Spring in Action
Written for enterprise Java developers who have become disillusioned with the complexity and bulk involved with EJB development, this programming tool demonstrates how the Spring framework can make coupled code easy to manage, understand, reuse, and unit-test. Spring's employment of inversion control and aspect-oriented programming techniques to encourage loosely coupled c...more

Recommends it for:
Software developers and Spring developers
First off, well written book! The third addition is about 1/2 of the size of the second edition (also owned and read) and I think it's a testimonial to the advancements in Spring itself. Spring 3 allows and encourages alternatives to XML configuration which can be quite verbose making the book about 1/4th smaller than the previous edition. The second reason the book is smaller is because Craig took out several sections that were very lightly covered and should have been in a second or third book...more
This book is not for someone who was just started developing in Java. Basic Servlet, JSP, and Java Beans knowledge are necessary in order to find out how Spring could leverage those.
I heard some of my team said that this book was not for them. I finally discover them reading this book without actually trying them on their workstation, instead they read it like a novel book.

Good books for newbies, good coverage of all Spring framework parts, after reading i think you could work with Spring, but one bad thing - examples of code. So when I reading a book about enterprise tools I expect to see use cases with accounts, payment, etc, but there are main heroes: ministrel ( old european bards) who plays on music instruments and sings.
Inversion of control. Instead of having your object be aware of other objects it is working with, you make it work with an interface instead. Then anything that implements that interface can be used. And using an annotation or an xml file, you can tell it which implementation of the interface you want to use - and can change it without recompiling.
A good book to learn about spring.Though some examples use very archaic terms like knight of round table embarking a quest. it makes it a lil tough to understand a scenario. But overall a gud reference book to use.
A glorified reproduction of the manual which you can get online, but the online docs are much more up-to-date.

Amazing book for beginners. So well and clearly written. Making my journey to Spring so damn easy.
Gerçekten çok güzel bir kitaptı, hakkaten çok beğendim bak, almalısın.
Learned that it is best book for Java Springs along with documentation online
Really good spring reference. I used this book constantly for months.
Required reading... for the spring developer. Can be dull in places.
Probably the only Spring book you'll ever need to read...
Dorky dork dork dorker.
Good book.
Liking it so far, very easy to read. Clear and concise.

Basic. Takes a list of selected topics and gives a basic introduction to each. To my mind, the topics were selected well, they were well presented and the transitions were logical. There were a couple of possible pitfalls thou. At times, it appeared that in order to practice the lessons of one chapter, you needed the lessons learned in the chapters to come. This however isn't definitive as I could have easily made a mistake.
A must if you're developing with Spring. Comprehensive, well written, with enough examples and a bit of humour.
There is a new edition of this book, updated to Spring 3.x, and with less pages (more or less 300 pages less!!!).

This was the perfect book to get me up-to-speed on Spring 3.0. I literally read it from cover to cover and gives a great overview of the features of Spring with an emphasis on the new features of Spring 3.0. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was because the editing was attrocious.
read the first edition -- this one is better.
Eine schöne Übersicht über viele Facetten des Spring Frameworks.
