Re: [Springframework-developer] Thanks to all the Spring developers

[Rod J. <rod...@in...>]

Lars,

Thanks for your kind words.

Regarding the learning curve, any suggestions on what we can do to make
Spring easier to learn are welcome. I don't think Spring is inherently
complex, although it does do a lot. But I do appreciate that getting to
grips with it--especially in combination with other products such as
Hibernate--may be a challenge, and I want to try to change that.

Regards,
Rod
