Unofficial practice notes for the Spring Boot Full Course playlist.
These pages are written so anyone can type code in their own editor, one step at a time — not just rewatch the video.

TipStudy pattern (recommended)
- Skim the Goal and Concepts on this site.
- Open your IDE (IntelliJ / VS Code / Eclipse).
- Follow Practice steps without copying whole projects blindly — type them.
- Attempt Exercises before opening self-check answers.
- Replay the video only when stuck on why, not on what to type.
