Overall value of the book:5

Instructional value of the book:4

Reference value of the book: 4

This book unlike other most books is made by Java
experts in their own field. the book assumes prior
knowledge of the topics and does not intend to take
a beginner from ignorance to knowledge.

this book is intended not for beginners but some
experts in the Java domain designing enterprise
level systems or even maintaining them for system
performance and ehancements.

The book is well written and all the potential
gotchas and the mistakes commonly done in application
design and development are outlined with appropriate
alternate solutions.

The book covers all aspects of java and ejb application
development and their best practices.

Overall, this a good book to have and will be used
by experienced java developers and the not so
experienced.
