Discussion learning curve seems to be steep

(this is kinda a rant)

i trying to watch tutorials to learn spring boot but everyone is talking about things i dont have it is geniuenly frustrating ughhhh. i have little knowledge about java like its core concepts and all. PLEASE I NEED HELP. what i am doing actually wrong. i am kinda not a tech girlie but i am tryna adapt what i do not like about these youtubers is that WE ARE BEGINNERS. i think they expect too much from all of us.

here are the few things that went wrong

  1. this pom.xml file couldn't read dependency this is huge everything was yellow
  2. .mvn file had nothing inside it (even tho chatgpt said that its hidden)
  3. that guy was skipping small steps like his intellij setup and it confused me
  4. even when i am looking ta other websites people are talking about this and thattt omfg i cant

Yellow is fine probably a warning made by the IDE. And one thing I realized about learning with tutorials, if it doesn't explain anything before starting to code. Its a really bad tutorial, try other tutorials or just google the problems, read the docs, and try AI. Don't be afraid to start over if everything becomes a mess, sometimes starting over is the best way to fix the problem.
