<p>Middle Terra Firma was home to an idyllic countryside and a wondrous variety of fantastical beings and magical inhabitants. It existed in peace and contentment, until the arrival of the creature known as The Dark Rider, and the havoc he wreaked as he traveled the Black Highway in his sixteen-wheeled dragon. To quote from The Book of Roadtrippin' by Bivouac, son of Carouac: "It was he, The Dark Rider, who was in the driver's seat, and his wicked hands were clasped firmly on the wheel. Where he came from and where he was going nobody knew, but one thing was sure...there was no mistaking where he had been." Who is this terror bringing death and destruction to the magical land? Who are his victims and who has survived? What is his dire purpose...and where will it all end? Come, gentle readers -- be not afraid. The tale within these pages will explain all...except how to best prepare...</p>

<p>Don't panic! You're not timetripping! It's the tenth anniversary of the publication of Douglas Adams's zany, best-selling novel, and to celebrate Harmony is reissuing a special edition of this cult classic!By now the story is legendary. Arthur Dent, mild-mannered, out-to-lunch earth-ling, is plucked from his planet by his friend Ford Prefect just seconds before it was demolished to make way for a hyper-space bypass. Ford, posing as an out-of-work actor, is a researcher for the revised edition of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Together the gruesome twosome begin their now-famous inter-galactic journey through time, space and best-sellerdom.For Hitchhiker fanatics (you know who you are!) who've read the books, seen the television program, and listened to the radio show, as well as newcomers to Douglas Adams's unique universe -- remember -- don't panic, don't forget to bring a towel, and don't forget to celebrate The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy's tenth anniversary by wearing your bathrobe.</p>

<p>Pro Apache Struts with Ajax maps out how to use the Apache Struts MVC web framework, so you can solve everyday web application development challenges. This book takes an application-centric approach: the development of an application drives Struts along with Ajax coveragenot the other way around. Improper design can lead to long-term dependencies on the Struts framework, which makes code reuse difficult to achieve. This is the only book of its kind, covering the Struts 1.2 framework. It also covers forthcoming evolutions into Shale and lightweight WebWork/Struts Ti. Authors Carnell and Harrop discuss Struts from an antipattern perspective, and the end result is that youll learn to use Struts very effectively!</p>

Fortunately, Spring Boot, Spring Cloud, and Spring Cloud Gateway simplify the tedious plumbing and infrastructure setup required for microservice applications. Spring Boot removes the boilerplate code involved with writing a REST-based service. Spring Cloud provides a suite of tools for the discovery, routing, and deployment of microservices to the enterprise and the cloud. Spring Cloud Gateway provides a clear and effective routing to APIs, with a single entry point into a system. Together, they make it a snap to spin up Spring applications as microservices and wire them together into a reliable, scalable system.</div> <div style="color: rgb(51,51,51);text-transform: none;text-indent: 0.0px;letter-spacing: normal;font-size: 17.25px;font-style: normal;font-weight: 300;word-spacing: 0.0px;white-space: normal;orphans: 2;widows: 2;background-color: rgb(255,255,255);"> <h2 style="color: inherit;text-transform: lowercase;line-height: 1.1;font-size: 27.0px;font-weight: 300;margin-top: 42.0px;margin-bottom: 10.5px;">about the book</h2> Fully updated and upgraded for the latest version of Spring, <span>&nbsp;</span> <i style="">Spring Microservices in Action, Second Edition</i> <span>&nbsp;</span>is an expanded revision of a Manning bestseller.
