Review

This book, teaches us Spring 2.5.x with Aspect Oriented Programming (Annotations and XML well cover) with a scalable learning approach, over 8 well-organized chapters, realistic and necessary Crosscutting Concerns are covered.

 

I consider this book oriented more towards beginners and medium Spring/AOP developer programmers. This book has a good structured approach to learn for any reader. It has concrete theory and good realistic examples. (Not overloading learning process).

 

AOP itself is complex for the first time that a beginner starts to learn it. This book avoids this problem by keeping the things simple and not overloading with heavy theory. That means the theory and practice are not poor (superficial) or too detailed.

 

Developers with some experience with AOP, would find this book very good for reference in a practical approach, as it has a long good amount the samples about configuration for xml and annotations. For its 300 pages I consider this book a good material for learning concepts.
