CAMEL IN ACTION-2ND EDTION

CAMEL IN ACTION 2ND EDTION. The open source Apache Camel project has been at the forefront of the widespread adoption of Enterprise Integration Patterns on the JVM for many years. In fact it’s been so popular that some developers of other popular programming languages have cited it as a strong influence when they’ve implemented similar efforts. Apache Camel’s easy, intuitive, and extensible approach has made it possible for even novice developers to produce reliable solutions to complex problems in a realistic period of time. Th e vibrant open source community of contributors and users has helped evolve the project into new areas such as the cloud, mobile, and the Internet of Things (IoT). This positive feedback loop looks strong. Innovation continues on a daily basis led by a number of key contributors, most notably the authors of this book, Claus and Jon. I first heard of Claus and Jon when I became an early user of Apache Camel in a previous role. Their programming style was clear and concise, matched only by their patience, ability to communicate complex concepts at all levels, and their insatiable thirst to learn from the community of Apache Camel users and contributors in order to continually evolve and grow the project. Fast-forward a few years, and I was able to work much more closely with them and the rest of the Fuse team when Red Hat acquired FuseSource. I've learned that my initial love of Apache Camel was not misplaced, and we’ve seen huge success internally and externally with it.
