Getting Started with Roo

Josh Long and Steve Mayzak - Personal Name;

This is my first book with O’Reilly, and I’m very grateful for their help and encour- agement. Their editorial team is first class, and efficient. It was great working with you. I, like many of you, have been using Spring for a long, long time. I wasn’t initially convinced I needed Spring Roo (to be honest). It wasn’t until I sat with Ben Alex and Stefan Schmidt about a year ago and really started looking at it that I realized it was simply too valuable to ignore. There’s a lot of power here and what really struck me was how that power didn’t imply compromise: you can always go home again, and assert full control over your application. Eventually, you stop worrying about that at all, and just let Spring Roo do the work. One adage you hear a lot in the devops/build tool world is that, “your application is not a unique snowflake.” That’s true of infra- structure code, too. Spring Roo helps you bootstrap all that tedious infrastructure code, if you let it. It’s like fast-forwarding a movie to the fun parts, quicker. It almost feels like cheating! I want to thank my coauthor, Steve Mayzak, for all his help. We did this book and prepared a talk for OSCON, all in a very short space. It was a three-person job, but he took up the slack and got us to the finish line. Amazing work and I definitely owe you, kind sir. I want to thank my wife, Richelle. She’s learned, I think, that I am not a multitasking husband. Every now and then, I disappear into our home office and come back with a beard a week later (and, sometimes, some useful byproduct like a chapter or working code). It takes a patient, saintly woman to suffer that; she has, at every turn. Thanks, honey!
