Format:Paperback
This book is not an easy read...Spring has a steep learning curve but this book doesn't help. Mistakes in the examples, constant overuse of "we will get to this later" and "remember what we did in chapter x" will have you flicking through the book like a maniac. Its not always clear into which contexts (xmls) examples should be placed. Plus you have to read tonnes of "this is why this feature is the best in the world" sales pitch before actually being able to use it. Spring itself is an excellent framework, however this book needs to be worked on a bit. You can mostly get all this information from the Spring Docs on-line or in PDF... save the money or find an alternative.

This is an essential book and Spring is an amazing framework - Rod is truly 'Rod the God'. However, this is a difficult book which does not explain things simply - it hits you with the facts and doesn't always explain just how useful the feature is. Spring is also very expansive and Rod has a tendency to blow the mind of us mere mortals.
The book is a useful reference but as a tutorial is hard going. The other frustrating thing about this book is the poor index.
"Spring in Action" is a lot more user-friendly and readable while still covering the detail. "Spring - a Developer's Notebook" is a very good book for getting up and running quickly and cutting through the complexity. Really you need all three of these books to learn Spring. It is really worth it though - it saves you a lot of time, coding and bugs in the long run.

This book is very difficult to read. The concepts are not clearly explained. The book is poorly organized.
For a newbie to Spring this book is an absolute no no. I started learning Spring with this book. Even after lot of hard work I hardly understood anything. I gave up on this book and tried with Pro Spring and picked up Spring.
There are much better books in the market like - Pro Spring and Spring in Action. Expert Spring MVC is again a great book.

Good in places. Still has some unique selling points.
I concur with some of the other comments about this book being hard to read. At least in places. I think the chapter on AOP was awful. Too much incoherent waffle. Read more
