Spring 3.0 whats the best way to start

[Łukasz Suchecki]

Hi
I'm J2EE guy. I like heavy stuff like EJB, MDB, ....
But it would be nice to get to know Spring 3.0 (there is a vision of a new project in 3.0 in next few months).
How should I start learning ? Is there any book, good tutorial itd (with examples ...)? (I've found only spring-framework-reference.pdf) but I dont know if its good way to start. Any hints ?

Actually the docs aren't too bad.

If you have the money, I would highly recommend the Core Spring class from SpringSource. But I also recommend it because I also teach it.

Anyway, Last week we had a book promo on SPring IN Action for Spring 3.0. You could sign up for the MEAP program for the book at www.manning.com

Good Luck
