More about the book

This book provides practical guidance for developers building Spring-based applications, addressing common challenges by linking application-level issues to Spring-centric solutions. Unlike typical cookbooks, it offers essential background knowledge before presenting specific problem-solving steps. It covers 66 Spring development techniques and practical issues, beginning with three introductory chapters that establish foundational concepts. The core content guides you through vital techniques applicable to various application types, enhancing your skills with examples related to user accounts, security, NoSQL data stores, and application integration. You’ll also delve into domain-specific challenges, including CRM, configuration management, and site reliability. Key features include coverage of Spring 3, successful integration testing outcomes, numerous web app techniques using Spring MVC, and practical examples within real-world contexts. Each technique emphasizes a unique aspect of Spring in detail. While a solid understanding of Java and Java EE is assumed, prior knowledge of the Spring Framework is beneficial but not mandatory. The print edition includes a free eBook in PDF, Kindle, and ePub formats. The authors, Willie Wheeler and Joshua White, bring extensive experience in Java/Java EE and Spring Framework, ensuring valuable insights throughout the book.
