Agile Java Development with Spring, Hibernate and Eclipse
Have just started working through this book, it seems a good introduction to the world of Agile Java Development: covering the Spring Framework, Hibernate, Eclipse, also Java dev tools like Ant and JUnit, plus the methodologies Extreme Programming and Agile Model Driven Development.
Currently on Chapter 4, which covers setting up your dev env with JDK, Ant and JUnit. Next few chapters cover Hibernate and the Spring Framework.
Have now started working through a new book - Java Design Pattern Essentials - to practise my Java coding, having gone through the “SCJP 6 Study Guide” book.
Its interesting to see how the concepts and theories I have learnt are actually used.
The book contains a full example for each Design Pattern and its also a good way to learn the Design Patterns and the general theory of design patterns.
The first example I’ve done is Chapter 14 – Chain of Responsibility – which allows more than one object to handle a request. The receiving objects are chained and pass the request along the chain until an object handles it.
The example code includes an interface, an abstract class, several concrete sub-classes and a static method. I also added my own Test14 class, which is used to test it, which it does with a for-each loop, string array and calls to the static method.
Added a DevBlog Amazon Store to the site, where you can browse/buy lots of books related to the contents of the site.
Topics include Java Development, Java Development Tools, Java Certification, Databases, Design Patterns, Spring Framework and so on.
Also I’ll provide links to useful books – such as -
