I finished the book in 15 days and found it a real gem for learning Spring. This book teaches Spring fundamentals in a very interesting and lucid manner. I also bought Spring Recipes along with that and I think best way is to read both of them together.

This book covers the theory well but lacks in plenty of examples which can be found in Spring Recipes. But if budget does not allow to buy both the books then this is the book you should go for.

I started reading this book to get started and learn some thing new to add to my skill set. Initially I read this book to get general idea of spring. The initial theoretical walk through of this book made it difficult to absorb the new concepts completely(like aspect and multitude of annotations), but I kept going and was hell bent on finishing the book. I finished part1 and part2 of the book without much of hands on. Also it was pretty difficult to get the spitter application to running(stil...

This is a book which is really good for beginner's as well as programmers alike. Examples are good. Each concepts are made clear and further details given in subsequent chapters. Quite comprehensive. I have used this book even for my teaching on this subject.

This is a good book for all of the java folks. I'm having good experience and understands lots of spring concept and it gave me lots of confidence. But this is not the end. It is good book for beginners but if want to be a real spring professional then you would probably need to switch to other books like "Professional Java Development with the Spring Framework" etc.. But anyways it will give you enough information to build your spring application or to understand existing application.

This book will give a basic and conceptual view about spring 3. But it is basically annotation based. as a programmer you would like to follow annotation but as a learner i would refer "go for spring 2". Although it will give you a fair promising concept about spring 3. Chenguieh!!!!

Good book getting knowledge and the topics narrated are interesting. I love this book, because the author of this book Manning, given and explained each topic with real time example code. This is effectively useful for all java developers.

Thanks a lot to Flipkart to given me an opportunity to write review on this book.

Nice book, who are beginners in spring can easily buy this book. Author "Craig Walls" explained all concepts briefly and nicely with real time examples. I can not say this book covered entire spring but it is best book for beginner.

This is a real good book and easy to read. The step-by-step practical example makes this book useful for beginners and also makes Spring interesting. The best thing about this book is it covers Spring 3.0

It's a good book to start with! Well explained with nice and easy-to-understand examples. Must be a great resource for starters in spring framework. I'm yet to complete the book. Overall, it's worth reading 'Spring In Action'!
