Beginning Java EE 5: From Novice to Professional (Beginning: from Novice to Professional) Review by T. Fitzpatrick
All of the Above, yet awkward.
This book was a plethora of useful knowledge. However, it wasn't a jump in and get dirty type of title. When starting the path towards EJB/J2EE coding, one needs to do less messing around with devshed pre-coded examples, and learn by doing.
This text references proprietary JAR packages from the authors. It is my feeling that APress let down the beginning J2EE/EJB programmer here. This book is not for the beginner java programmer -
Repetition goes far when learning a new area of any language.
Bottom Line:
If you want to get up and go and are good at installing all the pre-defined jargon (or are highly skilled with guesswork) and just want some great examples, this book is great for You. If you prefer the repetition route, look elsewhere.
- Hope this helps.
