Synopsis
Java is not only a popular technology but has also become the standard technology for developing applications in many corporations around the world. The Spring Framework and Hibernate combined provide a way to rapidly develop enterprise Java applications with less code. The Eclipse IDE compliments these technologies by provided a complete GUI-based development, debugging and building environment. This book not only covers these core technologies, but also touches upon other open source tools including Ant and JUnit. It provides a complete guide from the technology and software development process perspective.

Most Helpful Customer Reviews   10 of 10 people found the following review helpful: An awful book - hugely disappointing!, 16 Feb 2007 By  A. Davis (UK) - See all my reviews    This book sysnopsis leads you to believe that this will give you an introduction on how to use Hibernate Spring and Eclipse for agile development. It doesn't do it well; it doesn't even give you a good introduction to any of the individual subjects. The "worked" example is so badly done that it's impossible to code it yourself. The author will start a section with the impression that you will incrementally build the example, but you can't as all of it is dependent on other parts being completed (these haven't at that point been covered and this will also be done very superficially).The section on Spring is really poor. You end up with very litle idea of how to use Spring, the author (throughout the book) just gives snapshots of portions of code and xml with no adequate explanation. It seems that the author has developed an application and only has described, very briefly, only the portions of the application, and only very briefly the bits of Spring and Hibernate he used to develop it. On top of all that, there is a smugness in his writing that eventually becomes somewhat irritating. If you want an introduction to any of the subjects this book purports to cover, save your money and look elsewhere.  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?

The author of this book was very ambitious as to the amount of understanding that they were trying to deliver. Dispensing with many of the page filling/book swelling instructions on installing the components, most of the chapters are a head first dive into practical examples from the accompanying book code examples illustrating each of the technologies. This results in a experience that has a steep learning curve, for example I had to go away and check the online documentation for junit, spring and hibernate at various points to fully understand the examples.  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you? (Report this)   5 of 5 people found the following review helpful: Good Intro to various Agile Java technologies, 9 Oct 2006 By  Tom "- Java Consultant" (Nottingham) - See all my reviews An excellent introduction to Agile and the varous technolgies. This book is for beginners who want to get an introduction to various technolgies like hibernate, Spring, Eclipse, Junit and Ant. This by no means will make you an expert but atleast you will know what each technology does and how they are brought together, as the sample application does in the book. I really liked the writing style and found it simple and the book itself a quick read, nothing really bogged me down. The book is also new so all tools once downloaded and installed work with the sample application.
