The Angular Mini-Book is a
guide to getting started with Angular. You'll learn how to develop a bare-bones application, test it, and
deploy it. Then you'll move on to adding Bootstrap, Angular Material, continuous integration, and authentication.
Spring Boot is a popular framework for building REST APIs. You'll learn how to integrate Angular with Spring Boot and use security best practices like HTTPS and a content security policy.

The JHipster Mini-Book is a
guide to getting started with hip technologies today: Angular, Bootstrap, and Spring
Boot. All of these frameworks are wrapped up in an easy-to-use project called JHipster.
This book shows you how to build an app with JHipster, and guides you through the plethora of tools, techniques and options you can use. Furthermore, it explains the UI and API building blocks so you understand the underpinnings of your great application.

It looks like we'll have to wait until next week to get our hands on Spring Security 2 (the next release of Acegi Security). The good news is it looks much simpler. From what I can tell, this new code is available in Acegi's SVN repository. Here's to hoping the Acegi Team writes some sort of migration guide.
We've recently added some some new features to the AppFuse project. The first feature is the good folks at Mark Logic (primarily Jason Hunter) has setup a kick-ass mailing list archive for us at appfuse.markmail.org.
This is an easily searchable set of archives and goes all the way back to when our mailing list started in March 2004. In the future, they hope to provide RSS/Atom feeds and allow posting (like Nabble does). I've added a link to these archives to the mailing list page. To learn more about MarkMail, please see Jason's announcement of the service @ Apache.
The second feature is we've installed FishEye and Crucible (a code review tool) on AppFuse's server at Contegix. We've used FishEye in the past, but now we have it on our own server.
Thanks to Mark Logic and Atlassian for supporting the AppFuse project.
I received an e-mail this morning that said the following:
Congrats! Your blog has made it into the TOP 50 of The All Night Coder blog community, powered by SocialRank!!!
Then I clicked on the link they supplied and discovered I'm #1! Since I know it won't last, I figured I'd better take a screenshot.
