[Łukasz Słonina · Rating 3 out of 5]

Guide to Spring Boot. Using ToDo application as an example, this book is presenting how to use different features of Spring Boot. Definitely not Pro, you would learn how, not why. Would be much thinner if not the source code.

[Kai Weber · Rating 2 out of 5]

This is a suitable workbook to self-study working with the Spring Boot framework. A considerable part of the book is filled with printed code, which is then discussed. A simple example application is programmed again and again to show different patterns of using the framework. When going through all the examples, it can have a rather tedious effect on the reader, so it would probably be best to skip those parts that are likely not of interest to you. It is also of advantage to have some ideas about the general design principles of the larger Spring framework, otherwise some of the autoconfiguration will not be fully grasped.
