for the above?

question

spring

java

help needed

    @Torbuntu yeah. Thats the route I usually take. However, this time I want to make sure that i dont pick up any back coding habit that don't conform the *spring way*.

    I started with spring boot directly. It is stable since 4 years now. And afaik the spring only configuration is moderately readble so maintenance should be possible.
    Spring boot takes away a lot of boilerplate and I'd recommend starting with it directly.

    As for a good guide, spring can do too much to learn everything.
    I started with a guide that matches my use case from here: https://spring.io/guides
    These tutorials do not match idiomatic spring code completely but are very nice to follow. I didn't search for any other tutorials.
