Rating: O'Reilly have really taken their eye off the ball with this one. Usually accurate and precise, they have succummed to the trend (most notably set by the original Wrox Press) of producing books on the latest subject matter as soon as the first draft has been delivered by the writer(s). It's really obvious with this publication; There are so many glaring omissions, typographical errors and just plain mistakes that as I complete a section, I am filled with dread at what errors await over the next page. I'm fed up trying to debug someone elses errors; I do that every day anyway :(

"Spring: A Developer's Notebook is an attractive and ambitious book dealing with multiple advanced topics."
