Apress.Google.Guice.Agile.Lightweight.Dependency.Injection.Frame...

books, in your choice of electronic or print-on-demand format, with no rough edges even when

the technology itself is still rough. You can't afford to be without them.

Dear Reader,

This book welcomes you to the world of Google Guice (pronounced “juice”), the latest and

greatest dependency injection framework that fully exploits all modern Java™ features. One

step at a time, this book will help turn any XML-spitting programmer into a true Guice master,

or a “Bob,” as I like to say.

Writing this book was not an easy task, so in addition to Apress, I’d like to thank some people

in particular. First, I would like to thank Dhanji R. Prasanna for referring me to Apress to write

this book. He has also done a fantastic job as my technical reviewer. I’d also like to thank Bob

Lee, the inventor of Guice, who kindly answered all of my questions and inspired much of the

content in Chapter 8. Finally, a big thank you goes out to my friends, my parents, my brother,

and anyone who believes in me; you are the people who put the smile on my face.

Now, put on your Batman or Catwoman costume; open up a bottle of wine; pick up this book;

and put your feet up. Be a Java hero, and may Guice help you on your way. Just don’t forget to

send me a picture of you in that getup.
