Hi All,
After about so many desktop project involving SWT, we are to be given a web project again..
But we were ask what framework we will use? Previously we were able to do simple projects using
Struts but it was
Struts 1.
As I have been reading here in the ranch, many are using Spring so we decided to jump in and start reading about this framework.
I just have some questions:
1. According to the post that I am seeing when I do Search, they are saying that Spring documentation is very okay.
Are they referring to this link
http://static.springsource.org/spring/docs/2.0.x/reference/index.html. I am not sure if this will help ease my learning..
2. My initial reading talks about IOC/Dependency Injection. I am not familiar about this, do you know any site that I could read on?
3. Spring also has so many modules based on the documentation. It mentions about Spring IDE/Weblow/MVC and dozens of other module. Do I need to know all of this. As per my reading, I should be focusing on Spring MVC. I just want to do web application, is this right?
4. What good books could I buy to teach me the needed module of Spring to get me started on Spring?
-Spring in Action (Covers 2.0 Spring?)
-Expert Spring MVC and Web Flow (Amazon has so many low ratings on this book)
-Spring Recipe (A Problem-Solution Approach) (I think there's one chapter on MVC only
-Wrox book Professional Spring
5. What version of Spring should we study 2.0, 2.5 or the latest 3.0?
Sorry if my question might be so many and could be really dumb but I just want to get the expert advice before I invest so much in my time learning
Looking forward to your expert advise...
