Spring ultimate basics: What are Spring Beans and what is the Spring Container?

Before you start with Spring it is a must have that you understand what Spring beans are. In my opinion this is explained in a too complicated way in most resources out there. I really aim to make it as simple as possible. In short: Spring bean: an instance of a class managed by the Spring Container Spring (IoC) Container: the core part of Spring that is responsible for managing all the beans In this video I will explain that (after a general introduction to Spring) and I will show you a code demo to show you how and what Spring beans get instantiated.
