Hopefully this section has provided you with some of the Spring Boot basics, and got you on your way to writing your own applications. If your a task oriented type of developer you might want to jump over to http://spring.io and check out some of the getting started guides that solve specific “How do I do that with Spring” problems; we also have a Spring Boot specific How-to reference documentation.

Otherwise, the next logical step is to read Part III, “Using Spring Boot”. If you’re really impatient, you could also jump ahead and read about spring boot features.
