What is this?
A free Chinese-language tutorial series on Spring Boot basics that the author positions as a more complete alternative to paid courses.
So is this a runnable application, or a set of articles I read?
Reading material, not software: the repository itself is an index that links out to the tutorial articles, so you consume the lessons on the pages they point to.
Does the author publish other tutorials or content?
Yes. He also recommends his tech blog, a separate free Spring Cloud basics tutorial he bills as the earliest and most complete of its kind, and a paid knowledge community (知识星球) covering tech people's side projects and life.
Can I follow it if I don't read Chinese?
Realistically, no. The README, the linked lessons and the community around them are all in Chinese, so an English-only reader would be leaning on machine translation throughout.
Do I need prior Spring experience to start?
It is a basics course aimed at people learning Spring Boot itself, so no prior Spring Boot knowledge is assumed — but since every example is a Java project, solid core Java is the sensible entry bar.
How established is this series?
Quite established: the author describes it as the most-starred free Spring Boot basics tutorial on the Chinese web, and the GitHub repository itself counts roughly 15.7k stars.
