I dont think one can learn whole Spring in 2 weeks unless he is super-human-quick-learner. For most of your queries, you can get them thru Google.

Personally I used Mkyong tutorials (just one of the fav tutorials) two years back.

Forget about 2 weeks , can any one just simple answer my queries

Regarding to IDE, STS and Eclipse , You can choose any one ,I am using Eclipse which i found more comfortable.
