The Third Edition has been carefully revised to produce a more lightweight book, that explores the core Spring Framework issues as well as the latest updates to other Spring portfolio projects such as Spring WebFlow and Spring Security. The result is a book that's both broader and deeper than previous editions, while still leaving a smaller footprint. KEY POINTS Highly readable . Discusses best practices. Written by a prominent and experienced member of the community. This book assumes that you know your way around Java, but no previous experience with Spring is required.
