-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rather than filled with disjointed, HelloWorld- and/or foo-bar-like, piecemeal samples to show Spring features one at a time, it is designed to put your Spring learning experience on a functioning, end-to-end sample Secure Online Banking Application (SOBA), which runs on a variety of OS/App Server/DB platforms, including: {Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux}/{Tomcat, GlassFish, JBoss, and WebLogic/{MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQL Server, and Oracle}. Using SOBA as a learning platform, this book helps you learn the following core set of the latest Spring technologies fast:Spring Core Framework Spring MVC Web Framework Spring Data Access Framework (JDBC and Hibernate) Spring RESTful Web Services Framework Spring Security Framework Spring Transaction Management Framework Spring Validation Framework Spring AOP FrameworkSpring Testing FrameworkSpring Integration with EJBSpring Web Flow Framework Some readers prefer "learning by reading," and some prefer "learning by coding." This book is written based on the author's belief that "reading is learning, but learning by coding is better learning." While taking a code-intensive approach, this book provides adequate textual descriptions to help readers grasp every Spring feature presented in the book. It is a strong plus that it is not as verbose or as wordy as other Spring books so that you can finish it within a reasonable timeframe. After spending 2-3 weeks completing your self-paced training with this book, you will be able to start contributing to your Spring-based enterprise application project immediately. It will also be considerably easier for you to read the lengthy Spring reference documentations and other verbose Spring books.
