Write code that writes code with Elixir macros. Macros make metaprogramming possible and define the language itself. In this book, you'll learn how to use macros to extend the language with fast, maintainable code and share functionality in ways you never thought possible.
"Seven Languages in Seven Weeks" presents a meaningful exploration of seven languages within a single book. Rather than serve as a complete reference or installation guide, the book hits what's essential and unique about each language.
Don't accept the compromise between fast and beautiful: you can have it all. Phoenix creator Chris McCord, Elixir creator Jose Valim, and award-winning author Bruce Tate walk you through building an application that's fast and reliable
Adoption is more than programming. Elixir is an exciting new language, but to successfully get your application from start to finish, you're going to need to know more than just the language. The case studies and strategies in this book will get you there.
Focusing on antipatterns, this advanced book delves into common pitfalls encountered in EJB technology. It provides insights into recognizing and avoiding these traps, enhancing the reader's understanding of effective practices in enterprise Java development. Through detailed examples and analyses, the book aims to improve software design and architecture, making it a valuable resource for developers looking to refine their skills and avoid frequent mistakes in EJB implementation.
The authors argue that the old heavyweight architectures are unwieldy, complicated and contribute to slow and buggy application code. As an alternative means for building better applications the authors present two 'lightweight' open source architectures - Hibernate and Spring
"This book cuts through layers of overhead, and makes enterprise application development simple again. It shows you how to take advantage of Spring to write lightweight applications that perform heavyweight tasks. Instead of writing very specialized components that only live in complex containers, you'll be writing plain old Java objects that are simple to test and deploy. You'll see how to use Spring to build everything from GUIs and web frontends to back ends that access a relational database. You'll be able to add services such as transactions and security to your application by writing a few lines in a configuration file."--Jacket
