Getting started with Spring Framework: covers Spring 5

I don't know what the other reviewers saw in this book, but this is one of the worst tech books I've ever read.I found it recommended online, so I gave it a shot. Mistake.I was first turned off by the presentation. This book is 8½ x 11", the size of a standard piece of paper. This seemed rather large for a technical book, but I soon found out why. It looks like the authors used Microsoft Word to write it, then just left it in standard Word format and printed it out. It's full of Word annotations. It contains no publisher, so it's clear this is a self-published book. It also shows in the book's lack of polish.The English is only so-so. I spotted a half-dozen grammatical errors on the first page alone.I tried to wade my way through the morass of poor English and poor formatting, but gave up. I realized I didn't trust anything the authors said.DO NOT waste your money on this book. Anyone can self-publish a book, which this tome demonstrates.

This book is one of the best books for Spring.Apart from chapters on core concepts of DI and Spring Web MVC, This books also covers advanced topics like AOP, Security, Messaging, Restful web services and Reactive programming with Spring etc...If you like to learn by code example then this is one of the best books for you, as after every topic is explained with practical code examples.

I mainly went through the code examples. Good book for learning and reference.
