Currently I am preparing myself for my upcoming Spring core course.
Already long time ago I was facing Spring and so I decided to prepare myself by some literature. First of all I found the „Beginning Spring“, which I already mentioned.
My ebook-provider suggested me another series for Spring: „Spring next generation“. I started with „Core Container„, which is already Volume 2. Scott Stanlick suggested for newbies also to read Volume 1 „Thinking in objects“. As the books are quite easy to read and even cheap I decided to study Volume 1 afterwards.
Scott has a very simple and direct way to focus on the main intention of Spring:
- Elminating new().
- Bring together, what fits best for the context.
He describes every chapter with pictures from the real world and the one I keep in mind is how he made me first of all understand this:
Imagine you go into a restaurant and order from the carte. Spring is the chef who brings together the ingredients from the restaurant with your desires. And this is called „Dependency Injection“. Brilliant!
For everyone even interested in good literature with very simple and clean code examples I recommend Scott Stanlicks series. Next I will try the „AOP“-Thing, as I have never done it before.
So I hope in some weeks I will give you a NICE Review of my core exam…
