Part 1 Getting started with Quarkus

What is Quarkus? Why and how should I start developing applications with it? How does it compare to the countless other frameworks in the Java and JVM landscape? Will it actually make my life easier, or is it just another framework that one has to learn? Is it just for server-side stuff, or can I use it on the client side as well? What about the cloud? Can I use it there?

In the first part of the book, we will take a look at all these questions. We will have a look at the basic philosophy of Quarkus and what makes it different from other frameworks. Then we will jump straight into some basic examples and get our hands dirty with some code. It’s going to be a fun ride!
