Prerequisites before diving deep into Spring Boot:

1. Java Programming Language: Spring Boot is built on top of Java, so a good understanding of Java
programming is essential. Focus on object-oriented programming (OOP) concepts, exception handling,
collections, and Java 8 features like lambda expressions and streams.
2. Spring Framework Basics: Spring Boot is part of the broader Spring Framework. Familiarize yourself with core
Spring concepts such as Dependency Injection (DI), Inversion of Control (IoC), and the Spring container.
3. Spring Core Modules: Understand key Spring modules such as Spring Core, Spring MVC, Spring Data, and
Spring AOP (Aspect-Oriented Programming). These modules are foundational to Spring Boot.
4. Maven or Gradle: Spring Boot projects often use Maven or Gradle for dependency management and build
automation. Learn how to use these tools to manage project dependencies, build, and package your
application.
5. Web Development Basics: Spring Boot is commonly used for building web applications. Learn the basics of
web development, including HTTP, RESTful principles, and understanding of web servers.
6. ORM (Object-Relational Mapping): Spring Boot often integrates with ORM frameworks like Hibernate or JPA
(Java Persistence API) for database interactions. Understand the basics of relational databases and how to map
Java objects to database tables.
7. Database Knowledge: Have a good understanding of databases, particularly relational databases like MySQL,
PostgreSQL, or Oracle. Learn SQL for basic database operations.
8. HTTP and RESTful APIs: Spring Boot is often used to build RESTful APIs. Learn about HTTP methods, status
codes, and RESTful principles.
9. Testing Techniques: Familiarize yourself with unit testing, integration testing, and the testing support provided
by the Spring Framework. JUnit is commonly used for testing Spring applications.
10. Version Control System (e.g., Git): Learn how to use version control systems like Git to manage your source
code efficiently.
11. Basic Command Line Skills: Spring Boot can be managed and built from the command line. Understand basic
command line operations for development and project management.
12. Understanding of Design Patterns: Get acquainted with common design patterns as they are often used in
Spring applications.
