Overview of this book

<p>Google Guice is an open source software framework for the Java platform released by Google under the Apache License. It provides support for dependency injection using annotations to configure Java objects.</p> <p>Learning Google Guice is a concise, hands-on book that covers the various areas of dependency injection using the features provided by the latest version of Google Guice. It focuses on core functionalities as well as the various extensions surrounding Guice that make it useful in other areas like web development, integration with frameworks for web development, and persistence.</p> <p>Learning Google Guice covers Guice extensions which avoid complex API usage. You will start by developing a trivial application and managing dependencies using Guice. As the book gradually progresses, you will continue adding complexity to the application while simultaneously learning how to use Guice features such as the Injector, Provider, Bindings, Scopes, and so on. Finally, you will retrofit the application for the Web, using Guice not only to manage dependencies, but also to solve configuration related problems.</p>

Installing MySQL


MySQL is available freely (community edition) from http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql. Choose the operating system and follow the instructions mentioned for it.

Microsoft Windows

Pick up a convenient download option available for windows from the download section of MySQL website. Choose an option according to your platform (32-bit or 64-bit). Download the .zip file. Unzip the archive, and start the installation using setup.exe or setup.msi (Microsoft installer file). The installation wizard gives you various options like Typical, Complete, or Custom. Choose the one which suits your needs.

Mac OSX

Pick up a convenient download option available for Mac OSX from the choices (for example mysql-5.6.12-osx10.7-x86_64.dmg). Click the .dmg file, and the setup installation process should start. Choose any of the available options available which suit your needs.

Linux

Most of the Linux installations come with a pre-bundled MySQL. In case there is no pre-installed bundle present, download the distribution-specific file by choosing your Linux variant and proceed by launching the file.

Note

A typical MySQL installation would provide you a server, a command-line client, and command-line utilities such as mysqldump and myiasmchk. These tools help in administering the MySQL server.
