Spring Boot in Action

Tl; dr: If you want to get familiar with spring boot, I’d recommend reading the official documentation and trying some tutorials online. The documentation is really well detailed, up-to-date and, most of all, not opinionated.
In general, the Spring Boot in Action book reads well and is okay for beginners slightly familiar with the Spring framework.
I especially dislike the fact that chapter 5 and 6 are mainly dedicated to groovy and its “elegancy�. To my way of thinking, those chapters belong to the appendices section and are improperly placed ahead of the actuator and deployment.
One last thing: there is no paragraph explaining what groovy is really good for (not for production-ready application logic, fwiw). The part of the book that really lost me was declaring that access modifiers are code noise developers should generally want to get rid of.
