Hi Pete,

This the 'best' time to get into reactive Spring. Reactive support for JDBC will be there once reactive JDBC drivers (which are being developed) are available. Btw, these days many applications don't even use typical JDBC databases.

Hi Chintan,

The book doesn't cover Spring Boot/Microservices.

Hi Afrim,

The only prequisite is that you are familiar with Java and with basic design patterns (like, Factory and Singleton). If you have developed applications using JSPs/Servlets that interact with a relational database, then the book is very simple for you to follow.

Hi Durim,

The only 'Hello World !' example that you'll see in this book is in the first chapter. The rest of the chapters aim to help you build real-world applications.
With this edition of book, we've introduced fresh content on functional programming, reactive programming using RxJava 2 and Spring Reactor, developing reactive RESTful web services using Spring Data MongoDB and Spring Security, developing reactive web applications using Spring WebFlux, accessing RESTful web services using WebClient, and so on.

Hi Pete,

Whenever a new release happens you should read the release notes to find out what has changed since the last release, what things are no longer compatible, and so on.

Hi Pete,

Good question !
I've focused only on topics that are relevant to *most* Spring developers. For this reason, I haven't covered Spring Boot, Spring Cloud, and other projects, that are not relevant to most Spring developers.

Hi,

The books are different in how the authors present the topics. I find that Getting started with Spring Framework books goes into the depth and width of the Spring Framework, and provides numerous simple examples (close to 88 sample projects) to get you started with Spring Framework. It is also the first book currently that discusses function/reactive programming support in Spring 5.

Hi Vyanktesh,

The book talks about what has changed since Spring 4. Yes, its easy to migrate from Spring 4 to Spring 5.

Hi David,

This book is 'ideal' for someone who has never worked on Spring Framework.

Hi David,

The first chapter does mention about what has changed in Spring 5. It points to chapters where you can find details about those changes in the book.

Hi Anthony,

It's true that currently we don't have JDBC drivers that provide reactive access to the databases. There are no limitations with using Spring WebFlux with a blocking data acess layer, at the same time, there are no tangible advantages either.

Hi Keith,

The book has a specific chapter on AOP that covers all aspects of Spring's support for AOP. If you read the chapter, you'll get the idea that AOP is used wherever there are cross-cutting concerns.

Hi Kim,

You are bang-on at "this book could be useful in keeping various papers and receipts I have on my desk from flying around". This is one of the most sought after use of the book. It doesn't just keep the receipts but also protects them from dust and sunlight. Some readers have gone to an extent to say that their receipts were looking much better after they were kept in the book for more than a day.

Hi Divya,

You don't need to know Java 9 features to read the book or learn Spring 5.
