Product DescriptionSince development first began on Spring in 2003, there's been a constant buzz about it in Java development publications and corporate IT departments. The reason is clear: Spring is a lightweight Java framework in a world of complex heavyweight architectures that take forever to implement. Spring is like a breath of fresh air to overworked developers. In Spring, you can make an object secure, remote, or transactional, with a couple of lines of configuration instead of embedded code. The resulting application is simple and clean. In Spring, you can work less and go home early, because you can strip away a whole lot of the redundant code that you tend to see in most J2EE applications. You won't be nearly as burdened with meaningless detail. In Spring, you can change your mind without the consequences bleeding through your entire application. You'll adapt much more quickly than you ever could before. Spring: A Developer's Notebook offers a quick dive into the new Spring framework, designed to let you get hands-on as quickly as you like. If you don't want to bother with a lot of theory, this book is definitely for you. You'll work through one example after another. Along the way, you'll discover the energy and promise of the Spring framework. This practical guide features ten code-intensive labs that'll rapidly get you up to speed. You'll learn how to do the following, and more:
install the Spring Framework
set up the development environment
use Spring with other open source Java tools such as Tomcat, Struts, and Hibernate
master AOP and transactions
utilize ORM solutions
As with all titles in the Developer's Notebook series, this no-nonsense book skips all the boring prose and cuts right to the chase. It's an approach that forces you to get your hands dirty by working through one instructional example after another-examples that speak to you instead of at you.
Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
Rating: - This book is an excellent start to Spring - don't listen to the others!
I got the first edition of this book in late 2006, and spent 2 days working through it, while at the same time building up a test Spring application.
Anyone here who says they can't get the code running or even compiling is showing their general incompetence as a developer, as opposed to the quality of the book.
From start to finish, I did not have an issue with getting the examples working - and this was all done without an internet connection. The so called litany of errors ... Read More
Rating: - Do NOT buy this book
I read 14 pages and more than half of codes have errors or typos.
I doubt if author understand th contents. He keeps in describing the feeling about programming. he does not explain about what it means, or how it works. Do not buy this book, it is waste of your money and time.
Rating: - Absolutely dreadful
(Yes, I have the updated version.)
This book was a complete waste of money. I was left feeling strongly that the authors understand neither Spring itself nor the "heavyweight" technologies which they compare it against; many of the statements made about EJB or Struts are simply false.
The book does an exceptionally poor job of explaining how the Spring framework should be used. The examples are not at all clear, and the text often appears to be meaningless. I find it hard to ... Read More
Rating: - Safai Tech Books Online has the original printing
After reading these reviews I wasn't going to buy a hard copy of this book not knowing which version I would get. Since I have access to Safari Text Books Online, I thought that this is where it would be easiest for O'Reilly to incorporate the fixes. Sadly, no. You have to click between the page you're on and the errata page (which, if printed, would take 8 pages) to manually incorporate the fixes.
Rating: - Only way to learn fast
Yes I agree with the other reviewers but not 100%.I also accept those errors which probably Author/Orielly can come up with errata.I will say if you want to learn spring and need a book like 10 minutes guide then you should have this book.
It is not really as bad as other reviewers mentioned.I think Tate did the right job but forgot to get help of good proof readers.
I do have other books ,but im tried when they explain all the concepts for MVC and I saw a book which tries to explain Dependency ... Read More
