Spring, Start Here

Quickly master the massive Spring ecosystem with this focused, hands-on guide that teaches you exactly what you need to know.

From the interview with the author: "The book has been designed for someone who might not even have touched a framework at all, when they start with the book. It has six chapters, and it's only the very fundamentals of Spring. In the first part you read how you build data based on this foundation that is called Spring framework. And then in the second part of the book, when you already know the very basics, understand what what Spring is, how to configure the most basic parts of this framework, then we'll start with real applications. You'll have some code there, of course, but they are still examples. You can't have a whole real application in a book, but you can have examples that are very close to what a real application looks like, or parts of a real application."
