Day 1 – Restart Coding | Built a REST API Project using Spring Boot Fundamentals

yazar

For months, my coding routine looked like this:

Learn → Lose consistency → Stop → Restart again.

So today I decided to restart properly — and document everything I build in public.

This is Day 1.

Progress

I built a simple REST API using Spring Boot to refresh my backend fundamentals.

Instead of jumping into complex projects, I wanted to rebuild the basics properly.

Concepts

  • @RestController
  • @RequestMapping
  • Dependency Injection
  • Basic service layer structure
  • MVC architecture

Lesson

Trying to learn too many things at once is the fastest way to burn out.
