The Spring Primer

The Spring Primer(formerly Spring Live) is the most complete book written on the Spring Framework. It is for users who are familiar with Java development but have not extensively used Spring. As you progress through the book, you will learn how Spring reduces the amount of code you have to write and why it receives so much attention and respect from the Java community. This book is very code-intensive and contains many examples for developing applications with Spring. You'll use Test-Driven Development to rapidly develop and test a simple CRUD application. All of the code in this book is available on SourceBeat's web site. In addition, an open-source project called Equinox is available as part of this book to help users get started quickly and easily with Spring.
