Abstract
So here you are: you want to learn how to develop web applications using Spring, and you chose this study guide to help you. This might be one of the best decisions that you could make, as this book was written not only to help you to understand Spring Web, but to love it as well. This study guide may even help you pass the certification exam—if you follow all the instructions properly and do all the exercises. This study guide explores more Spring Web topics than those required by the exam; for example, it gives you a short overview of what Spring Web is all about, which you can skip reading, of course; but if you really want to learn Spring to develop web applications like a professional, then it would be wise not to skip this.
