E-Book Overview
The book starts off well and the author makes several good points about having lighter objects and not being tied to a particular framework, but then it digresses into refactoring evangelism. Despite what this apologist believes, design cannot be neglected altogether as refactoring becomes more and more expensive as a system grows larger and parts get more complex. Just look at all the items still left over from Java 1.0 or 1.1. How many methods has Sun deprecated that are still around? Take many of the concepts to heart up to about page 50, then just chuck the rest. Design well, but have allowance for refactoring. Build smaller pieces and not monolithic objects.

Better, Faster, Lighter Java By Justin Gehtland, Bruce A. Tate
Publisher: O'Reilly Pub Date: June 2004 ISBN: 0596006764 Pages: 250
In Better, Faster, Lighter Java authors Bruce Tate and Justin Gehtland argue that the old heavyweight architectures, such as WebLogic, JBoss, and WebSphere, are unwieldy, complicated, and contribute to slow and buggy application code. As an alternative, the authors present two "lightweight" open source architectures, Hibernate and Spring, that can help you create enterprise applications that are easier to maintain, write, and debug, and are ultimately much faster. < day="" day="" up="">
