Résumé

Java developers are drowning in a sea of complexity. We are approaching a horizon event, where programmers spend more time writing code to support their chosen frameworks than to solve actual problems. But does Java have to be this difficult?

No, it doesn't. Better, Faster, Lighter Java shows you the way out of this trap. Whether you're maintaining an application or designing one from the ground up, you can look beyond conventional wisdom and dramatically simplify your foundations, your process, and ultimately, your code. You can get your J2EE applications back under control.

In Better, Faster, Lighter Java, Bruce A. Tate and Justin Gehtland build from the ground up. First, they lay out five core principles. They demonstrate techniques to build simple, decoupled code, and walk you through how you should be choosing your technologies. They show how two popular open source applications embrace those concepts. Then, they put the core principles into practice, building a simple but remarkably rich application that solves complex real-world problems.

Have you ever thought that your tools and frameworks were getting the better of you? Have you ever felt that you were writing more code to support your framework than to accomplish the task at hand? Then it's time to get back to business and break away from the heavyweight bloatware that's holding you back. It's time to ask yourself what's really important, and figure out how to accomplish your tasks simply and elegantly. Better, Faster, Lighter, Java shows you how to get started on this new path. Your customers (and maybe even your friends and family) will thank you.
