It’s been a while since I haven’t blogged… but that’s because I was busy writing two books on Quarkus! When Quarkus was announced in November 2018 I was very enthusiastic with what I saw. It was the beginning of Quarkus, but it was already promoting developer’s joy (hot reload, easy configuration, etc.), Cloud-Native, speed, small… but what I liked the most was the fact that … Continue reading Two Quarkus Books for Christmas

This book concentrates on Java EE 6 and highlights the new features of this release. It explores the innovations of this new version, and examines the various specifications and how to assemble them to develop applications. Java EE 6 consists of nearly 30 specifications and is an important milestone for the enterprise layer (EJB 3.1, JPA 2.0), for the web tier (Servlet 3.0, JSF 2.0), and for interoperability (SOAP web services and RESTful services). This book covers a broad part of the Java EE 6 specifications and uses the JDK 1.6 and some well-known design patterns, as well as the GlassFish application server, the Derby database, JUnit, and Maven. It is abundantly illustrated with UML diagrams, Java code, and screenshots.
