Keil Werner. Enterprise 2.0 with Agorava: Social Frameworks for the Java Platform

Leanpub, 2020. — 47 p. — ISBN: NA.This version was published on 2020-11-09.Hopefully things will change as the social media industry stabilizes a bit more and is more ready for standardization. In the meanwhile community projects like Agorava have a very important part to play. In absence of any real open standards, Agorava can provide some level of interoperability through a common interface for the very divergent social media APIs of today - at least for Java and Java EE developers. The project is also very significant to the Java EE ecosystem on its own right. It demonstrates first-hand how CDI extensions can effectively build upon the stable core of the Java EE platform where needed while still adhering as closely as possible to the principles of interoperability and vendor-neutrality.This book is critically important to the project. It provides great background of the social media industry, explains the core concepts important for Java social media developers, describes the so far feeble efforts towards standardization, covers the other Java social media projects, shares the motivation for the project as well as of course providing a technical overview and deep dive of the Agorava API. Given the volatility, depth and complexity of the topic, this book was no doubt a very tough one to write.To boot I can’t think of a better person than Werner to write the book. He has demonstrated his deep personal commitment to openness, standardization, Java and Java EE over many years as well as his clear command of the social media industry and Agorava. I hope the project and the book will prove invaluable to any Java social media developer.Standardisation
