Why not both?

Madjosz is mostly right, the best way to learn Spring Boot is by combining both. Following a structured guide and building your own project (The project you're doing shouldn't be the same as the project in the course you're following. You should create a project that meets your own needs. This way, you'll be able to explore needs you might not see in the video you're watching)
However, to give you a more tailored answer, ask yourself these questions:
- Do you have a solid understanding of Java (OOP, collections, exceptions)?
- Are you familiar with build tools like Maven or Gradle?
- Do you know the basics of databases and JDBC (or at least SQL)?
- Do you understand HTTP and the principles of RESTful APIs?
If you can answer "yes" to three of these four questions, you can start learning directly with a course and progress by doing your own project. Otherwise, it’s a good idea to first strengthen those areas. It will save you from a lot of confusion later
