One of possible learning paths which I recommend to new hires in our team is this 1 read kotlin reference and do all kotlin koans at <http kotlinlang org|kotlinlang org> 2 Read several chapters of Spring reference docs and Spring boot reference 3 Work through some relevant Spring guides 4 Then I generally give some practice tasks relevant to the domain the new developer will be working on

you re 100 right about that this is one of those situations where I was brought in as a front end dev but the upcoming sprint has not one single FE thing that isn t blocked by something so I ve been assigned stuff on the backend

mcblum · Answer

the code was easy enough to write but the tests are giving me some issues mostly related to my not actually understanding the ecosystem

mcblum · Answer

I m coming from Typescript JS so the typings are totally doable and I did a lot of PHP Ruby in the backend so OOP is ok too The setup is what s a bit different none of those languages compile like this does and the infrastructure is pretty different for me

It s really important to be able to unit test the services amp the controllers independently The MockMvc works just like Mockito so you can verify that the expected parameters are passed from the request to the service amp that the formatting of the HttpResponse is correct
