3.0 out of 5 stars Confusing and difficult to read., 30 Sep 2006
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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Essential but difficult reading, 29 May 2008
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must buy for any Spring developer, 2 Aug 2005
By S. McArdle (Spain) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
My first introduction to Spring was like many other peoples introduction, through Rods earlier books on J2EE programming. I have always been a fan of Rods writing since working with him for a short while in London on a financial project. During this time he introduced me to the concept of AOP and we had several technical discussions on this and ORM's, specifically hibernate. So when this book was announced I put in my advanced order and waited, and waited, and waited... Well the wait was worth it.

This book is now one of my main reference guides and most of the pages are already dog eared from use. As a consultant I have in recent projects exploited all opportunities to introduce the Spring Framework where I can. This hasn't always been easy as most large organisations seem to resist open source projects in general and new open source projects in particular, opting for expensive COTS products and the perception that they have somebody to hold accountable. But once I get the chance to bring Spring in, there is no looking back, I have even introduced it into one project through stealth after an initial management negative reception under the context of it being just another jar file (not a framework) like all the other jars we use in our project and management then just don't seem to care. The benefits become apparent almost from day zero which then encourages other team members and other teams to Spring (pun intended) to life. This book has opened up some new avenues of Spring use to me through its content, ideas and the newer 1.2 features available. I would recommend and encourage everybody with an interest in the Spring Framework to buy this book and read it from cover to cover. If I had one criticism regarding this book it would the index from which I seem to have difficulty finding what I want.

Great job guys, and I am looking forward to the 1.3 release.
