Learning Spring Boot
Learn how to use Spring Boot to build apps faster than ever beforeAbout This BookCreate Spring-powered, production-grade applications and services with minimal fussSupport multiple environments with one artifact, and add production-grade support with features like custom metrics to track the number of messages published and consumedEach chapter introduces a different area that Spring Boot tackles and explains how to tweak your apps through different propertiesWho This Book Is ForThis book is for both novice developers in general and experienced Spring developers. It will teach you how to override Spring Boot's opinions and frees you from the need to define complicated configurations.
What You Will LearnUse Spring Boot's CLI tool to build rapid Groovy-based apps without even touching a build toolCraft a Spring JMS app with ActiveMQWork with multiple database configurations using Spring Data JPA in development and production as well as Spring Data MongoDBFind out exactly what beans Spring Boot is creating for you, and why it decided to do soSecure your app at the URL and method levelsUse Spring Data REST to export your Spring Data repositories to support independent clientsConfigure the embedded Tomcat servlet engine to use SSL and see how it automatically uses HSTSIn DetailThis practical, accessible guide helps you get up and running fast with Spring Boot. This book starts by crafting a Spring MVC application using the Spring stack on top of Apache Tomcat, with little configuration on from your end. You will also learn how to write both JUnit and Spock test cases. Then, you'll pull back the curtain and see how Spring Boot works by using Spring Messaging (JMS and AMQP) as well as creating custom metrics, custom information, and custom CLI commands aimed at production environments. In the last two chapters, you'll see how Spring Boot supports everyday situations we all deal with. You will learn how to create multiple configurations inside your app that can interact with different data stores.
By the end of the book, you'll have a good understanding of how Spring Boot works, how it manages low-level infrastructure, and how to start out production-grade apps with built-in support tools as well as custom ones.

An entry-level book for Spring Boot; although the book has a lot of examples, somehow I feel that most of them are overly simplistic and that going through the basic Boot examples both via tutorials or the reference documentation would have been a better use of my time.

Very nice book for all those people who want to learn something about Spring boot.
Of course is not a book for people who don't know java and spring. You should have some knowledge about fundamentals of Spring Framework.
What you will know after reading?
How to setup, configure and run spring boot. It is obvious ;) But in my opinion way how author presents that is very good. It simple, logical and cover most of common cases (and wrote some words about exceptional cases). You can treat as a "manual by example".
Finally I found some small mistakes and inconsistency in examples but as I wrote at beginning you should know about spring and then you can easily recognize this issues.

A nice book to get started on Spring Boot.
Java chapter needs a version of spring-social-github which is not directly available : I had to download the source code and build it locally to make it work.
I really miss some section about Spring Batch, but overall, liked it.

Unfortunately, reading this book is not any better than reading the official Spring Boot documentation. It's a good, but justifiably unnecessary introduction to the awesome technology.

Overall a good read and includes some useful tips and tricks. The book would have been better if it contained a more complete examples and some unit tests.
