Learning Spring Boot 2.0

Rate this book
Spring Boot provides a variety of features that address today's business needs along with today's scalable requirements. In this book, you will learn how to leverage powerful databases and Spring Boot's state-of-the-art WebFlux framework. This practical guide will help you get up and running with all the latest features of Spring Boot, especially the new Reactor-based toolkit.

The book starts off by helping you build a simple app, then shows you how to bundle and deploy it to the cloud. From here, we take you through reactive programming, showing you how to interact with controllers and templates and handle data access. Once you're done, you can start writing unit tests, slice tests, embedded container tests, and even autoconfiguration tests.

We go into detail about developer tools, AMQP messaging, WebSockets, security, and deployment. You will learn how to secure your application using both routes and method-based rules. By the end of the book, you'll have built a social media platform from which to apply the lessons you have learned to any problem. If you want a good understanding of building scalable applications using the core functionality of Spring Boot, this is the book for you.

I've been spoiled. Many years ago, I learned Java from a book that was well-structured and coherent, written by someone - Ivor Horton - who knew both what he was talking about, and how to impart knowledge.

Returning to the language after it has evolved for more than 15 years, adding new features and functionality, I was hoping to be able to pick up the changes. Maybe, with a book that was structured, sequential, and explained its claims, I might have succeeeded. This is not that book.

This book is repleat with errors, half the code (well, any import statement after the first chapter) is missing, and it jumps around without reason or explanation. (The gem being the chapter on AMQP messaging, that starts by stating one doesn't develop features without a reason, then dives into how to use these services without giving any valid - or invalid - reason for doing so.)
