Spring in Action Book Description:
After reading this definitive book, you’ll be armed with the power of Spring to build complex Spring applications, top to bottom. The agile, lightweight, open-source Spring Framework. Continues to be the de facto leading enterprise Java application development framework for today’s Java programmers and developers. It’s not surprising to see the author of Manning’s venerable Spring in Action take on the challenge of concisely distilling the core aspects of working with Spring Boot into another cogent book. Nor is it surprising that Craig and the Manning crew have done another tremendously wonderful job! Spring Boot in Action is an easily readable book.
Spring Framework has been making Java developers more productive and successful for over a dozen years, and it shows no signs of slowing down!
Spring in Action, 5th Edition is the fully-updated revision of Manning’s bestselling Spring in Action. This new edition includes all Spring 5.0 updates, along with new examples on reactive programming, Spring WebFlux, and microservices. Readers will also find the latest Spring best practices, including Spring Boot for application setup and configuration.
Key Features
- Developing reactive applications with Spring
- Building applications with Spring and Spring Boot
- Spring MVC for web apps and RESTful web services
- Writing Spring-enabled data repositories
Audience
Written for intermediate Java developers.

Learned that it is best book for Java Springs along with documentation online
Mar 26, 2018Donald Lika rated it it was amazing · review of another edition
This book provides great introduction to Spring 4 framework,It is also good for whom has started learning about the framework,
It starts with explaining spring core concepts then it details all spring modules in a progressive way
Overall, I give 5 stars to this book because it explains all important concepts so every reader can understand.
Great book for newbies(me) but author focues to much on showing configuration examples(always in 3 different ways).

Good overview of technology and it is very easy to read, but a number of mistakes present.

Spring in Action (5e) has been a somewhat frustrating experience because I actually think that overall, the content is quite good for the topic. I feel like it does do a pretty good job of going over how a project could apply some of the different features of Spring while doing a decent job of also explaining said features.
The problems mostly lie in the typos and errors, both in the text itself and the sample code repository. If you're trying to follow along, there are parts that are straight u...more

The Fifth Edition jumps to spring-boot. It's good from a high-level perspective with some caveats.
There are plenty of errors that didn't make it to the official errata page.
Chief among these is a lack of versioning of the sample code. We see annotations from Chapter 3 on JPA pop up in the chapter 2 code to do with MVC. Some errors make it hard for people to follow along as they're coding to the book.
Also the coverage is somewhat high level. For example with MVC, although there are explanations,...more

I just concluded the 5th edition by one of the famous introductory books to Spring framework. To be honest, it wasn't what I was looking for currently. This edition of the book can be read after a year or a year and a half experience working with Spring as the author took a bit more different approach in my humbe opinion with this edition(I compared the contents of the two editions). I was looking for a book that would introduce me more to the Spring framework founding principles. This time the...more
This is a very good reference/guide to Spring if you already have some (very) basic experience with frameworks with DI. I liked the humor that was kept up in the writing, and that all concepts had accompanying examples with very good explanations. Several chapters try to implement the new concepts they introduce into an app, but I found the execution here to be a bit less focused. If the practical implementation was a bit more focused and easier to follow, I would unequivocally rate this as 5 st...more
I couldn't find a single online tutorial that adequately explained Spring. Seriously, none. They all appear to assume that the reader already knows something about Spring. Walls doesn't make that assumption.
Walls goes into enough depth to teach the reader how to effectively apply Spring's tools, while explaining what happens under the hood.
If you want to learn how to use Spring and all that it offers, this book is a great choice.

I know Spring.
Although it didn't take me 10 seconds like Neo with Kung Fu, but I kinda feel the same confidence he had with what he just learned. Spring in Action was helpful by explaining the logic behind Spring, and teaching the how-to by example like short tutorials.
For the cons of the book, I think a 600 pages book, should go further in depth of Spring engine, best practices. I also felt the Persistence part didn't bring much, so I'm going to look for some dedicated resource about that.

