Java developers are trapped in a quagmire of complexity and cannot extricate themselves. We are nearing a limit where the time spent writing code to support chosen structures exceeds the time spent solving real problems. But is Java necessarily so difficult? No, it doesn’t have to be. A Lighter, Faster Way to Java can show you a way out. Whether you’re maintaining an application or starting a design from scratch, you can break free from conventions and significantly simplify basic structures, development, and finally the code itself. You’ll regain control over once-unmanageable J2EE applications. In A Lighter, Faster Way to Java, authors Bruce A. Tate and Justin Gehtland explain it all from the ground up. First, they list five fundamental principles, demonstrating how to build simple, independent code and guiding you on how to choose technologies. They also explain how two widely adopted open-source applications incorporate these concepts. Finally, the authors apply these principles to a simple yet rich application to solve real-world problems. Have you ever imagined tools and platform structures that could make your life better? Have you ever been frustrated by writing more code to support technical frameworks than to complete actual work? It’s time to return to the core of the problem and. At this point, you must ask yourself what truly matters and discover how to accomplish tasks simply and elegantly. A Lighter, Faster Way to Java will show you this new path. Your users (even your friends and family) will thank you. This book won the 2005 Jolt Award for Best Technical Book.
