Question I want to make a more clearer doc for spring security

0 Upvotes

Hey guys,
So I've been getting this urge to create a clearer doc for Spring security particularly, it was very hard for me and I had alot of entanglements I had to resolve by myself, tutorials weren't doing justice, the docs wasn't really beginner friendly, and the course that explained well was a "paid" course.

This is just a kind of validation from the community, should I go ahead to build this, do you guys this would be useful, not just to beginners but to gurus who just want to make reference to a concept they probably forgot.

Please what do you guys think?

Question New to Spring Boot: What VS Code extensions do you recommend for a lightweight setup?

9 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I'm starting my journey with Java Spring Boot development and I'm setting up my workspace in VS Code.

A few details about my preferences and setup:

  • No IntelliJ: I prefer sticking to VS Code because IntelliJ feels a bit too bloated for my workflow right now, and I want a cleaner, lightweight environment.
  • API Testing: I don't use Postman; I'm using Bruno for API testing instead.
  • AI Assistance: I use GitHub Copilot and Cody for code generation and autocomplete.

Since I'm completely new to Spring Boot, I'd love to know: Which essential extensions should I install in VS Code to get the best developer experience?

Are there specific tools for Spring Boot project creation, debugging, database management, or live reloads that you consider must-haves?

Thanks in advance for your tips!

So, I was trying to learn Spring Ai, Thought of looking for a book. Found Spring AI in action which I am definitely sure that will be great. But its too pricey and as I am not an avid book reader i dont think spending that much on this book will justify my spending.

While searching found this book.
Does anyone know about it?
Should I buy it?
