Spring Boot Quick Start

Welcome to the first chapter of the book, which will quickly immerse you in Spring Boot and demonstrate how easy it is to use by walking you through a simple project that exposes an API over the Web. If you are new to Spring Boot, this chapter will help you to rapidly familiarize yourself with the framework. If you are an experienced developer, feel free to quickly review the setup of the project (which will be referenced throughout this book) and move on to the next chapter.
