Is this book appropriate for an Experience Zend Framework Developer

[Kevin Ford]

Is this book appropriate for an Experience PHP/Zend Framework Developer looking to move to Java EE/Spring/Hibernate? I have some Java EE skills (Struts) but no Spring experience. I find that the Zend Framework does not offer adequate ORM out of the box and I know that Hibernate is world-class.

Looking forward to your talk!

It has good explanation of Hibernate but limited explanation of Spring. Setting up a project and basics are provided. Good to start...

Yes. I recommend this book to you. It is excellent to start both Spring and Hibernate. You will learn some general Spring services such as IoC and AOP (which mostly are used in Spring applications) besides persistence related features such as transaction management and exception handling. The book also provides a good place to start Hibernate.
