First off, we would like to start by saying that 'we love Spring'. The way it has completely transformed and simplified the Java landscape for developers cannot be understated. It is now recognised by recruiters as almost a mandatory skill. Because of this you can see why getting certified is a valuable asset on the CV to enable a developer to differentiate themselves from the crowd. However, we recognise that there is not a lot of help out there for would-be exam-sitters, hence we created this site.

This is your one-stop-shop to get Spring Certified (Exam Code: CoreSpringV3.0).

From here you can find advice on:

Spring is the hottest skill in the market for Java developers today. You can guarantee that virtually every interview you might take will demand that you have Spring experience at some level. In my job as a Senior Java consultant, I routinely interview candidates who claim to have Spring skills. Sadly, they crumble under the slightest bit of interview pressure and their claims of Spring experience are soon revealed to be false when they fail to answer even the simplest of questions. My advice...

Don't be a fake:

Core Spring certification will help you stand head and shoulders above the competition.

We recommend you visit skill-guru and try out their Core Spring certification mocks. They are the best on the web and a bargain at only $1.99 (USD).

We also whole heartedly recommend Craig Walls latest edition of the Manning Spring in Action book. This is based on Spring 3.0 and is essential reading for both novices and experts alike. There is no better book to help you prepare for this examination. The latest revision is now focussed on a more restricted set of topics that are in even closer alignment to the examination syllabus.
