Features: Java developers are trapped in a quagmire of complexity and cannot extricate themselves. Our experience and capabilities are nearing their limits, and programmers spend far more time writing code to support chosen frameworks than solving actual problems. We can't help but ask, is it necessary to make Java so complex? The answer is no. This book shows you a way out. Whether maintaining applications or designing from scratch, you can break free from conventions and significantly streamline the basic framework, development process, and final code. You can regain control over once out-of-control J2EE applications... In this book, the original authors Bruce A. Tate and Justin Gehtland guide you step by step. First, they list five fundamental principles. They demonstrate how to build simple, decoupled code and tell you how to choose technology. They also analyze how two widely used open-source programs align with these concepts. Finally, the authors will build a simple yet rich application using these fundamental concepts to solve real-world problems. Have you ever wished that tools and frameworks could make things better? The code supporting technical frameworks often exceeds the portion that actually accomplishes the work, leaving you confused. Now is the time to return to the core of the problem and break free from the constraints of overly bloated software. At this point, you must understand what truly matters and figure out how to complete tasks simply and elegantly. This book will show you how to satisfy your clients (even your friends and family) through this new approach...
