《Spring Boot in Action》是一本專為熟悉 Spring Framework 的開發者所寫的實戰指南，聚焦於如何運用 Spring Boot 大幅簡化 Java 應用程式的開發流程。Spring Boot 以「約定優於設定」為核心理念，讓開發者跳過繁瑣的組態工作，快速啟動專案，將心力集中在應用程式的行為與商業邏輯上。作者 Craig Walls 以多年 Spring 開發與教學經驗，透過清楚且實用的範例，說明如何有效運用 Spring Boot 的自動組態機制，同時在需要時進行客製化調整。書中涵蓋測試、部署、Actuator 監控、命令列工具（CLI）、以及與 Groovy、Grails 的整合應用，完整呈現 Spring Boot 在實務開發中的優勢。本書內容務實、節奏明快，適合希望提升開發效率、減少設定負擔的 Java 與 Spring 開發者閱讀，是理解與上手 Spring Boot 的重要入門與進階參考。Although Spring Framework simplifies enterprise Java development, it can require a lot from developers in terms of framework configuration. Spring Boot radically streamlines the process of creating Spring applications by employing automatic configuration, along with a programming model built around established conventions for build-time and runtime dependencies. It also provides a component that gives insight into the internals of a running application and a handy CLI that can be used to write command-line scripts in Groovy. Developers who have used Spring Boot say that th

[名家名著] 36 BDD in Action中文版（第二版） BDD in Action, Second Edition ❝《BDD in Action 》第一版與第二版我都細讀過。書中內容相當完整，但要全面實踐並不容易。我自己的做法是將BDD 套用在Clean Architecture 的核心層：先撰寫使用案例測試（透過ezSpec），再撰寫production code。能在「使用案例層」與「領域層」落實BDD，已經非常有價值；至於介面層與框架層，則仍採傳統的「先寫程式，再寫測試」。 你不必強求看懂本書所有細節，但務必從中學到能改變行為的一些觀點與技巧。理解Christopher Alexander對設計的定義，將幫助你站在更高的視角閱讀本書，避免在術語的迷宮中迷失，更能掌握BDD 的核心價值與精神。❞ ────「搞笑談軟工」板主Teddy Chen　專文推薦 ❝這就是BDD最打動我的地方。它不強調工具，不推銷框架，而是讓你反問：「我們到底有沒有釐清需求？我們是不是做了很多努力，卻在錯的方向上奔跑？」這本書沒有標準答案，但它給你很多值得思考、值得實作的方法。 ……程式開發從來就不是「閉門造車」，也不是在白板上畫出一個完美的心智圖就萬事OK了；而是從問題開始，一點一滴趨近需求，一次次讓對話更有力量。這本書給我們的不是標準流程，而是一種態度：我們不是為「開發功能」而開發，而是為了「解決問題」、為了「交付價值」。希望這本書也能帶給你一些啟發，甚至開啟你下一場更有共識、更有價值的專案。❞ ────本書譯者　江玠峰 ❝John和Jan一如往常地，以清晰詳實的筆觸描述了許多實用技巧。我自己讀到新內容時也不禁點頭認同，甚至還有幾次「恍然大悟」的時刻。我很高興將近20年過去了，BDD依然能引發這麼多關注與興趣，也非常感謝John和Jan為這本如此全面的參考書推出新版。❞ ────Daniel Terhorst-North，實務顧問 BDD(Behavior-Driven Development，行為驅動開發)是一種以協作為核心的軟體設計方法，透過具體的範例，它能將應用程式的需求與行為轉換成更清楚、可測試的規格。BDD的流程會納入來自組織內不同角色的觀點，讓軟體更能同時契合終端使用者的需求與業務利害關係人的目標。本書介紹的協作實踐與自動化策略，將幫助你充分發揮BDD的價值，為開
