This book irritated me so much it took me months to work up the desire to blog about it. I picked it up several months ago because I wanted to become more familiar with Spring, the development framework we are using at work. The general concepts s presented are fine, but as it turns out, nothing the (fairly good) doc on the Spring website didn’t cover. The reason I disliked this was that the examples were wrong. Not typo-wrong, but not-even-close wrong. I was so confused that I asked a co-worker that is very comfortable with Spring, and he was confused as well. Few books in this genre are error-free, but this was egregious. I’ve read most of Tapestry in Action as well (I didn’t finish it so I didn’t blog about it) and was fairly unimpressed with it as well. I don’t see myself picking up many more ... in Action books in the future.
It all started with a bean.
