Is it worth it?

Maybe ;) Listen to couple of reviews on JIRA Development Cookbook!

"Jobin Kuruvilla, an experienced JIRA consultant and plugin developer, set out on the ambitious task to write a detailed and thorough book about JIRA plugin development. The result? A well crafted 450+ page book that starts by introducing the reader to Atlassian’s plugin framework and ends with useful recipes usually gained only by weathered experience. It’s a great read for Atlassian plugin developers at all levels."

"I felt compelled to write a review of this book because I think it deserves it, it's a must-have for a JIRA plugin programmer. Before writing this, I thought I'd write a more in-depth review. Surprisingly, I discovered that enumerating each and every subject this book covers was not necessary: it's a homogeneous, extensive and well organized book.

From a developer standpoint, it's an effective and efficient mean to learn the subject and get the job done, much better than any tutorial I've seen so far. Together with the official Atlassian JIRA documentation, this book is pretty much all you need."

So, there it is! Grab this chance and become a proud owner of JIRA 5.x Development Cookbook. And don't forget to review the same so that we can make it even better in the next edition!

And, if you can't wait a month, order your copy today at Amazon or Packt website.

Within large organizations, the need arises for customizable Jira workflows but without an expert in this field the company is hesitant to change due to the overhead involved in maintaining. Hope to learn some tricks to simplify.

Jira is such a complex program that even dedicated Jira Administrators can easily get overwhelmed with options and possible add-ons. It would be great to have a one stop guide to use as a reference when confronted with new questions that you do not have an immediate answer for.

Ever had a problem not being able to do something in JIRA you think you should be able to do? Is your organization hounding you to add new functionality to JIRA? This is a solution for all JIRA problems your company may face. The cook book will provide you and your organization tools to developing plugins and customizing your JIRA experience to better suite your company needs.

While JIRA has many useful features, there are always functions users want that are not in the base system. Customizing fields, functions, workflows, and plugins allow those needs to be met.

Complex working practices require complex solutions. While JIRA, out-of-the-box and with all the available plugins and customizations it allows, caters for the bulk of these, there will always be a need for some business-specific functionality that can only be done in-house. Having an easy-to-understand, skill-building and -enhancing book to enable a company to take the jump from 'consumer' of JIRA to 'developer' would be a big advantage.

Would love to win a copy of this book! We're big fans of JIRA over here!

Looking forward to the book. It should help in mastering JIRA, creating a better environment for the users, and making all of us (dev, QA, project managers, admins, etc) proficient at what we do.

I NEED THIS BOOK! Why? # 1, I love to cook! # 2, I love JIRA! # 3, I just purchased JIRA Jr for my lead engineers with children & # 4, sounds like a step-by-step guide to getting the MOST & BEST out of JIRA. As a JIRA user since v2.x, I've never seen nor heard of a book like this one. The reviews sound great. I want it.

Customizing JIRA is a must in a software development company when there are several work methods. JIRA is a good platform, and if you aim to fulfill the users needs, you'll get familiar with groovy, .vm templates and will create a basic listener.

Jira - as it is delivered - has not all the features we need. We started writing our own plugins or using other's plugins some years ago. I hope to get a book, showing me the possibilities we have with plugins made especially for Jira 5. Especially custom fields are a little problem for me.

My team find JIRA difficult to use so i spend a lot of time coming up with new ways of improving things for them, any tips would be very useful

I have and cherish Jira Development Cookbook for Jira v4. Would like to have the latest for Jira v4!

We are going to upgrade to JIRA 6 pretty soon. I would be great if we can see a publish of this book for JIRA 6

As a product owner and subject matter expert of a JIRA instance supporting over 4000 users, 200 projects, and over 400k issues, most of my day is spent talking to adopters on customizations or searching for custom solutions to resolve a pain point for 1 of my teams. How awesome would it be to grab the cookbook and look it up. The things I could accomplish. :)

This book looks like a great resource to have! :)

Lots of good material in the previous one, can't wait to see what this one has to offer.

At the first glance, i thought Jira is a tool dedicated to the application development. But in fact, with the possibility to customize field, workflow, add gadget and so one, it is a very powerful tool that fit in almost all context.
I'm very exited to see how this book can push the limit of this wonderful tool!

We "had" to build a custom plugin to meet our development team's needs. Before embarking on another project like that, this book will be a must read.

But I want a JIRA 6 version ...

Philip Colmer

I would love to be able to learn more about customising and extending JIRA so that I can help the company get more out of it. If that means developing custom code and this book would help me with that, then that is just the icing on the cake!

Wystan

The extensions to the querying functionality in jql-tricks have been really useful to me in constructing the agile views of issues that I want. I'm inclined to see what else these gugs have to offer in this book!

Just upgraded to 5.2.9 and could really use a book like this introduce me to programming for JIRA!

I love Jira's extensibility. We've created some amazing apps in it and having even more technical knowledge would make it an even greater asset.

I am an JIRA administrator with several years of experience. I would like to extend this experience with the ability to create new plug-ins. I have a few ideas that I think would be useful.

I expect this book would show me THE RIGHT WAY to implement plugins in JIRA and also give me some background on how the JIRA "bodyparts" cooperate with each other, so I have a better grasp on the entire system.

My expectation from this book is to cover the lack of awful documentation that you can find around.

The previous version of this book has helped me a lot in the development of many plugins I made to Jira.
So, my expectations are to continue learning about the development of plugins for Jira

JIRA Development Cookbook v4 is an amazing resource! I'm constantly referring to it. Having an updated version for Jira v5 would be nice; however, if I win a free copy that would be perfect!

This would be a great resource to have as I am just learning Jira Administration.

Glad to know that JIRA 5.x Development Cookbook was already released. A very helpful resource to handle organization needs. We are going to upgrade JIRA 6 pretty soon so hope this would help us very much for our migration and daily needs. Best of luck Jobin..

I have been using jura for couple of years and I have to say, that it merges with basic company needs more and more, thou there is deeper and deeper tweaking and customisation needed.
