Effective Enterprise Java Review by S. Pittala
Book could be zipped into a tenth of the size.
The book has too much of unwanted commentary, to be called as a technical book. He showed his unwanted English language narrative skills. Actual content is very minimal, which we deal with every day. Why would a dumb guy want to know about framework and architecture? He repeats most of the content atleast 10 times.
He talks about efficiency, but his book is not efficient. He could have saved a lot of paper and environment, not the least our time by trying to be to the point.
Eg quote from book: "Oh, don't get me wrong, I'm not suggesting that we don't need to process the credit card payment, I'm just suggesting it doesn't need to be done while user is waiting ." The problem with that statement is redundancy. "Oh, don't get me wrong" is completely redundant. All such comments across the book gave the book an unitelligent look. (Infact, whenever he faces an analysis like what I did, he keeps on writing for 2 pages atleast)
Man, there are lots and lots of such silly jokes. He himself keeps saying "please bear with me". I'm disappointed that he initially embarked on a good book, but he got dragged away by some bad advice to bloat the book. He gave some good points though. But doesn't deserve the size of the book.
