Who this book is for

This book is for programmers working with Apache Camel who just want to get things done, without learning the entire framework up front. Those who are new to Camel and need a starting point will find it particularly useful in building up momentum with the framework.

We intended this book to be read as a set of individual how-to recipes to be accessed when needed. It is possible to read the book from cover to cover, but you should feel free to jump around between recipes; most are entirely self-contained, and those that are not reference the required prerequisites. Each recipe contains links to in-depth background reading, and pointers to other recipes that may come in handy when building system integrations using the techniques being discussed.
