Preface

The Spring Framework is very mature. It has been embraced by the industry and attracted a strong user base. It is challenging to write on a subject that has already been inundated with so many books, manuals, articles, and tutorials, including videos.

So, what is my motivation for writing this book?

I have come in contact with many programmers and developers who sometimes stumble on the basics. They often feel shy about asking colleagues for help. I have also met a few who have had no prior Spring experience before being pushed onto Spring projects. They were given no training or guidance, but were expected to contribute overnight. There’s a third group of people who are genuinely interested in learning Spring but may be put off by the big texts or manuals. These people are enthusiastic and want to hit the ground running, but they don’t have the time or patience to read and digest volumes of data! They only have time to read a simple book, understand the technology, and jump straight into practice. Once they get a hang of it, their grey matter will ask for more and more.

When I want to learn something new, I like to start with basics (I may lean toward the last category), experiment with code, move an inch further, burn a bit of code, and so on. Once I “feel” the technology, then I wish to quench my thirst. At that point, I seek out the advanced, in-depth manuals and specs, and of course, the big books.

This is my motive behind the Just Spring series of books. Simple yet powerful. ...