Good introduction/overview of Spring framework - covers main parts.
There are some errors in the code, plus author pitch Initialzr too often - I believe that we can shred 10-15 pages of repetition of the pieces of pom.xml, etc.
Good introduction to Spring framework.
Explains basic concepts and howto they are used with lots of examples.
However its very expressive and long descriptions so nice for reading but not looking up stuff or getting lot of information in short time.

An insightful book for a beginner such as myself.
Now when I am working with Spring, the logic behind it starts to make sense.

boring, a bit outdated now, but essentially good. It actually took me 1 year to finish it :)

A nice introduction into Spring framework. It could have been better if the examples were somewhere available.

Wait for the newer version of this book to be released, it's easier to follow and very concise.

A good book for whom has just started learning about the Spring framework and also for ones that basically know and use Spring's dependency injection (via tutorial, guide on the Internet) and want to understand the underlying concepts. The first four chapters are for you. They tell you about the big picture of what Spring is, how it solves the problems of the big old JavaEE and its famous functionality (dependency injection and aspect oriented programming). The later chapters are about the advan...more

Like the 2004 edition, a no brainer read for every Java developers using Spring Framework. I have read every edition and will pre-order and read every feature edition without bothering to wait for any reviews!
This edition did not match the bar set by the 3rd Editions so it lost a star from me, however I will still strongly recommend.

Another one in Craig Walls' series not to be missed, a truly expert author on the Spring framework!
Simply, this is the best in the series so far. Detailed and practical with real world use cases.
Strongly recommend.
Some chapters were very cool.
Some a little bit bored

It was an easy and pleasant job to write a review for this «Spring in Action» book. Though it’s almost three years old it’s still considered to be one best book about the Spring framework. My opinion might be not too poetic, albeit I’ve enjoyed reading the book.
Every Jvm-concerned programmer knows that Spring is huge and it’s constantly evolving throughout all these years. There are some books that are much thicker and they cover more Spring components. Some of them are really gigantic manuscrip...more

Well, the book has some good parts: pleasant to read, good introduction to Spring(yes, requires some programming knowledge , but that's kinda a given seeing you want to learn a framework...), some nice insights,...
Sadly it has a lot of bad parts: it's not really up-to-date anymore (nothing to do about that), but what striked me more was that there were a lot of mistakes in the book... From errors to bad configuration options and even just 'wrong' code (like overriding default behaviour to euhm w...more

Honest 5 stars as this book has clearly played is role. And it wasn't easy, keeping in mind how vast & spacious is the topic. It's easy to follow, reasonably structure & it's very sensible with clear indicating of 'child sub-topics' (to be investigated separately, out of the book scope) without unnecessary exploring them. Regardless of breadth of material, it didn't really feel overwhelming.
Chapters I liked most? Web Flow & AOP - as I these topics (in context of Spring) were pretty m...more
Feb 07, 2017Vít Kotačka rated it really liked it · review of another edition
Pretty good book about modern development with Spring Framework. It covers basics as dependency injection and standard web development and then iterates through more advanced topics as integration via REST, messaging, or WebSockets. Of course, Spring Security isn't omitted either. The final chapter scratches basics of Spring Boot.
As the (sub)title suggests, it targets the Spring version 4. Therefore, if you think about reading it, you should consider upcoming 5th edition which should come out in...more

Recommends it for: Software developers and Spring developers
First off, well written book! The third addition is about 1/2 of the size of the second edition (also owned and read) and I think it's a testimonial to the advancements in Spring itself. Spring 3 allows and encourages alternatives to XML configuration which can be quite verbose making the book about 1/4th smaller than the previous edition. The second reason the book is smaller is because Craig took out several sections that were very lightly covered and should have been in a second or third book...more

“There’s an old joke about a skydiver who’s blown off course and ends up landing in a
tree, dangling above the ground. After awhile someone walks by and the skydiver asks
where he is.
The passerby answers, “You’re about 20 feet off the ground.”
The skydiver replies “You must be a software analyst.”
“You’re right. How did you know?” asks the passerby.
