I read and deployed first 4 chapters of this book and gave up reading on this book. When I bought this book I was impressed by Rod Johnson's praising Bruce A. Tate particularly for his style of sports commentary .. but I found http://static.springframework.org/docs/Spring-MVC-step-by-step/part1.html the best.

This includes the examples with necessary explaination too.

I would say do not buy this book.
