Pro Spring Boot(Apress,2016)

Pro Spring Boot is your authoritative hands-on practical guide for increasing your Spring Framework-based enterprise Java and cloud application productivity while decreasing development time using the Spring Boot productivity suite of tools. It’s a no, non-sense guide with case studies of increasing complexity throughout the book. This book is written by Felipe Gutierrez, a Spring expert consultant who works with Pivotal, the company behind the popular Spring Framework. Spring Boot makes it easy to create stand-alone, productio n-grade Spring-based applications that you can almost “just run”. The goal is to allow you to get started with minimum fuss. Most Spring Boot applications need very little Spring configuration. Spring Boot provides a radically faster and widely accessible getting started experience for all Spring development and provides a range of non-functional features that are common to large classes of projects (e.g. embedded servers, security, metrics, health checks, externalized configuration); and with absolutely no code generation nor requirements for XML configurations. After you read and use this book, you’ll be able to more quickly and most productively develop complex Spring applications and even microservices – out of the box – with minimal fuss on things like configurations. This book will let you fully leverage the Spring Boot productivity suite of tools and how to apply them through the use of a few case studies as well. Pro Spring is not a blatant clone of the supplied documentation. Instead...the authors gracefully introduce Spring by adopting a very pragmatic approach based on their real-world experiences with the framework. - Valentin Crettaz, JavaRanch Bartender Spring-the open source Java-based framework-allows you to build lighter, better performing applications. Written by Spring insiders Rob Harrop and Jan Machacek, Pro Spring is the only book endorsed by Rod Johnson, founder of the Spring Framework. At over 800 pages, this is by far the most comprehensive book available and thoroughly explores the power of Spring. You'll learn Spring basics and core topics, as well as share the authors' insights and real-world experience with remoting, mail integration, hibernate, and EJB. From the Foreword: 'Robs enthusiasm for Spring-and technology in general-is infectious. He has a wide range of industry experience and a refreshingly practical, common sense approach to applying it. All those qualities come out in this book. It's evident on nearly every page that it reflects in-depth experience with Spring and J2EE as a whole. Rob is not only an author and open source developer-he is an application developer, like his readers. I firmly believe that the best writing on software development comes out of experience in the trenches, so this is my kind of book. If you're new to Spring, this book will help you understand its core concepts and the background in areas such as transaction management and O/R mapping that underpins them. If youre already using Spring, you will learn about features you haven't yet seen and hopefully, gain a deeper understanding of those features youre already using.' -Rod Johnson, Founder of the Spring Framework
