Pro JSF and Ajax: Building Rich Internet Components Review by Brett Merkey
Advanced Guide
The authors begin "This book is not, and we would like to emphasize this, not an introductory level book..." That's for certain. Except for quick review material in the first chapter, the authors move quickly into a project that assumes a good amount of experience.
The book effectively follows a pattern that you have seen before. Build a simple component, integrate it, then progressively build in functionality and complexity while dealing with usability and maintainability issues.
One factor that makes this book stand out is the great number of flow diagrams. This book has the expected code printouts and screenshots but the extra emphasis on logic diagrams is exceptional. Also not seen in other JSF books are two chapters on providing Mozilla XUL and Microsoft .htc renderers. Yes, the last is a bit of a surprise!
