Filled with examples and background information, this book is an invaluable addition to your knowledge of modern agile Java. Learn simple annotation-driven dependency injection, scoping and AOP, and why it all works the way it works. Be the first to familiarize yourself with concepts that are likely to be included in a future Java EE or SE release (through JSR 299). Get things done without having to write any XML. What you'll learn Find out why dependency injection frameworks solve your problems, and how Guice fills that gap. What Guice can do, can't do and how to apply that knowledge.
