Excellent Guide for Technical Managers

When I managed a software engineering group (over 5 years ago) I used to have time to do Java(tm) programming on my own. Now that I no longer program, it is a huge challenge to maintain the knowledge needed to make critical decisions.

For example, my company needed to decide which Java framework to use, and as expected, there were different recommendations from different parts of the organization.

As I was responsible for facilitating a decision, I had to find a way to define criteria for the comparison of Java Frameworks. I needed to learn why and when one framework is better for my application than another.

Java Frameworks and Components was very useful in providing the information I needed to bring my organization to a decision. Finally, I was able to understand the issues being discussed between our technical experts. I found Java Frameworks and Components to be a very timely and useful book and I would recommended it to anyone looking to learn about Java Frameworks or tasked with deciding which Framework to use for their project.
