Do you think something is missing in Spring and Java tutorials nowadays?

[jade thicket]

Good morning everyone this is my first post here.

I already have solid experience working with Spring and Java, and I’ve always wanted to teach and create content, especially videos. So I wanted to ask you all something:

Do you feel like current Spring and Java tutorials are missing anything? Is there something you think should be taught but usually isn’t whether for beginners, intermediate learners, or even more advanced developers?

I’d really appreciate any suggestions on what to include, because I genuinely want to help people who are just starting out. In my opinion, the beginning is the hardest part when learning Java, and I’d love to make that journey easier.

Good morning and welcome to the community!

Regarding your question, many Spring and Java tutorials today often focus heavily on syntax and basic use cases but sometimes miss deeper architectural insights and real-world application patterns. These are essential for writing maintainable, scalable systems—a crucial skill for intermediate to advanced developers.

Specifically, tutorials often lack:

1. Category Architecture and Modularization: How to properly structure larger codebases with separation of concerns and domain-driven design principles.
2. Integration and Testing at Scale: Best practices around integration testing in Spring, mocking strategies, and continuous integration setups.
3. Performance and Security Considerations: How architecture choices impact runtime performance and security, topics rarely covered in-depth in beginner content.

Given your experience and interest in teaching, focusing on these architectural principles and practical patterns could fill a significant gap and help others level up beyond just "how to use Spring."

Useful links:

• Spring Framework Reference Documentation
• Baeldung: Spring Tutorials and Architecture Guides
• Java Design Patterns - SourceMaking

These resources provide solid foundations and deeper dives into architecture and design practices that you might find helpful when creating your content. Best of luck with your teaching journey!

You can got to depth in every point like if you want to teach spring-security don’t just teach how to apply this and this . Just explain how and from where and why we are applying and what happens without and after applying also use some video simulations that will explain the concept in more depth

Got it, so you feel like what’s missing is tutorials that actually explain what’s going on under the hood when you use something like Spring Security.From what I remember, most videos really just show how to apply the technology in a project, but don’t go much deeper into how it actually works internally.Thanks for the suggestion!

pedagogy

i.e. an explicit lesson plan which includes incrementally building to concepts from a known foundation

as opposed to "Controllers in Spring Tutorial"

people usually say "its missing in depth info" or something, but that perception is a symptom. You can't fix it by making "Controllers in spring tutorial" an hour long
