<part xml:id="spring-core">
<title>Core Technologies</title>
<partintro>
<para>
This initial part of the reference documentation covers
all of those technologies that are absolutely integral
to the Spring Framework.
</para>
<para>
Foremost amongst these is the Spring Framework's
Inversion of Control (IoC) container. A thorough treatment
of the Spring Framework's IoC container is closely followed
by comprehensive coverage of Spring's Aspect-Oriented
Programming (AOP) technologies. The Spring Framework has
its own AOP framework, which is conceptually easy to understand,
and which successfully addresses the 80% sweet spot of AOP
requirements in enterprise programming.
</para>
<para>
The core functionality also includes an expression language
for lightweight scripting and a ui-agnostic validation framework.
</para>
<para>
Finally, the adoption of the test-driven-development (TDD)
approach to software development is certainly advocated by
the Spring team, and so coverage of Spring's support for
integration testing is covered (alongside best practices for
unit testing). The Spring team have found that the correct
use of IoC certainly does make both unit and integration
testing easier (in that the presence of properties and
appropriate constructors on classes makes them
easier to wire together on a test without having to set up
service locator registries and suchlike)... the chapter
dedicated solely to testing will hopefully convince you of
this as well.
