Spring Batch comes with samples that can help you to grasp the concepts and the reference documentation is quite comprehensive (there's a "best practices" section that lists nice tips).

If you want to quickly explore the features of Spring Batch, I wrote a workshop: https://github.com/acogoluegnes/Spring-Batch-Workshop . It should take you between half a day and a day to see all the topics (you can also work only on the topics you're interested in, they're independent).

There are also books: Pro Spring Batch (I haven't read it yet) and Spring Batch in Action (disclaimer: I co-authored this book). Spring Batch in Action explores the framework and also covers best practices all along the chapters.

Enjoy!

I would recommend Spring Batch in Action.
@ Arnaud, it is a very well written book. I found it very useful.
