Does "ProSpring" talk about "AppFuse" besides Spring ?

[K Huang]

I just start a new job using AppFuse with Spring, Struts,....
I am wondering if this book "ProSpring" has other related technologies besides Spring ? I feel there are many nice stuff are all combined together. Hopefully I don't have to read too many books to learn them.

Unfortunately no, Pro Spring has no coverage of AppFuse. You might want to check out Spring Live as well since I believe that covers AppFuse in some detail. I think it is fair to say though that Pro Spring covers the Spring framework itself in much greater detail than Spring Live.

That is good. AppFuse is not too complicate. On-line doc should be enough.

Spring Live doesn't have anything on AppFuse b/c the readers wanted me to save it for a later chapter (and cover Spring-specifics first). I'll probably write a chapter on it later this summer or fall. The tutorials should be good enough for now - or you can subscribe to mailing list: [e-mail].

Thanks !

Looks like many technologies can be used together, but I cannot expect just by reading a book to learn them all. I believe sooner or later AppFuse will grow big enough, then it will deserve a whole book to cover it.

I found out the the job market for Spring is very good now. Invest on it is worthwhile.
