If you ask me, I could write a book... Spring Roo in Action
Thursday, May 13, 2010 at 7:01AM I am pleased to announce that, along with Craig Walls and my long-time friend and co-worker Gordon Dickens, I am writing a book in Spring Roo for Manning Publications.
I cooked up the idea after interviewing Ben Alex in November. Since Gordon and I are both Spring consultants and trainers and cover a lot of Spring-based technology, we felt that we were poised to jump on the book, as Roo is proving wildly popular and we already had the background to start quickly. And anyway, I think Manning owes Gordon something as he owns and technically reviews just about every MEAP and a large number of books (just kidding).
We all thank Manning for giving us this opportunity.
Spring Roo in Action is going to cover all aspects of this tool, including basic functionality, JPA and MVC features, Roo and AspectJ ITDs, add-ons, and a lot more. I am currently wrapping up chapter one, and a MEAP will be coming within a few months.
This is a big commitment, and so I am going to start some occasional blogging on topics of interest around Roo, and monitoring the book forums and Spring forums, etc. I am looking forward to contributing, and Gordon and I are thrilled that Craig showed interest in participating as well. He has already been extremely helpful to us in getting started.
More news soon.

Can't wait to buy my own copy. It has been almost 2 weeks, any further announcements? :D
Think Mike Myers in "Middle Aged Man," a great skit on SNL back in the 90's. "I'm working on it!"
