But as the book progresses onto harder subjects the examples are still good but its clear that a lot of problems that will occur have been skipped over and some of the finer details are not explained. Its true that you couldn't write a book covering every problem that may occur but I'm sure the author would have encountered problems himself that he could have included, there are also a few misprints which can confuse you if not spotted.
Overall its a great learning tool as even when you hit problems, you learn many things when you solve them, its just whether you DO solve them.
I bought the latest edition of this book because I understood that the previous editions were greatly respected and thought that this book would teach me at least the basics of Spring 3, and had the initial aim of building a simple database based web app. The main issue is that I think that the book tries to do too much in too little space, and is poorly organised. Following the chapters on data access I got completely lost and then in the later chapter on MVC so much was left out in constructing the simple mvc application. There is no clear progression of getting from point A to point B and whole chunks seem missing. The example code, by the authors own admission, is very disorganised and impossible to understand unless you know know spring, jpa and hibernate, which kind of defeats the object.
If you are a seasoned developer with a strong understanding of hibernate, jpa and at least basic Spring knowledge from previous versions then maybe this is the book for you, if you are completely new to Spring and have limited knowledge of these other technologies then you may want to look elsewhere.
I found this book excellent. I no time I was up and running with Spring DI, JDBC and JPA, Spring transactions, etc... I have to admin I have only skimmed through the Spring MVC chapter as we are currently not using this technology (but will come back to this later on).
The book is very recent and so currently up to date (current date August 2011).
I have not read other books on Spring, but I have quickly looked at them using my company's Safari account and I thought this was the best book for me to purchase (I like to read on paper still). 5 stars.
Listmania!
